So you hate ice cream when it's hot?

that actually is the reason -- hanging on the wall they have some paper quoting some guy from like 1890 about how air pushed around with fans is better than a/c. or something like that.

now, i like hot weather so i don't much care. but the people i was with last time i was there weren't so enamored of it...

Egad. That's taking authenticity too far. I'm not a hot weather fan. Saturday the tables were outside.

Illiniwek you crazy fool! Don't you know that the ideal environmental conditions for ice cream eating is precisely 59.2ºF to 68.5ºF ambient temperature? Too cold, and you run the risk of hypothermia. Too warm, and the thermal shock results in increased incidences of brain freeze.

Ideally, you would also be looking for 70% relative humidity... but that's just common sense.

But you raise a good point. On a very hot day, don't buy ice cream in a cone, which will allow the stuff to melt a run down your arm. That's like having brain freeze before you take your first bite! Get it in a cup or something.
