I posted your link at the site to someone else who dismissed the story. Lady Thatcher’s like will not be seen again, I’m afraid.

Well, the first DQ serving soft ice cream opened in Joliet IL in 1940 so something doesn’t add up.

Oh good. I was wondering if it was one of those things that gets made up and passed along, but maybe not. :)

In the summer of “53” on a road in North Korea, along with “3” KATUSA'S, we served every person that came by, a ice cream come, I was a Staff Sergeant, my commander was a Colonel, I think Potts, 72nd Tank Battalion..

Obama literally never had a productive job his entire life. The soft serve ice cream industrury would fail without consumers
He contributes (in his fashion)

I have cursorily wondered about this story. Although it could be a highly refined innovation that totally changed things and made it boom.

McDonald’s has had soft ice cream also for decades. Go in and get yourself a hot fudge sundae.

I think I’ll get one today in honor of the Iron Lady. Also, McDonald’s ice cream at a buck is quite the bargain. $1.20 if you get it dipped in chocolate. =)
