ECF: The answer to your first question is that it is a mind game invented by Psychiatrists to increase their client base. There IS no answer! But people will go crazy trying to figure out the answer thereby landing them in the Psych ward where they can be fed fruit roll ups (geeen mint flavored ones) under the door!

The answer to your second question is also dealing with economics. The folks doing the scooping are paid BY THE HOUR! And the second part of your second question is again about economics. IF it melts quickly enough the company will sell more because only half is eatable before it falls apart, thereby making you eat a second one to be able to have a whole one.


So it all boils down to MONEY and the trickery that SOME folks will go to in order to get it.

Glad I could help.

I'll get the bill out to you in the morning. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
