The hot summer is the peak season for eating ice cream, but this hottest industry is not calm.

My aunt runs a small shop that sells community group purchases and various popsicles. Due to the epidemic, all walks of life are struggling. Her livelihood has also been affected because it is the peak season for eating ice cream. When the popsicles arrived, my aunt was confident and ready to go big, but what she didn’t expect was that the increase in prices discouraged some customers. She used to be the only one wholesale popsicles in the entire community, but now there are several people sharing her share of the pie.

Businesses are having a hard time, and customers are actually suffering. Ice cream is getting more and more expensive, and they really can’t afford it. From now on, they will have to drink ice water in the summer, haha!

According to media reports, the most fundamental reason why ice cream is becoming more and more expensive is that the price of raw milk, whipping cream and other raw materials has increased, which has forced the price of ice cream to increase.

I personally think this is not the only reason why ice cream is getting more and more expensive. I wonder if anyone has discovered that ice cream now has begun to become more literary and artistic. There is always a cultural and creative ice cream, such as Huang in Wuhan. Helou Ice Cream, Beijing’s Temple of Heaven Ice Cream, darling, the designers don’t need to pay for it!

Then again, you think the price of ice cream is also due to people’s innovation. When I was a child, the ice popsicles I could remember were old popsicles, mung bean popsicles, red bean popsicles, and small puddings. At most, they were fragrant. Taro cones, I believe that every city has its own old flavor. Maybe they all have one thing in common, which is that they are single. When we buy ice cream now, old flavors such as old popsicles and mung bean popsicles have not actually increased in price. The popsicles are all related to dairy products.

My father is an outdoor worker. He has to work under the scorching sun every day. His favorite thing is the old popsicle that can relieve the heat. There is no other one. If you eat it often, you will find that this popsicle is actually the best. The increase in the past 20 years has not been large. In fact, the price of popsicles, which I like to eat very much, has not increased compared to the previous two years.

Time is developing rapidly. Twenty or thirty years have passed, and the single ice cream has become a dazzling variety. In addition to the ice cream that has increased in price, I am afraid that some ice creams have become expensive since they came out. I once saw that I have seen a durian ice cream that is mainly made of durian pulp. Just think about it, how many pieces of pulp can you get out of a blind box if a durian costs more than 100? How many ice creams can you make from it? Therefore, many ice creams have not become more expensive, but are inherently expensive.

The types of ice cream have become more abundant, and people’s taste buds have become more and more picky. Once I went to a convenience store to buy ice cream. Because I didn’t recognize many of them, I just picked one at random. The price was a bit difficult at checkout. Accept it, because my inherent thinking is that ice cream is not a necessity, and an ice cream should not exceed 10 yuan. However, young people have a problem with saving face. I did not return the product, but chose to pay. This incident told me that eating ice cream is also a good idea. You have to do what you can, haha!

The intertwining of various factors, in addition to the real price increase, is probably more of an illusion among people! You should treat the sky-high price of ice cream rationally. You can eat it fresh, but you should act within your ability. Behind the vanity, you will always be hurt!
