Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

Licker shock?

A confluence of factors has caused spikes in wholesale prices for key ice cream ingredients including milk, vanilla, and cocoa, leading to higher ice cream prices for consumers this summer, reports this AP story carried by the Chronicle.
Although large manufacturers can absorb some of the higher production costs, consumers can still expect to pay more for everything from pints in the grocery store to cones at the stand and push-pops off the truck.

How much more? Estimates vary from 6 percent to as much as 20 percent or more, depending on region and product.

A pint of Ben & Jerry's is going up 8 percent, the most in the company's 26 years. Klondike bars will cost 10 cents more per multipack, according to manufacturer Good Humor-Breyers Ice Cream.
We have an ice cream maker but use it very rarely because it's a pain. This might be an excuse to get it out again.
