Unrelated to the topic but has anyone else noticed the quality of the soft serve has gone down dramatically in the last several years. I got a ice cream cone and it didn't even taste good. I was looking at their advert for a Mcflurry and it looked all ice crystally and not good at all. If they can't even make the picture look good that is saying something.
- Healthy, Fast&Cheap, or Delicious. Pick 2.
  
  I think it's more like
  
  Healthy, Fast, Cheap, Delicious
  
  Pick 2
  
  Let's be honest it's pick one and another may or may not be randomly picked for you.
  
  Cooking at home bumps that up to a 3.
  
  I'm no expert or anything, but I don't think you're supposed to cook ice cream..
  
  Cooking at home ain't really fast, not compared to a fast food joint at least.
  
  But you get healthy*, cheap** and delicious*** food
  
  *YMMV depending on food choices
  
  **YMMV depending on ingredients and quality
  
  ***YMMV depending on cooking skills
  
  Healthy, Fast, Cheap, Delicious exists it's called fruit from Trader Joe's
  
  My neighborhood isn't bougie enough for a Trader Joe's
  
  Trader Joe's is cheap?
  
  The produce is, yes
  
  Don't have to compromise with b e a n s.
  
  What if I don't like beans?
  
  Skill issue.
  
  I see you also are a project manager.
- gotta go local.
  
  I never get ice cream from fast food chains.
  
  Hard ice cream is where it's at.
  
  Still frozen. I want it to melt in my mouth not down my hand.
  
  Depends where you are, I'm not in the US and local ice cream sucks much more than fast food chains.
