Frozen Treats on Demand

         If you are like me and take a weekly visit to Westfield or Stoneridge mall after church, you will notice that they have a new vending machine. But this machine is not your ordinary drink or snack machine. After inserting the right amount of money you get ice cream in a cup, now how cool is that? Ice cream has grown alot through the years beginning with ice flavored with honey and fruit, to waffle cones, circular ice cream dots, cubed ice cream, soft serve ice cream and now ice cream vending machines. Ok, I admit that ice cream vending machines are not all so new, I remember on my seventh birthday in Chuckie Cheese there was an ice cream vending machine for popsicles but opposed to the new ones, it did not have ice cream dropped into a cup.

        One of the ice cream vending machines I will tell you about is MooBella, founded by Paul Kateman. When a flavor or mix in runs out, the machine automatically contacts the supplier for a refill. The machine has 96 varieties of flavors in it ranging from pistachio with cookies and cream to butter pecan with chocolate chunks, two combinations anyone can create that most likely won't be found in stores and come out 45 seconds after the push of a few buttons. If you see an ice cream vending machine you should try it out and compare it to the ice cream in your freezer see if you like the new modern way or the old fashioned way. Thank you
