Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 17, 2022

Unless he’s using yellow snow

Try selling refrigerators to the Inuit.

The popsicles are a different story

At least they’re not yellow cones

Trying to earn some cold, hard cash.

They are selling like hot cakes.

None of us would have to deal with supply chain problem, if manna did really fall from heaven…. oh look, the Amazon delivery drone!

Stay away from the yellow ones…

It appears supply exceeds demand.

Hell, in New England we enjoy our ice cream even during blizzards!

Wait until this Spring when he can blame is career woes on Global Warming and actually be right.

I recommend the Yellow ones

Try our new Road Salt flavored cones…

I work in Supply Chain for our company. I’m the data analyst and I see the issues our buyers have to put up with. They are tasked with trying to get supplies quicker and cheaper and the world is moving in the opposite direction.

I do see one positive indicator: we are sourcing more and more locally to suppliers who have to manufacture the parts. We’re weaning ourselves off parts from China. They are cheaper, but they take more time to get here and they are generally poorer quality.

So do we want to save money on the part (if rework isn’t necessary) and pay the penalties for us delivering our product late, or do we do the job the right way to begin with.

One thing I learned back in the 1980s is that it pays to pay for quality.

‘’Are the yellow cones Lemon?’’ …. ‘’Sure.’’

What a great business plan. He needs a drive thru for covid though.

Thank God there aren’t any yellow ones

Some would say that Al has a really cool job. Brrrrr…

Frankly I would start worrying. Extreme weather is a reality but the over all trend is a warmer world.

Okay, is it just me or does anyone else still like ice-cream and snow cones in February in the North? What’s with the strange looks?!

Until global climate change catches up with him.

I sell plain cones and tell people they are vanilla.

The yellow ones are on sale

i’m still not buying the yellow ones.

He doesn’t have to worry about supply-chain problems, but customer-chain problems will be something else.

He also has competition: https://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/bd00f511bf6fda240367e29a11f7bca174333f43/c=0-54-463-316/local/-/media/2015/03/05/Louisville/Louisville/635611611576446419-Kid-Licking-Snow.jpg?auto=webp&format=pjpg&width=1200

He’s serving snowballs with pollution contaminated snow.

I will never understand people who drink iced coffee in the wintertime.

Funny Miller, just damn funny.

So how does he get his cones!?

Skip the yellow ones.

Part of the General Winter ice cream chain.

Gimme a blueberry with Azuki beans and cream.

The bad news is no one wants to buy snow cones in winter.

Post apocalypse style.

The bad news is he’s in Miami!

I hope the yellow ones are lemon flavored

Remember those famous words of Frank Zappa—“Don’t you eat the yellow snow, that is where the huskies go”……

Could be worse: Selling lemonade on a snowy day.

Maple syrup on fresh snow! Yummmmmm!

The bad news is he’s not going to sell even one of those today.

I like iced coffee, ice cream and other chilled treats in the winter as much as anyone, but I’m not going to consume them outdoors in freezing temperatures.
