How did eight seconds of static become an instant hit amongst the Canucks anyway?
Canadians like static?
ANY noise sounds better than Taylor Swift!
That ice cream statistic all alone is very misleading…
They had to START with at least 12 pounds of milk to yield the ONE pound or so of milk solids and cream that go into a gallon of (real) ice cream…
As Jogger says… water, more solids, and other parts of the milk will be left over….
about 11 pounds of them.
But you needed the original 12 pounds just to get enough butterfat.
A finished gallon of ice cream only has to weigh a minimum of 4.5 pounds in most states…10% butterfat, and maybe 20% total dairy products.
The other 3 pounds plus is mostly sugar, water (as ice) and its flavoring ingredients, like chocolate, fruit (or more likely, fruit flavoring),
sometimes a small handful of chemicals…. and lots of whipped in air…
BCR… different flavors of ice cream, different qualities, different amounts of sugar, etc would make packaging by weight a nightmare…
Cartons for, say, 4 pounds would vary enormously in size.
Or uniform cartons would vary in weight.
Some good ice cream shops sell hand packed pints and quarts into which they press and pound the product so that you get a lot more by weight…
it’s richer and more dense.
But then you pay more, too.
Since a gallon of Milk weighs about 8.5 lbs, what they are saying is that it takes approximately a gallon of milk plus a pint to make 1 gallon of Ice Cream.
At first I thought she released eight seconds of a song but…static? Why did people listen to that?
12 pounds of milk is only about 1.5 gallons.
It throws people off when you use one measurement for the ice cream and another one for the milk.
