Why You Won’t Find Ice Cream On Flights From London This Week

I must admit that being served chocolate mousse instead of an ice cream sundae while flying business class might be a textbook example of a First World Problem....

[Balding_Eagle]

First the Enviro Nazis took aerosol deodorants from us, at the point of a gun, now they’re taking the ice cream.

[Liz]

Now under Sharia Law shortages like this would not happen (smirk).

Severe CO2 (carbon dioxide) shortage, must be a joke but it can’t be the Global Warming people

[mabarker1]

I suppose I could live off chocolate mousse If I had to.

As long as we have enough Fuel for the flight.

Why the heck don’t these airlines cut ice from frozen lakes, bury them in sawdust and store them in barns? the ice seemingly lasts for-ever! It works for the Amish!

LOL! You’re right; First World Problems, indeed!

They'd better not run out of coffee......

[scrabblehack]

Maybe you’re joking...dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide...colder than water ice.

“Severe CO2 (carbon dioxide) shortage, must be a joke but it can’t be the Global Warming people.”

The jokes practically write themselves. And God laughs.

This guy knows where all the CO2 is, ask him:

[BBell]

I have a first world problem every time I look in the frig, freezer and pantry. I can’t decide what to eat.

And yet...

[PROCON]

AGW-CO₂=Y2Kx1984x666

Not honey roasted peanuts or ice cream but you still get felt up by the TSA.

[GnuThere]

This would indeed be a luxury problem for me - I don’t like chocolate moose, so I would need the ice cream.

[Little Pig]

Water ice is heavier than dry ice, and when it melts the water has to be dealt with. When dry ice melts, the byproduct is easy to handle.

[bgill]

Don’t try your luck on Russian airlines. Back in the day, little 80 year old grandma’s would drive the fuel truck out to your plane and climb on the wing with the hose. No gauges so they’d have to peek in the hole to see if they needed pump more. Peek - pump more - peek - pump more. I’m not joking. Every one I saw was ancient and could barely get around. Why didn’t they hire 20 somethings? Who knows, it was Russia.

[IronJack]

CO2 is used as fertilizer???

[IronJack]

Technically, dry ice doesn’t melt, in the sense that it moves from solid to liquid. It sublimates, going directly from solid to gas.

Kind of like Al Gore ... if you consider blubber a solid.
