    I’m in the ice cream biz, and people tell me all the time: “I CRAVE ice cream in the winter time!”

    No you don’t.

      If you’re referring to the winter layoffs in the ice cream industry, notice how it isn’t “the winter complete shutdown of the ice cream industry”. While aggregate demand for ice cream does go down, individual demand still varies and sales don’t drop to zero.

      I know if I offered my daughter a freezie right now, she’d excitedly put down the video game she’s playing to have one, despite the fact I could just leave them on the balcony and they’d still be freezies.

      I just had ice cream last night while watching snow fall. I’ll have some more now that there’s even more falling. Try to understand that people aren’t all the same and you’ll have a better idea how the world works.
