[HDLIVE2010]

Thank you for your efforts and we await the all-new video footage

I was at a Cold Stone where they lowered the temperature in the room to just above frrrreeezing point so your ice cream doesn't melt.

[DeeDoubleYou81]

Really!? Now that would be cool! (pun intended) ;)

At our creamery, if you ask them to sing the song they get so angry.

The prices seem about the same, a regular cone with no mix ins here is about 6$

Small cup being 3$

So for the same price, you get a song and awesome flavors not available anywhere, lucky you xD.

[DeeDoubleYou81]

That's too bad they won't sing.

These girls were delighted when I asked them to sing, they weren't even camera shy! :)

[kalmtraveler]

Could I still get my classic chocolate with reese's peanutbutter cup mix-in there?

[DeeDoubleYou81]

I'm not sure, but I think so, especially in the larger cities. :)

[nikonninja]

Pretty similar to the ones in our area - but the employees there seem much more happier to do their jobs. And that one girl near the entrance - damn she's tall.

[DeeDoubleYou81]

The workers here were super genki! Overall, it is pretty typical that Japanese clerks are really helpful, friendly and seemingly cheerful, at least where I live.

Oh, yeah, that girl was tall!

[ensortion]

it's like five bucks here in Australia for the largest cup size, that's without extra mix-ins...five Australian dollars, soooooo, like 10 cents everywhere else lol ^_^

[DeeDoubleYou81]

That's not too bad for the large size. Oh, and don't forget the U.S. dollar is crap right now too! Sure is nice to live in Japan right now!! ;)

[ensortion]

yeah I read that Japanese exporters are worried as heck coz they're international sales are gonna go down because of the might of the yen right now....but at least it's good for everyone else right now :D

[RisuMiso]

Yeah it's horrible for Japan because the higher the yen goes the less Japanese exporters make. When the country is mostly export, that's not a good thing.

[ThePacificCrossing]

They should get paid more for the dinner theater duty. No Cold Stones here in Kyushuu that i know of.. was the cost the same as in the states?

[Degenskonto]

What does it cost in the states?

[DeeDoubleYou81]

If I remember right, the small size is just under $3 without mix-ins.

[Degenskonto]

Without knowing how small the smallest one is... thats cheap! lol

[LifeInShiga]

The sizes are the same as the U.S. "like it" "love it" "gotta have it"

[LifeInShiga]

Haha..oops, just realized those sizes won't mean anything to you. I'm not sure of the ml of each size but, yeah, it's reasonable for hand-mixed ice cream! :)

[Degenskonto]

hehe :P

[DeeDoubleYou81]

Here it cost about 400yen for the small size in a waffle bowl and no mix-ins. I think that's a little more than back home, but not too much. AND, they have flavors here that are not available in the U.S. like macha!

[ensortion]

macha = f*#k yeah!

[DeeDoubleYou81]

haha, nicely put!
