Lotte provides a bit more explanation, saying that once it’s melted and been refrozen the ice cream will change color, develop larger crystals, and get crunchy. “It won’t hut you, but it won’t be very tasty either, so we don’t recommend it.” The answer to this one is fairly simple (and probably a bit obvious). Obviously, that would negatively impact the quality of your ice cream eating experience. For example, they say that if you open the door a lot, it can cause frequent heat fluctuations which may result in the surface of your ice cream melting and then refreezing, causing it to get crunchy. Now, wait just one second! Are they saying that just so they can move more units? Well, that might be part of the reason, but they do also have some practical reasons too. You’re probably thinking the answer here would basically be “until the heat death of the universe,” but the answer Lotte actually provides an entirely different.
However, it turns out that doesn’t necessarily mean you should hang onto your ice cream forever… “It’s a very stable food, so there’s no expiry dates set,” they conclude. What? Really?! Surprising as it may be, according to Lotte, as long as you keep your ice cream below -18 degrees Celsius (-0.4 degrees Fahrenheit), you don’t have to worry about it going bad since bacteria and the like won’t grow and it won’t cause degradation in the quality of the ice cream. We’d much rather store it in our tummies. This one surprised us mostly because we’ve never had ice cream in the freezer long enough to warrant checking for an expiration date. Why doesn’t ice cream have an expiration date on it? ▼ “Curious” is one way to describe this… To be honest, we never really had any serious questions about ice cream beyond: “Where is it?” and “Can I put it all in my mouth now?” But it looks like Lotte has gotten plenty of them from others! So here are a few of the questions and answers that the company has on their website for all curious dairy-product lovers. Summer is here! Finally, we can eat gallons of ice cream without looking like weirdos again! We might be sweating and smellier than a gym sock in Tokyo, but at least we have ice cream and that makes it all worth it.īut how much do you really know about your ice cream? We recently discovered that Lotte, a producer of numerous delicious treats in Japan, has a FAQ purporting to answer all your burning (melting?) ice cream questions.
