Ice cream is ephemeral. Your only responsibility is to eat it before it melts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n We’re interested in stories that use frozen dessert to think about time: the historical, the futuristic, the seasonal, and the ephemeral.

Think: A review of the ice cream counter at Berghain after 12 hours of dancing, an oral history of the violent NYC soft serve truck turf wars, a whirlwind tour of discontinued ice creams (looking at you Choco Taco). Delve into the tools and technology that are reshaping the industry to predict what we’ll be tasting in 2050.
