LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 So I guess Dippin' Dots, the ice cream of the future, was a little ahead of its time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I heard from the dipping dots guy that he saved all of his earnings and bought the company so he can proclaimed himself as the DIPPIN DOT GUY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I think that when the park makes an announcement about Son of Beast, it should be made by someone dressed in a Dippin' Dots uniform. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I wonder what cut Dippin Dots got from every item sold in the parks/venues. They always seem to do good business. And $12.7 million seems relatively cheap, considering that the company owed about that much. Hopefully, the new owners can make the company profitable and turn things around.

Under the new ownership, the company would continue to pump out the dots from its 120,000-square-foot Paducah, Ky., manufacturing plant, which can produce more than 25,000 gallons of frozen dots a dayDippin Dots Hopes to Avoid Meltdown with Sale http://blogs.wsj.com/bankruptcy/2012/04/16/dippin%E2%80%99-dots-hopes-to-avoid-meltdown-with-sale/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
