<p>Since room size freezers don’t really keep ice cream frozen</p>
<p>Wow, that’s the greatest quirky invention I’ve seen in a while. I bet my parents would get a kick out of it…</p>
<p>Maybe, but who really doesn’t polish off the whole pint?</p>
<p>hey,</p>
<p>If you build it they will come. Someone will buy it, coming soon on an infommercial.</p>
<p>1moremom, I hear ya, because if things get to the point that you need a Ben and Jerry fix the pint is pretty much gone</p>
<p>Correct me if I’m wrong, but it appears to me that anyone wanting to eat your ice cream could simply turn the pint upside down and cut through the bottom of the container. That makes the lock about as effective as a note saying “Property of X. Please do not eat this.” Perhaps even less so, considering some people might view the lock as a challenge.</p>
<p>this is true bassdad
in fact a recipe in Cooks illustrated for ice cream sandwiches involved just cutting through the carton and using the lid for cookie cutter.
it might work for me though- I am trying not to eat dairy and a little extra work to get the ice cream might be enough to dissuade me.
But probably not.</p>
<p>BassDad:
You’re right, but I think a more effective protective device already exists for situations like this. They used to call it a chastity belt… :)</p>
<p>Optimizerdad,</p>
<p>Are you suggesting that this protection device be applied to the pint or to the thief?</p>
<p>BassDad:
You have an evil mind. I meant the pint…</p>
<p>Optimizerdad,</p>
<p>That raises an interesting question. Would using a pint-sized chastity belt to prevent public consumption of the Karamel Sutra be tantamount to censorship?</p>
