What the hell do they put in icecream?

Icecream, it's yummy, cold and hard to eat when the day is warm and you don't want to spill it everywhere.  I just finished a tub of icecream and being a semi-environmentally focused fellow, I thought I should give it a bit of a rinse before bunging it in the recycle bin.




Well, I am semi-environmentally and also a bit lazy at times, so I decided to wash it the next day, which I didn't get to until the end of the day.  It was a hot day, the type of day where you would really like some icecream, but I didn't have any because I just finished it yesterday.

However I did get to the part of washing the tub.  I thought it would be an easy rinse, after all, icecream melts in the heat, so it should be a runny puddle of left overs that was on the lid, but ha now dripped into the bottom.

I was in for a surprise......

Why hadn't it melted?!?!???!!!?!???  It looks just like the way I left it the day before!  What in the world is going on here?

That was just a little disturbing.  Now I must read the ingredients and find out what the things are that go into foods...... Scary..
