Be Careful What You Wish For!

How many times have you had ice cream drip on your shirt, or all over your hand on a hot day? Napkins, anyone?
Well it looks like that problem has been solved, thanks to Japanese scientists in Kanakaza.
On Monday, researchers announced that they had accidentally discovered a way to keep ice cream from melting before you finish eating it.  The ice cream keeps its shape in temperatures up to 82 degrees.
How did they do it? A pastry chef was attempting to find another use for odd shaped strawberries, so he created a strawberry extract.  Turns out that it keeps the oil and water from separating so quickly.  It works so well that you can even aim a hair dryer at the treats!

As of now, you can only get this new ice cream, dubbed "Kanazawa Ice",  in parts of Japan.
