How a novelty ice cream experiment became a 1990s cultural phenomenon.
If you were a kid in America in the 1990s, or really any year since, you probably remember your first taste of Dippin’ Dots. Maybe it was at an amusement park, a cool treat after the thrill of riding your first roller coaster under the summer sun. Or maybe it was in between innings at a baseball game, after begging your parents for what felt like hours. Regardless, you’ll never forget the sensation of the impossibly cold, impossibly round bits of ice cream.
"He kind of had his eureka moment when he was explaining the technology to his family," says Dippin’ Dots’ senior director of sales, Adam Gross."He said, ‘You know, if I were to put the same process to ice cream mix, I could create an ice cream bead.’ And then the light bulb went off for him." After that initial foray into amusement parks, the product gained a near fanatical following and, thanks to franchised operations, could be found in places like stadiums, water parks, and shopping centers. By the late 1990s, Dippin’ Dots carried anywhere from 25 to 30 flavors, with top sellers including cookies and cream, rainbow ice, banana split, and chocolate chip cookie dough. In 2006, at the height of the company’s success, they were selling $47 million worth of tiny balls of ice cream.
