PROFILE |
 |
Dippin' Dots are the product of a scientist with a sweet tooth. Experimenting with cryogenics in 1988, microbiologist Curt Jones flash-froze ice cream into tiny beads and named his creations Dippin' Dots. Today, franchised vendors sell nearly 20 flavors of Dippin' Dots ice cream, frozen yogurt, and frozen ice in amusement parks, malls, movie theater vending machines, state fairs, and sports arenas across the US and in 14 other countries. The treats sell well in Asia. Dippin' Dots are not sold in supermarkets: Jones doesn't think home freezers will keep the pellets (made at 320 degrees below Fahrenheit and shipped in special refrigerated boxes) cold enough. The Jones family owns the company.
