Do You Like Pie? So Does Everybody Else
(High resolution photo available upon request!)
A particularly strong crop of morning press releases is led by the exhilarating news from Dairy Queen that we Americans, in spite of our many divisions and disputes, pretty much all enjoy pie.
"Not surprisingly, nine out of 10 (92 percent) adults like pie," the release reads. "A new national survey commissioned by Dairy Queen® and conducted by Harris Interactive® reveals that when it comes to eating pie, almost half (46 percent) of U.S. adults who like pie, enjoy pie a la mode (with a scoop of ice cream) for dessert."
So in other words most Americans, even the majority who like pie, actually don't like pie a la mode at all. They think ice cream is disgusting. Hardly worth ingesting, really. So much for the ice cream consensus. Americans hate ice cream and pie.
The release goes on to discuss Dairy Queen's new ice cream products but, really, is there even any point in discussing these in the new, post-ice cream America? I think not.
