Summer is well and truly on its way, isn't it?
The evenings are far lighter and longer than they previously were after the passing of summer solstice, the days are generally warmer and the sun is shining - at least more often than usual.
While this summer might be a little different to normal, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic rendering holiday plans at the very least more fraught with complication and at the most impossible, it's still a time of year to safely enjoy the outdoors and keep yourself thoroughly refreshed in the process.
In the spirit of such things, brands have been jockeying for position in the summer leisure market. Lidl has already entered the fray with a bargain hot tub and a pet sunbed to keep your furry companions cool all summer long.
But if your mind went straight to the many food and beverage possibilities out there when I started waxing lyrical about the summer months just now then fear not, because I have some excellent news to share with you.
Yes, a soft-serve ice cream maker is being sold on Amazon and it has its very own topping dispensers, too.
The product features a mixing arm that, "Mixes and aerates ingredients in freezer bowl to create smooth soft ice cream, Dispensing Bracket with Handle – Dispenses the soft ice cream when handle is pulled down," per the description on Amazon.
And a further selling point are the three condiment dispensers. "Dispense the mix-ins of your choice. The front condiment container with a curved edge dispenses small mix-ins such as sprinkles. Two rectangular condiment containers dispense larger mix-ins such as mini M&M s or mini chocolate morsel," reads the description.
A separate description for the product reads:
"Professional-quality soft serve ice cream, yogurt, sorbet and sherbet is now available right at home, with the Cuisinart Mix It in Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker. Not only does it make everyone's favorites, but with three built-in condiment dispensers, it makes them extra delicious! Just a pull of a tab send sprinkles, chips and other mix-ins down the chute to mix right into frozen desserts as cones or bowls are filled. Operation is fully automatic; simply pour in the ingredients and turn the dial!"
What could be better than a refreshing ice cream with all the toppings your heart desires this summer?
