Your whole life has been a lie

#vanleeuwen
Ever since 2008, when Van Leeuwen was born out of a yellow truck on the streets of NYC, we've been making good ice cream from good ingredients that makes you feel good. After all, happiness is healthiness. And nothing makes us happier than this Honeycomb Ice Cream. Despite being called honeycomb, it's not made from any honey at all. It's made with caramel candy. That all might seem confusing until you realize that ice cream is also made without ice. Your whole life has been a lie. Van Leeuwen Honeycomb French Ice Cream WHY FRENCH ICE CREAM Eggs. Plenty of 'em. Turns out, when you use twice as many egg yolks as standard ice cream you have to call it French Ice Cream. Fine by us. Because whether it's using mare eggs or having to legally our name, we'll do anything make the best ice cream* on Earth. Because a life without anything good is bad. *French Ice Cream

Another mistake to be made

Wait a second -- the U.S. has fewer than 4,500 staff members (now under 3,000 after the layoffs) serving a population of 340+ million; while in Hong Kong, over 5,000 staff members are serving 7.5+ million people -- Seriously? Is this real?

Such a powerful leader with such black and white thinking, remind you of anyone?
