 		[UPDATE] Sentinel - Aug 2 - Whipsmart

Whipsmart Swamped
By CORINNE HATHAWAY

An unexpected spike in summer demand for ice cream has Whipsmart struggling to increase its production. "This is really unprecedented," said Whipsmart spokesman Donnie Munsey. "There aren't many ways to increase the volume of ice cream we make without hurting our quality, and compromising our quality is something we are completely unwilling to do."

Consumers have already felt the effects. "I went to Whipsmart last week and they were all out of Monkey Puzzle," said Wednesday Howe, 11, screwing her face into a grimace. "They didn't have Vanilla or Quantum Cherry, either. I had to settle for Rummy Descartes!"

Munsey admitted that there have been widespread shortages of popular flavours, but said that Whipsmart is committed to maintaining its pricing rather than taking advantage of high demand in order to turn a higher profit. "We value our customers too much for that," Munsey said. "In a month or two, demand will drop, and everyone will remember how we reacted to this. We prefer to never leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth."

Whipsmart shares popped up another 2% today, adding up to a whopping 37% gain in share price since early May. Analysts suggest, though, that Whipsmart would do well to increase the size of its dairy herd over the winter to avoid similar problems next year.

Dodgson Finance analyst Andrew Juniper said that "everybody loves it when [a company] can't meet demand," for one season, but that if it happens subsequently, shareholders begin to seriously question company management.

 		Makes one wonder about the reasons behind the increase in demand:
-weather conditions being warmer than usual
-demand for IQ-enhancing products in general
-could there be a fashion for ice cream that wasn't there before? (see coffee bars in our world)

There could be any number of factors here. You never know, it might even be linked to the disappearance of the Cube! The theory about the breakdown in tech since the theft may extend to the environment... *diddymac decides to stop waffling at this point*
