What do you think of this WORLD ICE CREAM MAP?

[AviatorTom]

What do you think of this map of favorite ice creams around the world? What is your favorite?

I'm calling bollocks on this one. It's based on google search data rather than sales eg anyone asking "what is neopoltian ice cream" rather than buying it.

Looking at uk sales it seems to only be the budget brands that do it

[Grond21]

I'm with you on this one

[FreyaRed]

No data source, no credibility.

[DryGermanGuy]

Definitely incorrect for Germany. People order vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, whenever I am standing in line for icecream.

[OlderAndWiser]

I don't believe Neapolitan is the favorite ice cream in the US. I think @purplepoppy is right about the data.

[AviatorTom]

@OlderAndWiser I agree with you. I haven't had Neapolitan ice cream since I was a kid, though it was popular back then. And we all know that @purplepoppy is right about most things.

[OlderAndWiser]

Of course. She is from the UK.

Maps like the World Ice Cream Map are fascinating! 🍦 They showcase the diverse flavors and preferences across the globe. My favorite is gelato with its smooth, creamy texture and rich flavors. I remember savoring a pistachio gelato in a little Italian village, where the nutty sweetness was perfectly balanced. It's a delicious reminder of how flavors can capture the essence of a place and culture.

I think about the map:

it's too small to read it properly :)

Also: we DO! have ice cream here in Thailand.

[AviatorTom]

@andreasderjuengere FYI... If you click or tap on the map, you can blow it up (make it bigger) so it's easier to read

[andreasderjuengere]

Blowing up the world map... I like the idea.

That's funny

[RebelinSteel]

That it’s either using dodgy data or old data or both. I do not even think they sell Neapolitan ice cream any more.

[Red_Arrow]

Every time I stop to buy ice cream anywhere, there is Neapolitan in the freezer case. So it is definitely sold all over.

[Red_Arrow]

But I seldom buy that, so I do not think it is the favorite in North America.

[RebelinSteel]

@Red_Arrow not seen it in years.

[exitseven]

The big takeaway is that the whole world likes ice cream. This is my fave.

[zagor]

WTF is Matcha and how do I buy stock in the company that makes it?

[msc545]

It looks kind of messy but then again ice cream is kind of messy.

[MisterWack]

Neapolitan Ice Cream is great, though I’m a Mint Chocolate Chip guy.

[Caroline91]

ICE CREAM!! Did somebody say ice cream?

[beefcakebradybatson]

C-H-O-C-O-L-A-T-E !!!

[Grond21]

I need the source

[AviatorTom]

@Grond21 It's in the lower right corner of the map, and uses Google search data, as stated in the upper left corner

Thank you
