Ice Cream & Theatres

Can anyone, please, PLEASE solve me my mystery? :(

Why is it tradition for theatres to sell Ice Cream in the intervals of their productions? I mean you could have anything to sell in an interval of a production, but no matter what genre of play it is you always get ice cream. I have tried looking on the internet, but I cant find an answer.

This isn't for a school project, or for some wacky coursework - its for my own peace of mind. I've been wracking my brains out all day. SO if you know, please tell me before I explode :'( :D

Thankles in advance ;)

I guess its just something people like rofl.

Nyeh, but WHY Ice Cream?!!? Why not sweets, or yoghurt?! Its wierd and scares me :'(

Because there is loads of flavours of ice-cream, therefore there is a wide variety for the people, whereas with sweets & yogurts there is a limit to what you can stock.

Also, ice-cream that is rather posh/well known is rather expensive, therefore they can sell that at the theatres and charge people loads for it, getting loads of money from their sales.

So there isnt a tradition to it? >=O Thats not fair :(

nope not rly, can't say i've ever heard of it myself ^_^

the ice cream at the theatre is manky ]:

idk, it's just the done thing isn't it? like popcorn @ the cinema.

i guess it's because it can get hot in there?
also usually sweets and stuff are sold near the entrance.
