Still Waters Posted July 16, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2016 You might indulge in some chocolate ice cream when you need to cool down. But the treat is so calorific the energy it produces can actually be used to heat homes, scientists have discovered. It was found to generate 10 per cent more energy than vanilla ice cream and 20 per cent more than strawberry in tests to establish whether leftovers from the production process could be used as fuel. The findings are now being put into practice by manufacturer R&R Ice Cream, which is based in North Yorkshire and makes supermarket own-brand treats. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/news/article.cfm?c_id=6&objectid=11675751 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilly Posted July 16, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) What I want is for them to be able to 'suck the calories' out of it but still leave the delicious taste. Call me when they are able to do that! Edited July 16, 2016 by Lilly typo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
