Standing outside in Tokyo's hot and humid summer weather waiting for a non-melting ice cream to melt is torture when all you want to do is cool down with a confectionery treat, but hey, it's for science.
I was doing this silly thing to test the claims of Kanazawa Ice, who claim to sell ice cream that can stand in the sun for at least 10 minutes without melting.
It's made with polyphenol liquid extracted from strawberries, which apparently makes it harder for the water and oil in the ice cream to separate, allowing the popsicle to retain its shape a lot longer. Determined to put this to the test, I popped by the Kanazawa Ice shop in Tokyo and got myself a chocolate flavored ice cream bear.
Wouldn't cooling it with liquid helium accomplish the same feat?

You mean the "Micro Encabulator" from PATH [youtube.com]? The one vastly improving on the original turboencabulator? [wikipedia.org]
The one featuring "three miniaturized hydrocoptic marzlevanes instead of the usual six, and connects them via a Jefferies Tube to a quaziluvial waneshaft"?
Where did you get one? I looked on all Internet retailers and couldn't find any. In still using the original GE turboencabulator [youtube.com] I've got from my grandfather, but it's increasingly difficult to find spare differential girdlesprings.
