Talenti Gelato Is Delicious—If You Can Unscrew the Lid
February 26, 2018, 8:42 PM

       Don't you love the feeling you get when you finally get to open that tub of delicious ice cream that you have been waiting all day to get your taste buds on? I know that I do. Well, unfortunately, in most recent news customers who have purchased Talenti ice cream have not been able to enjoy that luxury. According to Katherine Bindley who wrote the article, "Talenti Gelato Is Delicious—If You Can Unscrew the Lid", Talenti customers everywhere are suffering from this problem. She has experienced it hands-on as well, which is what inspired her to write this article.

      As a lover of ice cream, this article caught my eye. Although I prefer Blue Bell over any other ice cream brand, I can not imagine how irritated I would be if I had to go through any of the struggles these Talenti customers have had to go through just to satisfy their sweet tooth. The fact that many customers have had trouble simply trying to get the ice cream open is enough to drive current buyers and prospective buyers away. If the company does not fix this problem soon, their sales will decrease and the company will lose money. The fact that people are posting the problems that they are having trying to open the ice cream could go both ways, however. People could see this a think, "Wow, people are actually willing to go through all this trouble just to get a taste of this ice cream, it must be really worth it", or seeing the trouble behind purchasing this ice cream could just simply push the customers away.
      One could say that a way Talenti has applied to other business is by the fact that one customer in the article has so much trouble opening the tub of ice cream that she simply decides to go to the nearest Sonic and purchase ice cream from there. If she would have been able to open the ice cream, she may have never decided to go to Sonic and that would have been one less customer for Sonic. All in all, Talenti is a very popular ice cream that many people are willing to sacrifice their time to open, in order to get a taste of its deliciousness.
