Why are there so many companies making single-serving ice cream cups recently?

No, it is simply a USA company and business model I am familiar with. But a quick google search confirms there are similar massive factories in SE Asia producing ice cream not only for their own brands, but smaller boutique brands as well.

For example, one company proclaims, "We create delicious ice cream. In order to produce quality ice cream, we use local fresh fruit as well as imported raw materials. Our unique Thai flavours include Durian, Mango, Ruammitr (mixed fruit) Coconut Cream, Milk Tea with Pearl and Pandan with Natade to name a few. We manufacture under our own house brand ‘Cremo’ and ‘Iberri’ for domestic and international markets, wholesale and retail. Chomthana also produces OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) or Private Label Ice Cream. Chomthana has 4 main ice cream production lines – extrusion, stick, cone and bulk ice cream. We also produce our own ice cream cones for wholesale and retail purchase."

@Euan *******

do you really think your ex was the first person to sell 2nd hand clothes in Thailand? Every city has markets full of shops selling second hand clothes.

Thais do not innovate. They see a successful idea with a lot of customers and they copy it exactly. If people go where they saw the customers for the flavors that business had, then they will make the same flavors because that's what they saw draw customers. The problem is that the customers are the same. They will just look for the same flavors and never want to try anything new.

it’s the 5G phone towers that are responsible. That’s why I always wear my tin foil hat to restaurants. That way you get two scoops 😝😝
