Trump's press secretary Sean Spicer has an odd, long-running feud with Dippin' Dots
Dippin' Dots, the alleged "ice-cream of the future," has a high-profile enemy in the new U.S. administration.
That would be Trump's press secretary, Sean Spicer. You may remember him from his press conference on Saturday complaining about the media coverage on crowd numbers at the inauguration.

But as some internet sleuths have discovered, Spicer has a long-held vendetta against Dippin' Dots — those little balls of ice-cream that accompany trips to malls or at a theme park — as per his Twitter account.
"Dippin dots is NOT the ice cream of the future," Spicer wrote back in 2010.

Then again in September 2011: "I think I have said this before but Dippin Dots are notthe (sic) ice cream the future," he wrote.

He even reveled in news of the ice-cream maker's bankruptcy filing in 2011. Come on, Sean.

It's still not clear what qualms Spicer has against the frozen treat but, based on a tweet from 2015, it may be because he couldn't get any Dippin' Dots in vanilla at a Washington Nationals baseball game.
"If Dippin Dots was truly the ice cream of the future they would not have run out of vanilla cc @Nationals," he wrote, sans response from the Nationals.

So there are two mysteries here: Why does Spicer hate Dippin' Dots? And why does it appear that he still continues to purchase them? The ice cream of the future depends on it.
