Ice Cream Party Poll Predicted a Hung Parliament
| Published: 11th May 2010 19:27 |
A Roundhay company launches a Lib Dem / Conservative ice cream flavour as a result of a poll it has been conducting over last 4 weeks.
An award winning ice cream company from Roundhay, Indie Ices, has predicted the election result by allowing the electorate to vote with their stomach, by the sale of colour co-ordinated party political ice cream flavours. Indie Ices produced a special ice cream party poll each week on the back of: sales of 5 varieties of ice cream specially produced for the election, votes cast on its website and votes cast in a facebook poll.
The five varieties and the votes they gained were:
Conservative Party, Blue Stilton & Pineapple Kulfi ice cream 35%
Liberal Democrat Party, Mango Kulfi ice cream 34%
Labour Party, Red Rose & Berry fruit ice 22%
Green Party, Almond and Pistachio Kulfi ice cream 8%
Monster Raving Loony Party, Rhubarb and Fruitcake Kulfi ice cream 1%
Owner, Mike Tattersall says "The outcome was not conclusive until the final time I went out on the battle trike and sold to a predominantly student area of Leeds. In fact the leader of the poll changed each week. I am so confident this result will match the real election result that I have decided to launch a Lib Dem / Conservative flavour, Kulfi ice cream. It will be called Totally Topical Tropical and will have a mix of Pineapple from the Conservative flavour along with Mango from the Liberal Democrat flavour. I am sure it will be good for the constitution. I only plan to give it a short shelf life of 2 months before it melts away and another flavour will need to be developed."
