This week we'll delve into the following:

  • The inside story on why soldiers needed ice cream to keep going during WWII--the U.S. Navy spent $1 million converting a barge into a floating ice cream factory that made 10 gallons of ice cream every seven minutes.
  • During the war, Tom Carvel was selling ice cream at Ft. Bragg and according to Carvel lore learning the freezer business--but it was his brother Bruce who was developing the freezers that would make Tom Carvel a multi-millionaire.
  • How Tom was able to take credit for his brother's freezer inventions and get away with it.
  • The seeds for this love/hate relationship between the brothers were planted early on, with Bruce being the eldest, the favorite, and "the handsome one."

“Cold Storage” is hosted by Heather Quinlan, head of Canvasback Kid Productions, and Paul Finnegan, creator/host of the acclaimed podcast CenterPieceNY.
