Absolutely agree with this observation. Keeping all the tubs en-mass will mean that it will take a lot longer to warm up.
But again, I can't believe there is a 3 page thread on this.
Lastly - come on, even when you buy an ice-cream cake from Haagen-Dazs, when you take it out of the fridge, it's still rock solid. I don't see people complaining to HD.
I hope everyone who has contributed to this thread knows that there is actually no refrigerator on-board, and that the ice-cream are all packed in a large styrofoam box with dry ice. My thoughts go to the FAs who have to handle more than 300 tubs of frozen ice-cream.
I have seen then having to repackage the leftover tubs back into the box and I must say CX has no concern for occupational safety of the FAs. I have seen FAs having to squat or kneel on the floor and sort through the various tubs of ice-cream, sometimes with their bare hands, although they appear to have been issued kitchen mittens for this as well.
