Is a pretty basic idea, is ice cream packaged in tooth paste
like packages so you can serve them like if it was soft serve
ice cream, or you could eat them right off the package, they'll
come in packages of different sizes and have a variety of
flavors.

They don't have this yet? |

I think softserve depends on a continous mixing to maintain texture. Not saying you couldn't find additives to produce it, but it's not quite so simple as packaging. |
|
| |
maybe [MechE] is right, but it's a really good halfbaked idea!! Welcome to the hb!
maybe one could shake up the tube to provide the mixing component? |
|

Well you can get aerosol canisters which produce aereated cream. Could such a system not be adapted to provide ice-cream? |

Welcome, [appdirect], to the Halfbakery! |

I'm the guy who complains when ideas don't have enough method in them. |

[pocmloc], I just had a can of whipped cream for lunch. It had liquid and gas in it, which I shook together. Soft serve probably has solids and liquids, mostly solid and trying to harden if it gets too cold. |

I'd say you could make a mush that never actually froze and squish it out, yes, but that would take some chemistry work not given here. (Hint: push pops and sherbet.) |

Fantastic idea, and while it lacks the science its not
so zany that it can't be possible, its just the need to
keep it mixing constantly, although perhaps there is
a "long life" style variant that might not require this
component as much, in which case simply shaking
the canister or squidging the tube around for a while
before opening could work.
Definitely a product which needs to exist either way |
|
| |
Isn't this just WINBI? Such a product would be fine,
but why in a tube? Because toothpaste resembles soft
serve ice cream in texture? [-] |

OK so if it is to be actually frozen, and it is to be kept so by churning, what is the practical shelf life of a battery and motor running very slowly and efficiently sealed within a frozen aerosol can? Could the manufacturers supply a special retail freezer with a row of electrical ccontaqcts at the bottom? These would trickle charge the battery while the units were in the shop, allowing them to have a long shelf life. Could the battery then run the churn for a week at home in the domestic fridge? Would there be a market for domestic fridges with soft-serve-canister-docks built in? |

PS [Baconbrain], I'm not sure that really counts as a balanced meal. |

It had both liquid and gas, and I shook it up well. |
