Yesterday, temps hit the 90's. Today and Sunday look the same with humidity in the 80%-90% range. We've decided not to sell hot dogs and roll out the ice cream cart. We'll be selling Dove Bars(dark, milk, milk/almonds, & chocolate/chocolate), Giant King Cones, Sponge Bob Bars, Fire Cracker Bomb Pops, soda, water, and iced tea. Some days, it just pays to work smarter, rather than harder. On days where the temps exceed 90+, selling ice cream and cold drinks may be an alternative. We're also considering fresh squeezed lemonade.

    LUCKY YOU!! The humidity is around 125% today,temps in the upper 80's with wind gusts to 50mph or so... I suppose its kind of hard to pull 2 trailers and serve both dawgs and ice cream...

        Hey Guys, I installed an Air Conditioner in my unit and kept on selling. It was a bad week tho, still did 0,000.00 this week in cool comfort. I also sell Ice cream too. I have 6 coolers of Diff kinds of sodas. I also had an Ice box w/ice delivered at no charge for box, I buy Ice wholesale. I use 10 bags a day (9 lbs each) before I was going to local store 2 times a day. Working smarter, not harder.
        I just put up an Industrial strength 10x12 awning for customers. Having a permanent location is great. I'm now selling at least 150 HD a day. Later
