Tried 'em once, didn't find them too good but did find them overpriced. Never went back. (shrug)

Re: Dippin Dots files for bankruptcy

Not too surprised to hear the news.

The product is hard to turn a big profit on because of the need for specialized transport and storage due to the extreme cold needed to keep the product frozen.

It has to be kept between -30 and -40 degrees fahrenheit to keep it from melting

The product itself is also expensive, even when buying direct from the manufacturer, which is why it costs so much when it is sold on the secondary market
