Melting ice cream
Tom Carvel had a flat tire in 1934 in Hartsdale, New York, New York, on Memorial Day weekend. The businessman noticed his product was melting after pulling his ice cream truck into a parking lot. Carvel sold the softened ice cream to vacationers as they passed by. They loved the soft ice cream, surprisingly. The salesman was not lost on the prospect of a new dessert. Carvel could have a centralized location with soft ice cream instead of a roving ice cream truck.
Tom Carvel opened his first ice cream store on the same spot where his truck crashed down two years ago. Carvel invented a super low-temperature ice cream machine and created a new formula ice cream in the previous years.
