ban the use of the word "topping" on hot fudge for ice cream.

Created by T.D. on June 13, 2013

Hot fudge never stays on top of my ice cream, thus it should not be labeled as a "topping". This is misleading and frustrating to consumers. Instead it should be relabeled as a "condiment". Most of the time it does not even stay "hot", this can be overlooked as it is hot until it mixes in a soupy mess with the ice cream.
This issue may not seem of great importance in these times. However, eating ice cream should make people happy, and forget all the problems of the world. This would save consumers from disappointment as their topping quickly slides from the top of their ice cream. Removing the expectation that hot fudge will "top" our ice cream can allow the citizens of this great country to once again feel that everything is okay, if only momentarily while enjoying ice cream.
