All I can think of when seeing that is how when you get one served to you on a flight, you have to let it set for 15-20 minutes before it’s soft enough to scoop with that flat, little spoon! Haha!
Hmmm, don’t remember seeing those on planes … but I do remember just the opposite … that we’d have to eat it quick … because they were usually already soft and ready to melt … didn’t think those things froze very well …
… and when we didn’t have those wooden spoons … we’d just fold the cardboard lid in half and use that as the spoon …
Hey Cat … grrrrr … I use to love that stuff!!! … especially those chocolately lines … used to eat around them … and save ’em for last … weird?!! … maybe …
… but now those delicious things are the enemy … but I still like to be friends with the enemy once in a while …

I think they use a cooler chilled by the outside air, which freezes it solid.

At school cafeteria, using the cover as the spoon by folding the center into a scoop,
The ones with the wooden spoon under the lid… used to eat them by the dozen.
