White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer waged a five-year Twitter feud against Dippin Dots



Dippin' Dots, the so-called "ice cream of the future"...but not if Sean Spicer has anything to say about it.

Before White House Press Secretary began fudging facts, he was fighting...Dippin’ Dots.

Starting in 2010, the man who would become the top spokesman for the President of the United States devoted scoops of tweets to attacking the beady frozen treat known as the “Ice Cream of the Future.”

Sean Spicer kept his cream conflict going for five years — stretching through his tenure with the Republican National Committee.

On April 7, 2010, Spicer — then working for Endeavor Global Strategies, a PR firm he cofounded — let it be known to his Twitter flock: “Dippin dots is NOT the ice cream of the future.”

I have to side with Spicer on the merits. Dippin dots is not ice cream, and it sucks. Of course my solution is simply not to buy it.
