I find Safeway 4l vanilla ice cream tubs to be very handy, for everything
from mixing small quantities of plaster, to acting as mini stacking boxes.
They are polypropylene, and quite robust, being stackable many high
even with lots of stuff in.
However, I'm about through my supply, and apart from the fact that safeway
are now Morrisons and they no longer do the ice cream, eating my way through
a few dozen 4l tubs of ice cream would not do wonders for my already
not-too-elfin figure.
Can anyone suggest a source?

If you find one, let me know. A friend of mine makes ice cream for a
living (well known brand here in South Wales) but keeps complaining
about the amount he has to pay for his containers and the printing of
same. They appear to be a significant proportion of the total cost of
manufacture! He uses 500ml, 1l, 2l and 4l mostly I think. The 2l and 4l
take the same lids.

Regarding the "follow a van" post, his vans don't sell cones; they just
sell the filled tubs, so no empty tubs to give away :-)


He needs a £5 deposit on the tubs then
