I've heard rumour that Margaret Thatcher was one of the people who invented soft serve, long before her political career started. Any truth in this? Hymyly T @ C 09:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
This needs to be verified. I have replaced that section with what was in today's New York Times article about soft serve ice cream. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.130.93.13 ( talk) 16:45, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
this article is hardly a stub. I'm going to remove the tag-- however, if anyone believe this article to be a stub, you can add the tag at the conclusion of the page, by adding the tag {{Dessert-stub}}. Cheers, Curran (talk) 00:09, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
It is possible to make a homemade version by putting regular vanilla or chocolate ice cream in a bowl, cutting it into pieces with a spoon, and swirling it around until it becomes soft. 172.130.191.28 03:08, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Indeed. I always used to think that this kind of ice cream was made in those machines by simply churning normal ice cream. It's almost identical. 79.70.94.106 ( talk) 19:38, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

I couldn't find any refs for this beyond webpages quoting the exact same text with no refs either. deleted cos it didn't ring very true but if somebody has any refs by all means put it back with a reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dirtyfilthy ( talk • contribs) 03:54, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
Why does the article keep on referring it as a different kind of dessert when it is just a different kind of ice cream? I will fix the article if nobody responds to this in a week Gune ( talk) 02:27, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
This list is pointless... I'm deleting it. Revert back if you think this is in error. 98.14.172.127 ( talk) 03:59, 16 January 2012 (UTC) Johan
I love the stuff, but the name completely sucks. How did anyone ever come up with it? The traditional ice cream was never called "hard serve", was it? -- Jack of Oz [Talk] 21:22, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
Why is half of the second picture a ladies breast? Could noone find a better picture? Farpov ( talk) 20:39, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
Okay all ice cream has air introduced to the mix while it's being frozen...according to the first sentence of this article that what sets soft serve apart. All ice cream has air mixed into it while it's frozen, that's why when you refreeze melted ice cream it freezes a lot harder because it's not being mixed up while it's being frozen. I worked in an ice cream shop for 7 years I know a little about it. Soft serve is just not fully frozen ice cream. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.175.140.159 ( talk) 19:09, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
This sounds a bit ranty - why is it of note that it has filler in it? As it points out, so do many products.

First a correction, Taylor Company is known for their soft serve machines but Charles Taylor patented the first batch ice cream machine in 1926 taking advantage of the refrigeration technology used in ice cream storage freezers.
To produce ice cream in the 1930's mix was frozen in a machine just enough to hold air when dispensed. The consistency of pudding, this mix was then stored in a freezer so the air was not lost. Once frozen the ice cream was scooped for serving.
Customers quickly learned that the warmer product was more flavorful and preferred the pudding like product after the first production step. That first step was made colder so it could be served on a cone directly from the machine. This process also meant less labor for the operator. Ice cream machines were not designed for this change so they failed. Manufacturers made stronger machine dashers for the thick product and a mix reservoir to replenish frozen product dispensed from the machine.
The name soft serve conveys the machine is a dispenser of the preferred soft product. Originally the mix was the same 14% butterfat mix used in batch freezers but the two production methods later parted in mix preference with a shift of production needs and mix distribution. 2601:8C0:700:B6F0:1520:D9DA:1A4C:2B67 ( talk) 06:31, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
