CHINESE GO GA-GA OVER ICE CREAM

BROOKINGS, Ore. (Wireless Flash) -- It looks like the Chinese are starting to scream for ice cream just as loud as the Americans. Ice cream has been a luxury item in China for many years, but now it's finally becoming affordable -- and the masses are going mad for it. According to ice cream expert Pat Silveria, the Chinese prefer slightly watered-down versions of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice creams. They also like bizarre items such as ice cream bars made out of red bean paste. Silveria says the Chinese ice cream craze is so big that you can't go anywhere in China without bumping into an ice cream stand.
