Some really rich dude from Oklahoma bought Dippin’ Dots

Remember Dippin’ Dots? It was that overpriced, novelty ice cream you’d get on the family vacation to Six Flags or random trips to the mall with your grandparents.

Well, the ice cream maker filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy this past November, but to the joy of diabetics everywhere it has recently been purchased / rescued by Oklahoma City “businessman” Scott Fischer.

From NewsOK:

An Oklahoma firm has agreed to buy Kentucky-based Dippin' Dots Inc. out of bankruptcy for $12.7 million.

The local company, which is funded by private capital, already has paid a $2 million deposit as part of its deal to buy the marketer of flash-frozen ice cream, according to documents filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Kentucky.
