Ice cream weather

So tonight my dear hubby and I went on a little date night. We went out for some italian and after dinner we decided we needed to get something sweet to take home while we watched a movie. We went to my favorite ice cream shop, Sebastian Joe's and on the way we talked about how crazy it is that we were going out for ice cream on such a dang cold night.  As we were ordering we noticed a sign that said something like, "Sine it's so cold out and you are still buying our ice cream, you get a discount based on the weather. The colder it is, the bigger the discount."
And there was a chart below that went as follows. 
20-10 degrees- 5% off
10-0 degrees- 10% off
o to -10 degrees- 15% off
-10 to -20 degrees- 20% off
-20 to -30 degrees- 25% off
And guess how much our ice cream was discounted? 25%! Thats right, it was -21 degrees tonight and we went out for ice cream. We may be crazy, but I just finished my Pavorati ice cream and it was totally worth it!
