Dr. Whippy Makes Everything Better With Ice Cream

As far as robots go, Dr. Whippy isn’t fancy. He doesn’t have lots of blinky lights and he doesn’t have any laser cannons. In fact, he doesn’t even move. But I still think Dr. Whippy is the robot that is most likely to solve all of humanity’s problems. Why? Because he gives out free ice cream in proportion to your perceived level of unhappiness:
“Employing voice stress analysis of the user’s answers to specific questions, varying degrees of unhappiness are measured and the counteractive quantity of ice cream is dispensed: The more unhappy you are, the more ice cream you need.”
Wow, how incredibly awesome is that? My only criticism might be that as far as I can tell from the pictures, Dr. Whippy is serving some sort of vanilla chocolate pistachio mix, which doesn’t seem likely to improve the mood of anyone, regardless of quantity. My suggestion? Chocolate chip cookie dough. And bigger cones.
