A Flavour Named Greed

Yesterday we friends had a treat at an ice cream parlour. (We always have treats no matter what.. joy or sorrow, victory or defeat, profit or loss) Searching for a new flavour we hit something new. It was called 'Greed'. Hmmm. To take a chance for a joke, I asked the waiter why it is called so. He smiled and said "I recommend you order it, then find out". We ordered and waited for the 'Greed' to arrive. We joked and laughed meanwhile.

Then it came. A big inviting bowl full of promising taste. Individual scoops were there for serving, six of them - one for each of us. The long wait and the appearance of the ice cream had driven us hungry. We scooped out as much as we could. Now we understood why it was called 'Greed'
