1 A. It does not -- when you actually add it it does not,
2 as long as it is used during busy periods it has no affect
3 at all at the other end. You would not know by taking the
4 shake at the other end of the machine that it had actually
5 happened.
6
7 Q. My first question was does it make the mix runny?
8 A. Obviously it dilutes it, yes.
9
10 Q. So if you were seen dividing a crate of shake mix into two
11 and putting it into two of the re-run churns which were
12 diluted with water, that would be pretty near the mark,
13 would it not?
14 A. Yes.
15
16 Q. That diluted mixture in the re-run churn would be a good
17 deal runnier than the ordinary shake itself?
18 A. Not necessarily, because the re-run would actually get
19 quite solid overnight. Therefore, that is why it would go
20 into the re-run as opposed to the raw mix.
21
22 Q. Tell me how you went about diluting the milk shake mix?
23 Explain it to us?
24 A. It would be done inside the cooler.
25
26 Q. Inside the chiller which is a walk-in cabinet?
27 A. It is a walk-in refrigerator.
28
29 Q. So you take a crate. The crate of milk shake mix is a
30 hard plastic crate with a plastic bag inside sealed, but
31 with a button where you can remove it?
32 A. That is correct, yes.
33
34 Q. What you would do is to take one of those bags of milk
35 shake mix and poor it into the churns and then dilute it
36 with water; is that right?
37 A. That would happen, yes.
38
39 Q. Then you would pour that diluted mixture into the back of
40 the shake machine?
41 A. At high volume times.
42
43 Q. The ambient temperature of the shake machine is supposed
44 to be, I think, about 24.5 degrees Fahrenheit before it is
45 used, is it not?
46 A. I cannot remember what figures are now.
47
48 Q. It is well below the freezing point of water, is it not?
49 A. The back refrigerator, I cannot remember what that
50 temperature was now. I cannot remember, but the actual
51 back door where the mix is actually kept prior to being
52 pumped into the freezer chambers is not a frozen
53 temperature. It is like a chill type cabinet as opposed
54 to a frozen cabinet.
55
56 Q. But the end product has been through a freezing or
57 semi-freezing process?
58 A. It has yes.
59
60 Q. Because it has icing?
