       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?
