Which of these statements is false?
1) It’s never too cold for ice cream
2) Mackie’s cows milk themselves
3) Mackie’s make 70% of their energy with wind & sunlight
4) All tubs of ice cream contain fresh milk & cream <

(Tubs of Mackie's contain fresh milk & cream, but the statement is false because some other manufacturer's ice creams don't)

In case you were wondering about cows milking themselves:
https://www.mackies.co.uk/our-farm/our-cows/more-about-our-cows.html

In 2013 we renewed our milking “robots” with five of the latest technology from our supplier, Lely Industries, Netherlands. Lely pride themselves on a system that is built around the welfare of the cow, a new style of farm management whereby the decisions shift from the farmer to the cow. The cows milk themselves by going into the machine - which recognises the cow and fits on the milking apparatus.

"....The right answer... not all ice creams contain fresh milk and cream - ours does!..."

The compo asks for the False answer. Since the milk question is true (that the product does contain all milk) then this answer would be wrong as it's not False.



I plumped for the cows milking themselves as suggested - but who knows??!

The milk and cream answer is the correct one, another trip to google confirmed this
