So, there's now a campaign to send Sean Spicer Dippin' Dots

"If we all bind together and send Spicer enough dots, he won't be sure if it's 250k or 1.5M."

Everyone now knows Trump's press secretary Sean Spicer doesn't like Dippin' Dots, the so-called "ice cream of the future" that's a mainstay of humdrum visits to theme parks, county fairs and malls around the U.S.

So it's left detractors an opportunity to strike, by sending Spicer as many of the spherical, flash-frozen treats as humanly possible.

A website called senddippindots.com has been created with the sole purpose of collecting donations to send "truckloads" of the product to Spicer.

Andrew Cafourek and Nick Trusty, who run a web development business called A022, created the site to signal their displeasure at the new administration.

"In just the first three days of the administration, we've been trolled by 'alternative facts' and petty arguments over crowd sizes," Trusty told Mashable via email.

"While this site is petty and receiving thousands of Dippin' Dots is going to be distracting, it's a sort of civil protest that gives back to the administration what we've been receiving."

"If we all bind together and send Spicer enough dots, he won't be sure if it's 250k or 1.5M."

Mind you, if Spicer turns out actually like the ice cream -- or wants to put forward a mea culpa for trashing it -- the folks at Dippin' Dots have offered to put on a party for him and the White House press corps.

A Dippin' Dots spokesperson wouldn't comment on senddippindots.com when contacted by Mashable, but they said it is "serious" about its party offer to Spicer.

He responded to the offer by suggesting on Twitter Monday that the company do "something great for the those who have served out [sic] nation & 1st responders."
