There is a mathematical explanation to attain extra ice-cream in your Cafe Frappe' at the subsidised 'Cafe Coffee Day' outlet at Infosys.
I'm sure of it.
I can vouch for this, considering that I have traversed through months of angst at the coffee bar outside office.
Each time I go to the counter at exactly 4:00 PM, there is atleast one assembly of chatter-union who are constantly laughing and yakety-yak-yakking away while there exists one proactive individual who walks around receiving and consolidating orders for the group for generation of beverages and chomps.
Now the interesting thing to notice here is that, in a group of approximately 10 people there are bound to exist atleast 2.7 people who favour cafe frappe as an invigorating drink and one that strips the birthday\promoted\confirmed etc. employee off a sizable amount of liquidity.
Here goes the algorithm:
1. Leave my cube at anytime between 4:00 PM and 4:20 PM and head for Coffee Day
2. Look around for the blabber-bunch and wait till they submit their order.
Ideally I would be lucky to have more than 3 people ordering the same thing. The heuristic rule explaining the ratio of frappe ordering individuals to others is beyond the scope of this formula.
3. Push in my order for a cafe frappe and make sure I say "...with extra ice-cream...please" (with a phenomenal smile).

4. Make sure I stand first in line at the service counter to receive the first glass of frappe.
Now what happens here is that since the fellow making the frappe is not aware of the ratio in which the ice cream should be distributed among so many customers (this by the way is the result of cognitive reasoning - it may be further challenged by freudian and jung cultists) he fills up the blender to the brim with scoops of ice cream thus exponentially increasing the volume of dairy with each scoop. He then proceeds to add the coffee flavor to the mix.
After the blender does its whisking on the large consignment of ice-cream, the human dynamo will thus transfuse the delicious concoction into a plastic vessel. Now the reason for being first in line is because after the churning of ice-cream a large part of the cream resides at the top of the mixture, while the more fluid mixture lies at the bottom. As he pours, the liquid at the bottom pushes the froth at the top in great gobs into the glass and in turn allows a lot of runny ice cream to pour itself into the glass and flow through the pores of the froth to reside at the bottom of the glass, therefore creating more content of ice-cream and a more happier coffee experience.
Voila!

Interesting post. Think I prefer the runny part because the froth on top reminds me of shaving foam... I've nothing against shaving foam, but don't think it'd be the best thing to actually ingest... Moreover, you end up not drinking the froth because it's, well, frothy.
Enough of "frothy" discussions, I guess ;)

True, we don't drink the froth but there's always the next to impossible feat of licking your nose which evokes maniacal fits of hee-haws.
*Looks at watch
Hmmm, 4:08. Looks like I'm off to the coffee bar!
