The reason why ice cream is so “super tight” is because in-train vending machines use dry ice to cool it down, whereas in vending machines, the temperature is controlled and the ice cream is served just right. On the other hand, vending machines are able to control the temperature setting, so the ice cream is served at the right temperature. Depending on your preference for melting conditions, temperature, and room temperature, you can enjoy it immediately after buying it.
