Milk Shortage to Blame?

Venezuela’s Tourism Ministry denied that a famous ice-cream store had closed due to lack of milk, the latest quirky twist in the bitter national debate over who is to blame for the nation’s economic problems.

The ministry tweeted “It’s false,” after the Coromoto shop, which holds a Guinness world record for its 863 different flavors, announced it was closed over the Christmas holiday because of a milk shortage.
