The sound of ice cream pots moving their way along the production line, being filled with tasty concoctions of strawberries and cream or chocolate chips.
It might seem odd to be talking about weight loss in an ice cream factory, but these products are being specifically designed to be eaten by people taking weight loss medication, also known as GLP-1s.
These are medicines that mimic a natural gut hormone and help to suppress your appetite.
Gabe Zickerman takes this medication himself and created the ice cream brand Two Spoons, targeting consumers taking them too.
Gabe believes consumer habits have changed enough for him to focus his entire business towards people taking weight loss medications.
And there are other businesses that are noting consumer habits change too.
Nestle, the world's biggest snack maker, and yogurt brand Danone have both announced the creation of products targeting those taking GLP-1 medication, among others.
And it's not just the world of snacks that's changing.
The way people exercise is too.
Jim LaValle is the chief science officer at Lifetime, a gym group in the US that is now opening clinics alongside the gym to offer weight loss injections to its customers.
A membership at Lifetime is expensive, costing somewhere between $100 and $400 a month, depending on where you live.
And these medicines themselves are expensive, as most patients must pay for them themselves.
This hasn't stopped demand from increasing, though, and other pharmaceutical companies are now making their own generic versions of the drugs, which could soon lead to costs coming down and medication for weight loss becoming more accessible around the world.
