The '''Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory''', or simply '''Cherry Poppers''', is, as the name states, an ice cream factory in [[Grand Theft Auto:Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto:Vice City Stories]]. The factory is located in [[Little Havana]], [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]]. The [[Cherry Popper Ice Cream Company]] is based in the factory. After the mission [[Shakedown (GTA VC)|Shakedown]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], the player can purchase the factory as an asset and as a save point. | |||
[[ | ==Grand Theft Auto: Vice City== | ||
In 1986, [[Tommy Vercetti]] buys the factory and the Cherry Popper Ice Cream Company from former owner [[Maude Hanson]]. Tommy initially bought the factory, believing it to be an actual Ice Cream Factory, but is then told by a grumpy Maude Hanson that the ice cream factory is actually a front to distribute drugs (possibly [[cocaine]]). Upon finding out that the ice cream is a front and that the factory actually distributes drugs, Tommy starts using the [[Mr. Whoopee|company trucks]] to Distribute drugs in the streets of Vice City. After [[Distribution| Successfully selling]] 50 units, the factory becomes an [[asset]] and the factory starts generating [[$]]3,000 a day. | |||
==Role in missions== | |||
In Grand Theft Auto:Vice City, the Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory serves as the primary location in the mission [[Loose Ends]]. In the mission, Tommy is informed of a "valuable exchange" taking place on the roof of the Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory between the [[Sharks]] and men in black suits. He is then ordered to kill everyone involved, take the merchandise and take it to an unnamed helipad at [[Escobar International Airport]]. Tommy enters the compound at the back of the factory, kills everybody involved and gradually works his way to the roof. He kills the men involved in the exchange, steals the merchandise and, using the nearby [[Maverick]], he successfully takes the merchandise to the helipad. | |||
==Outside Grand Theft Auto: Vice City== | |||
In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], Cherry Popper Ice Cream stalls selling ice cream can be found on the streets of San Andreas, mostly in [[Los Santos]] and [[San Fierro]]. [[Carl Johnson]] can buy Cherry Popper ice cream from the stall in order to replenish his health, stave off hunger or just to gain fat. | |||
The factory still exists in [[1984]] but it isn't owned by the company. Oddly, the factory is still blue, claiming that the company didn't paint it after buying the factory. | The factory still exists in [[1984]] but it isn't owned by the company.

The save point is known to cause corruption in saved files. For safety purposes, players should save the game elsewhere instead. It can save properly most of the time but it’s best not to attempt it. Nothing’s worse than having to restart from the beginning when you’re almost finished. | The save point of the Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory is known to cause corruption in saved files.

''Cherry popper'' is a take on a girl's first sexual experience (losing virginity). The top of the building has two large mounds of ice cream resembling a pair of woman's breasts. | |||
