Not so, S.P. -
Think Triple-Chocolate-Covered Frozen Bananas, like they sell from your neighborhood ice cream truck in the summer. Trust me, there's a guy in Chama who'll buy 'em by the carload during the seven months of the year when he can't get up to Osier for his daily chocolate cake!

p.s. Per Rick Steele, there's lots of Tobacco [grown] around Chugwater, LaGrange and Kaycee, so it should do almost as well in South Park. And don't forget Alaskan Coconuts, a major component of the diet of the rare Arctic Toucan ...
pps. If they really want to attract visitors, South Park City should emulate the D&SNG and convert United Fruit #6 to a TANK engine!
