Waterbury, Vermont
August 29, 2019
With a $5 correspondence course in ice cream-making from Penn
State and a small investment, Ben and Jerry open their first ice cream
scoop shop in a renovated gas station in nearby Burlington. We learned that -- and a lot more about the history of the business on our visit today. And got to visit the Flavor Graveyard with such names as Sweddy Balls, Economic Crunch, Making Whoopie Pie, and Fresh Georgia Peach. In the flavor lab at the end of the factory tour, we were given a sample of the Strawberry Cheesecake, but then had to wash it down with a couple of scoops of chocolate ice cream. :) |
