Waterbury, Vermont

On the way out of the "top secret" area of the tour, I sneak this picture when no one is looking. It's pretty obvious to me that it's Ben & Jerry's most tightly held secret. Don't you agree?

Ahhhh, the moment has finally arrived. It is ice cream taste testing time! I enter the FlavoRoom with great anticipation.

The crowd gathers around the free samples. We are treated to Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Oatmeal Cookie Crunch. Mmmm! I'm a pig. I sample each flavor not once, not twice, but three times. Yup, I down 6 of these babies. BURRRRPPPP! ICE CREAM GOOOOOD! ME LIKE ICE CREAM!

While eating my fill of ice cream cups I read this large sign that explains how they devise their new flavors. Sorry, it's a little hard to read. Must have been from all the ice cream I've eaten, I wasn't able to get the camera to focus correctly due to all the "brain freeze" that is going on in my head.

God, I'm feeling a bit bloated from all the ice cream cups. It is almost as if the ice cream has expanded inside me. But with one quick look in the FlavoRoom Mirror I'm able to determine I'm just as thin as ever, life is good.
