#7: Go to Ben and Jerry's Factory

I scream, You scream, We all scream for ICE CREAM!

In July I had the opportunity to go to Stowe, VT with my good friend Jen Whitlock. Of course, one of the reasons we went was for a 30 for 30 item that desperately needed action: Visit the Ben & Jerry's HQ. That famous ice cream in the sky is an irresistible temptress.


For $3 visitors can purchase tickets to tour the one and only Ben & Jerry's factory, which incidentally makes a quarter of a million pints of ice cream a day! Photography is not allowed of course; B&J don't want any potential ice cream entrepreneurs or spies stealing their famous recipes.

By the end of the tour, we were all screaming for ice cream. Thank goodness, the tour ended with a sample of a flavor that is yet-to-be released. Jen and I got to try "Late Night Snack": vanilla ice cream with a salty caramel swirl and chocolate covered potato chips. It was delicious. Look for it in stores soon, folks, you've got to try it for yourself.
