Hello and welcome to the Modern Maker podcast for Thursday July 23rd 2020 otherwise known as

Vanilla Ice Cream Day which I feel like we've had like at least

multiple other ice cream days, but apparently not vanilla ice cream day.

The blandest of ice creams.

It's just the foundation to every good Sunday.

It's the base, it's the the plywood of Sundays. No of ice cream.

Yeah, it's just it's just the beginning and you have everywhere to go from there you know a substrate yeah okay here's a question

They put vanilla into vanilla ice cream is no flavor ice cream any good flavorless ice cream I mean milk flavored ice cream right cream.

Milk flavored ice cream.

Just sugar, milk, cream, whatever it is.

It is.

Okay.

I think people often think that vanilla is the like a new flavor but vanilla is off white. It's not yeah that's true. I like vanilla

vanilla flavoring as a flavor one of my favorite things to do with like a

mediocre bottle of whiskey is you get the whole dried vanilla bean. So there's no

sugar in it at all. You get to get this really long dried bean that comes right off the tree and you just drop that right

into the bottle of whiskey you let sit for like a month and it doesn't change the

flavor so much but you get that vanilla and whiskey aroma and then that

aroma really impacts the flavor it's fantastic. Now I got a question. Yeah that

makes sense. Okay. So Mike is obviously too young for this but Ben you might be a little bit too old.

I think I was right in the wheelhouse.

But admitted if it's true, Ben, did you ever like vanilla ice?
