Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Factory VERMONT

Yo dudes! A few months ago my friend from work and i were talking about ice cream and how we would like to get some. So we cut work for the day and drove down to Vermont with a cooler and an appetite for dairy products. We were also talking about how neither of us really does anything that spontaneous or irresponsible anymore so it worked out pretty well. A helpful travellers tip is: never cross the border in that town o tnhe border whose name i forget (stanstead?), the guards are super dicks and won't even give you directions to get back to the highway. They tell you to go buy a map across the street eventhough the way back tpo the highway is also across the street we found out. And a good way ot confuse borders guards is to tel lthem you're going to an ice cream factory.

So this is the outside wit hte giant tanks of milk and cream. pretty wacky. i thought it was pretty intense.

After the tour I had to poop and this was written o tnhe stall wall i nthe factory. I thought it was kind of ironic or inappropriate. Either one. Someone paid 3 bucks to tour an ice cream factory, and probably bought ice cream because it's out i tnhe middle of nowhere and wrote Stop the Enslavement of Animals on a stall wall. They don't even use bovine growth hormone o ntheir cows, which is pretty friendly. Not that a dairy cow has a happy fun life, but at least their cows aren't bustin with hormones out the wazoo.

This is the "Flavour Graveyard" up o nthe hill. I took a picture of this burial plot because Coffee coffee buzz buzz buzz was Rena's favourite kind. As you can see there are soem disgusting flavours like "Cannoli" I think it had garlic in in or soem such repulsive thing to have in ice cream.

That's really all I've got to say about that. i twas a pretty fun trip, and it was nice to skip work for soemthing silly, but nothing very exciting happened except the eating of ice cream. Oh, except for one thing, when we were crossing the border to go back into Canada the conversation with the border guard was pretty priceless.
