Shit? 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.720 It's pretty much just ice cream. There's like a couple 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.600 of like long cases. They've got like the old like 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:18.359 turn of the last century, like furniture and everything in 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.440 the stripe to wallpaper like they're doing it right. But 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.520 then their ice cream stands behind it too, it's good. 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:29.360 And then of course Friendlies, Yeah, Friendlies has the Reese's 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.359 Piece of Sunday, which is probably the greatest ice cream 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.160 treat ever created in a history of humanity. 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.960 Yeah, growing up in Atlanta, they had something called Farrells, 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:38.560 which was. 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:41.279 I remember Farres those They had that in Ohio too, 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:43.799 And on your birthday they come out with that big drum. 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:45.960 Oh yeah, scare me to death. 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:47.560 I went under the table. 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:50.400 Just like the old school ice cream parlor, scaring the 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:52.240 Bejesus out of children everywhere. 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:54.640 Now they had a lot of candy selection too. 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:58.240 Yeah. Yeah, man, let's just talk about let's just not 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.720 even do this. Let's just talk about ice creaming love. 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:02.719 I like this flavor. I like this flavor. 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.120 Everyone's starving right now for it, though, I guarantee it 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:05.880 that intro. 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.159 I have one more though. Have you ever been to 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:14.000 the Plaza Fiesta I think is what it's called over 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:18.840 on Buford Highway. Yeah, oh yeah, okay, they had they 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:22.560 have a gelato place there, oh that had tuna flavored gelato, 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:27.880 raw tuna flavored gelato, and by god, it tasted exactly 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:28.800 like raw tuna. 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:29.960 You're gonna say it was good. 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.320 It wasn't bad really, like, yeah, if you if you 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:36.640 like sashimi or something like that, you would appreciate this. 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:38.680 It's not something you're like, oh man, I've got to 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:42.160 get some tuna flavored gelato. But you're not like it's 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.960 not like one bite and you spit it out. Yeah. Yeah, 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:49.080 you're just like, this is really odd but interesting, unusually tasty. 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.840 Not have to try that. Yeah. My other quickly, My 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.039 other thing I like lately is a little heat in 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.680 the ice cream, like some of them have little cayenne 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:58.080 in the chocolate or. 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.200 Oh yeah with cinnamon or something. 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:02.600 Yeah. That and some salted caramel. 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.680 I am so over salted caramel or bacon in sweetness. 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.040 I'm just so sick of that combination. 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:09.520 Really. 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:13.839 Yeah, it's all basically a ripoff of Wendy's fries and 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:18.719 a frosty dip together. That's fine, that's the original, that 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:20.600 one like origin improvement. 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:24.360 Yeah, all right, well I'm salivating now. 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.000 I am as well. Let's get through this and we 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.320 can go get some ice cream. Okay, yay, you're buying. Okay, 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:33.680 So the history of ice cream chuck. Yeah, everyone could 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:35.080 have possibly have been around. 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:36.240 Where'd you find this by the way, that we need 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:39.360 to give a good shout. Was that the Dairy Association, Yes, yeah, yeah, 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.800 the I think the International Dairy Association, the big guy, 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:47.080 not the regional dairy. They came up with this, this 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.920 kind of this history of ice cream or dairy frozen 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:52.480 dairy treats. 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.119 It's a better way to put it, because ice cream 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:59.479 is the lion's share of frozen dairy treats. But technically 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.120 it falls under the umbrella of frozen dairy. 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:07.039 Treats along with things like sherbet and gelato and frozen yogurt, right, 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:13.720 or ice cream sandwiches. Yeah, novelties exactly. Those were good too. Well, 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.640 my friend, it goes back they say as far as 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:19.520 second century BC, But they can't pinpoint like a definite 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:23.000 person or place for sure. They just know that it 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:27.559 started popping up in history, like with Alexander the Great, 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:32.280 he had flavored ice and snow with honey and nectar. 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:33.480 Yeah, snow cone. 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:35.600 Yeah, and that makes sense that would be the origin 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:37.840 of ice cream. It makes me laugh. In this thing, 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:41.840 they said that Nero and Claudia Caesar would frequently send 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.480 runners to the mountains for snow. That just seems like 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:46.880 a very Roman emperor thing to do. Like I'd like 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:50.160 something cold and sweet, go right in, like three hours 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:51.760 later they'd come back, you know, half dead. 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:55.520 Yeah, here is your ice snow cone exactly. 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.440 But they would flavor those with fruits and juices and 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:01.280 that was sort of another part of the beginning of 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:01.760 ice cream. 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.520 Apparently all this is going on in a vacuum too, 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:05.600 like over in. 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:06.960 Asia in different places. 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.240 Yeah, in the Mid East and Asia wherever. They had 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.040 mountains in these areas and they could get snow and 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:18.040 ice because Marco Polo and I think the thirteenth century 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:24.160 came back to Italy and said, check this idea out. Yeah, 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:28.680 frozen fruit treats. And that was basically the origin of 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:30.080 ice cream in the West. 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.600 Yeah, in England, they were big on what they called 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:36.560 cream ice yep, because England, he got to say it's 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:41.800 slightly funny or they would probably call it proper, right, 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.200 you know, there's an e at the end of cream, 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:50.960 is there? No, No, but they would be. And Catherine Demadici, 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:57.360 who we mentioned in the episode Oh No Stradama Nostra 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.120 damas episode, that's right, she was big on it. She 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.360 was the wife of Henry the Second and back then though, 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:05.600 it was you know, in the fifteen hundreds, in the 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:10.040 sixteenth century, it was only like royalty because ice was 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.400 you know, they didn't have freezers and they didn't have 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:13.000 ice machines. 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:14.640 You needed a guy to go run up to the 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:16.400 mountain and bring that down. Yeah. No, it was a 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.080 big deal to have ice, unless, of course, it was winter, 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:21.480 in which case you were like, oh, yeah, I can 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:23.880 have a frozen treat. But if it were summer, yeah, 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.720 and you were enjoying a frozen dairy. 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:29.880 Treat and the runner, you're rich. Yeah, you're super rich. 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:37.640 So apparently by about the seventeenth century there was at 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.320 least one cafe in Paris. I think it was the 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:44.840 first cafe in Paris that started selling ice cream to 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:46.800 the public in sixteen sixty. 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:47.360 Nice. 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:51.680 They basically made it egalitarian, and from that point on 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:55.880 ice cream was a definite luxury item, but you didn't 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:57.640 have to be royalty to obtain it. 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.640 Yeah, that's a good way of saying it. Yeah. In 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:04.120 the United States, the first time they found it in 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.240 print was in a letter in seventeen forty four by 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:11.280 a guest of the Governor of Maryland. William Blayden or Bladen. 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.719 And there was an ad in seventeen seventy seven May 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:18.280 twelfth the New York Gazette for ice cream, So it 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:22.880 was for sure for sale to the people back then, 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:24.120 right by that time. 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:29.360 Yeah, George Washington had a recipe. Thomas Jefferson had a recipe. Yeah, 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.360 Dolly Madison used to like to serve it at the 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:31.840 White House. 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:33.800 George Washington ate a lot of it, right, didn't They say? 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:36.280 Two hundred dollars for one summer? 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:38.480 Yeah, and I failed to go to the West Egg 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:39.560 currency converter. 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:40.160 It's a lot. 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:41.920 I imagine that's a lot of money. 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.040 Yeah, but he made you know that he had guests, 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.240 and he may have shared it with his Oh, I 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:47.360 would hope so staff. 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.959 You never know, especially if that's like fifty thousand dollars 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.960 worth of ice cream. I can't eat that in one summer, 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.120 even if you're Joey Chestnut, world record holder for the 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:57.120 most ice cream eating? 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:57.600 Is he? 0:10:58.000 --> 0:10:58.559 Yeah? 0:10:58.640 --> 0:10:59.400 How much did he eat? 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.280 You know, one point eight gallons in six minutes. 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.920 One point eight gallons in six minutes. That doesn't seem 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:06.520 like that much. 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:07.680 Oh that's a lot. 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:11.720 Yeah, that's pretty speedy. But hey, that's why he's Joey Chestnut. 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:13.360 Plus, don't forget the brain freeze. 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.079 Oh yeah, man, do you have a thing on that 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:17.400 brain freeze? 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:19.120 No, I've done it. Don't be dumb on it. 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.800 Though before Do you remember what it is? Like? 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:22.880 What is brain freeze? 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:23.400 Yeah? 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:27.920 Oh? What is brain freeze? Yeah, there's a there's a 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:33.240 blood vessel that runs from your brain into the roof 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:37.720 of your mouth. It becomes constricted, which changes the volume 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.160 of your brain, which gives you a headache, gotcha, which 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:43.240 is why if you place your tongue against the roof 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:45.360 of your mouth while you have brain freeze, it warms 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:50.400 up that blood vessel, allowing it to relax again. 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.880 Or just slight a match and hold that under your 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:54.800 roof of your mouth. 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:55.760 That's another way to go. 0:11:55.880 --> 0:12:00.080 Yeah, you'll concentrate on that pain instead of the brain freeze. Interesting. 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.679 I don't get brain freeze because I think as an 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.400 adult you know how not to wolf it down like that. 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:07.760 I've gotten it accidentally though, as an adult from time 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:11.160 to time. Really yeah, no, good, No, it's terrible. It's 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.199 as terrible as an adult as it is when you're 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:13.680 a child. 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.840 It's probably worse than an adults just debilitating, you know. Yeah, 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:22.160 it's so painful. So, like you said, until around eighteen hundred, 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:26.600 it was mostly for the upper class. But then, like 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:31.000 everything else in industry in America, around that time, manufacturing 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.560 became more widespread and cheaper, and all of a sudden, 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:40.120 you had warehouses that were big freezers, and you had shipping. 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.120 You could ship things cold and frozen. 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.480 Right, So you had like the manufacturing aspect in place. 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:50.959 Yeah, homogenizer machines, electric power, right, mechanical refrigeration basically. 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:54.360 But even still you had you had the manufacturing in place. 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.840 The distribution, though, was still limited to say, like a 0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:00.360 store somebody who could make money by investing in some 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:03.080 freezer cases and then selling it to the public. It 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:09.960 wasn't until ice boxes became widespread in America that the 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.720 ice cream industry really blew up, because then you could 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.120 sell to the guy down at Pops. You could also 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:18.920 sell to pops next door neighbor who took it home 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:21.160 to keep in his freezer. 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:22.079 And thank god that happened. 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:27.319 Yeah, and actually, as far as making ice cream, that 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:31.040 the you know, the hand crank ice cream maker that 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.320 used like rock salt and all that stuff. That was 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:38.679 invented by a woman named Nancy Johnson in the eighteen fifties, 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:43.040 I think, yeah, and she patented it and apparently everybody 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:45.200 ripped her off. She sold the patent for like two 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:47.840 hundred bucks, and the guy who bought it from her 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:50.800 turned around and made a fortune off of it. But 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:53.560 I guess he ultimately got ripped off by a bunch 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.839 of copycats. But that same thing is still in use today, 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:59.280 Like you can go buy the Johnson crank that same 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:03.040 yeahs and crank ice cream maker and make your own 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.040 ice cream the eighteen fifties way. 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.480 Well, you mentioned take home ice cream being a big 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.280 deal to as far as it's spreading, I do have 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.760 a little modern stat Oh yeah, at least from a 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.400 few years ago, that is still the biggest part of 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:20.240 the market. Sixty seven percent of the overall market is 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:21.400 take home ice cream. 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:24.200 Well I saw that eighty seven percent of Americans have 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:25.720 ice cream in their freezer right now. 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:28.640 Yeah, I don't, I can't. 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:30.720 It doesn't stick around no. 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:32.680 Like you know, if you're going to get a pint, 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.000 you might as well just plow through it and be 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:37.200 done with it and then get some a few weeks later. 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:38.000 You're not a quitter. 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:40.320 No, and I don't. I can't just keep like a 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:41.600 gallon of ice cream in the house. 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:43.680 That's oh, that's that's a bad move. 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:44.800 It's a bad move for Yeah. 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:46.960 Yeah, yeah, it's a bad move for everybody. 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:48.960 Well, no, some people have willpower. 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:50.200 Yeah, I guess you're right. 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:51.400 You're one of them. 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:53.920 I don't keep a gallon of ice cream in my house. 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:57.520 Yeah, but you got willpower to a large degree, I think. Yeah, well, 0:14:57.760 --> 0:14:59.720 you're the guy who quit smoking by just saying I'm 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:00.680 not going smoke anymore. 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:01.440 Yeah, that's true. 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:01.680 You know. 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.320 Yeah, I guess I do have a degree of willpower. 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:08.720 But I do not. So we're now in the nineteenth century, 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:12.680 in late eighteen hundreds, and the professional soda jerk at 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:16.000 soda fountain shops pops up and they make things called 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.200 like root beer floats and coke floats and soda floats, right, 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:21.480 which I haven't had one in a long time. I 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:24.560 used to love root beer floats. Yeah, but I don't 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.120 know why. I just it's not something I see very 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:30.040 much anymore. Well, you have to make it the trouble 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:33.920 of putting it together yourself. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't. 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.520 See floats very often anymore. I'm sure there's some places 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:37.040 that sell them. 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:38.080 But they were good though. 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.480 Oh yeah, man, rut beer and ice cream is a 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:41.440 winning combination. 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:42.920 Yeah, I mean, I haven't had one since I was 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:43.240 a kid. 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:46.400 Probably coke works too, yeah, coke floats good too. 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:48.640 Root Beer floats are the thing, though, I think you're right. 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:51.920 And then this was for me the fact of the show. 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:55.560 I did not know about this religious criticism back then. 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.640 They didn't like you eating things that were so rich 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:02.400 and like a gluttonous thought was sinful. Yeah, well yeah 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:07.280 on Sundays, that is. And so in response, they took 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.400 out the carbonated water or the root beer or whatever 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:12.440 and made a Sunday And that's what I called it 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:13.320 a Sunday originally. 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:16.440 But apparently they were like, are you mocking us? And 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:18.960 the Soda Jerks Union said no, no, and they changed 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:23.120 the spelling from Sunday to sun Dae. 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:26.000 Because they were mocking them, right, yes, and they were like, 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:29.720 this is their active retribution, changing the spelling of Sunday. 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:32.680 And the other cool thing too, was during World War Two. 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:35.400 Apparently it was the armed forces were all trying to 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.240 outstep one another in providing ice cream to the troops 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:41.600 in new and exciting ways because it was such a 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.360 morale booster, of course, to get ice cream when you're 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:46.600 at war, right, you know, a little taste of home. 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.240 And I think that was it the Navy that had 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:49.680 the ship. 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.440 Yeah, the world's first floating ice cream parlor. 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:54.280 That's awesome in the Western Pacific. 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.560 Well, even before that, in World War One, ice cream 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:01.840 was deemed an essential food, and so ice cream manufacturers 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:05.640 got rations of sugar so they could keep making ice 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:08.560 cream during the war even though everything else is being rationed. 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:12.000 Yeah, and Ed points out that during the Depression everything 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:16.480 kind of slowed down that was a non essential, including 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:19.960 ice cream, but it never went away, and through the 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:23.600 years it's pretty much gained in popularity. I think in 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.359 the seventies is when you started to see a little 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:30.399 more health conscious efforts, like the frozen yogurts and the 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:34.000 like fro yo fro yo. Right, Emily loves the fro yo. 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:35.200 It's good stuff. 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:37.760 Like the new stuff that's really like from the Greek yogurt, 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:38.560 you know, oh. 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:40.959 Yeah, that's tangy changes everything. 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:42.919 Not like I think this can't be yogurt. Growing up, 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:45.200 was that even yogurt that was just like soft serve 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:45.600 ice cream. 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:47.760 One is it this campy? I thought it was the 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:50.080 country's best yogurt tcby. 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:53.520 We heard it was this can't be yogurt. Huh, maybe 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:56.840 it was different. I wonder it had to be the same, 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:58.280 Yeah TCB why Yeah? 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:00.840 No, TCBY was great. I don't don't know what it was. 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:01.840 I think it's still around. 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:03.720 It had to be yogurt because they couldn't call it that, 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.919 but it wasn't. Definitely not the tangy stuff that you 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:10.360 seem like at a pink berry and stuff like that. 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:11.600
