the ice cream sandwich experiment

Why wouldn’t anyone believe me when I said an ice cream sandwich, left at room temperature, would still look like an ice cream sandwich a day later?

Well here it is. Almost 24 hours later, a little puffy in the center, but still very much intact. What is this made of? Even if I knew, I know I wouldn’t be able to pronounce any of the ingredients.

I’m not a health food junkie or nutritionist, but I do really have to wonder about this. Could my body, or anyone else’s body digest this easily? If it’s preservatives that’s holding this together, wouldn’t it be holding our fat together as well? That would clearly explain my thighs.

As I said, I have no expertise here. Will I ever eat another ice cream sandwich? Probably not. But I will eat the same stuff in the form of a nutty buddy. . . until I leave one of those out overnight.

The meaning of the phrase “ice cream” varies from one country to another. Phrases such as “frozen custard”, “frozen yogurt”, “sorbet”, “gelato” and others are used to distinguish different varieties and styles. In some countries, such as the United States, the phrase “ice cream” applies only to a specific variety, and most governments regulate the commercial use of the various terms according to the relative quantities of the main ingredients.
