Watermelon are seedy characters

Woah, hey, guess what?

Apparently Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry’s fame has no sense of smell.

I was unaware of this.

According to the article (forgive me for not referencing it with a link; I copied the text into a Word document but didn’t bookmark the page and now can’t find it in the vastness of the Tubes), “when the company began back in 1978, Jerry would make a flavor and see if it tasted good enough for Ben to notice. Ben also relies heavily on his sense of touch to enjoy food. That is why Ben & Jerry’s is well known for its distinctly chunky ice cream. The chunks of fruit and candy mixed in with the creamy ice cream is designed to provide an enjoyable sensation in your mouth even if you have trouble tasting it.”

Haha, that’s funny…I’ve always liked Ben & Jerry’s best because their ice cream is full of thingies.

Yay anosmics!
