March 10, 2022 • Sarah Hemmert Jensen and Brody Hoelscher • Episode 19

A brief history of the worlds favorite cold sweet! Learn about where it originated, the first flavors, the WEIRDEST flavors and what murders and deaths have been associated with this summer treat!

From Bioluminescent Vanilla in Europe to "Horse Flesh" in Asia to Ghost Pepper (in which you have to sign a Wavier to order) in the United States, we cover all the fascinating extremes of the worlds favorite Icy Sweet! Also, find out how we got to talking about our illogical childhood fears like taking out the trash (knowing you were being stalked), or swimming in a pool in the middle of summer at least an hour from any beach (and knowing a Shark was after you)...it got weird. Enjoy!
