> > I eat Breyer's ice cream (indubitably the best in the world), and I've noticed that on new packages there is always a thin layer of ice-cream crud on the inside of the lid. Not surpising. The weird part is, that stuff is REALLY GOOD! It has this strange chewy feel to it, not like the actual ice cream. Anyone have thoughts on this, or on ice cream in general?

Let's just say that if your freezer accidentally defrosted completely... and the Breyer's or Sealtest had been in there... then the contents of the container wouldn't actually melt and be reduced into a puddle!

That's right. There are probably many secrets to happiness, but one of them is: just eat the ice cream, don't ask what they put in it.
Commercial licorice is another good one. I don't even want to THINK about eating licorice anymore.
