Scientific Method

As a tourist on a warm day in San Luis Obispo, "SLO' as my sister likes to say, I looked for an ice cream treat to bring to a lunch meeting.  I walked into McConnell's thinking to buy a pint and grab extra spoons when I saw the sign for their ice cream sandwiches. I ordered two and asked for advice transporting them whereupon the extra helpful worker gave the treats extra plastic wrap and a bag of ice to go. I got to my meeting and no one except me was ready for dessert. After putting one in the freezer, I took a big bite out of my mint chocolate chip and chocolate chip cookie sandwich and squished a plop of ice cream onto my napkin. Darn, putting on a show mangling an ice cream sandwich. Clearly, the other two people would have to share the other sandwich between them. My mess got bigger as I went and I disposed of around three tablespoons of melted ice cream when finished. Luckily, having observed my method of ingesting an ice cream sandwich, my colleague chose a different bite technique. He only bit through half of the chocolate, chocolate, chocolate (a Fall Flavor) and snickerdoodle sandwich , thus preventing the ice cream extrusion I experienced. He flipped over the sandwich and did the same thing and had the advantage of biting through snickerdoodle with his top teeth; brilliant. I tried it and found the method exceptional and the ice cream inspirational.
