Ice Cream Taster

This is John Harrison, who worked for the Dreyer’s Ice Cream company. He’s a professional taster who tests 60 cartons a day, cutting each carton in half before tasting a spoonful, and checking to see that the ingredients are properly mixed. He uses a gold-plated spoon to avoid an aftertaste from the spoon itself. He’s so reliable his tongue is insured by the company for one million dollars. He’s also responsible for taking part in the creation of roughly one hundred different, unique flavours of ice cream, and is credited for inventing Cookies & Cream ice cream.
