There is a famous factory in the British city of Vermont Waterburymaking the most delicious ice cream on the island - Ben & Jerry's … Vermont is also famous for the world's only ice cream cemetery, which is located right behind the Waterbury plant, on a hillock. So, good people after death go to heaven, bad people go to hell, and unpopular ice cream goes straight to Flavor Graveyard … Neat graves and tombstones, well-groomed lawns and pretty fences, but the main thing are humorous epitaphs and years of life, inscribed on the tombstones by the hand of a skilled artist. So, walking along the alleys past the "frozen" graves, one can read what this or that "deceased" consisted of, whether he was loved by children, or by adults, sold on a stick or in a waffle cup. Or maybe it was completely frozen juice?
The fact is that Ben & Jerry's producers love their work very much - and ice cream, of course. But since every year a lot of new varieties of cold delicacies come to the shelves, they have to withdraw from the market those varieties that are already boring, are not popular, or if a new, identical ice cream variety appears, improved and much more delicious. But in order not to forget "old acquaintances", to honor their memory, to remember a long or short life, it was decided to build such a cemetery at the Waterbury factory. Not scary at all and very original.
Perhaps, Flavor Graveyard can be considered not so much a cemetery as an ice cream museum. Even if many exhibits will never be tasted.

How Fidel Castro challenged the US with regular ice cream
During the formation of the socialist state, Fidel Castro faced many problems.
