Ben & Jerry's-Day 9

Beautiful full moon last night at Bar Harbor

We left Bar Harbor and headed west. I was on a mission to get to Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Factory. After leaving Maine we entered........

 The mountains up here are very pretty, but it was a bit rainy this day. Not many opportunities for good pictures. Soon we were in...

 Vermont................... and wasn't long until we made it to.........

 Ben & Jerry's. These are different kinds of ice cream scoops over the years...............

 If any of you watch Food Channel. This is where Robert Irvine from"Dinner Impossible" came here and did a meal for 400 employees and the whole menu had to have one of the flavors of their ice cream in every dish. There is a challenge for you Cindy Holland. :)

 During the tour of the factory, you couldn't take pictures, but this is the actual room where Ben & Jerry originally did their lab testing of flavors.

 This is a replica of the bus that Ben & Jerry started out their business in, traveling across the country giving away samples. The original bus burnt.

 Behind the factory is the graveyard where the flavors that didn't make it are.

I don't think so.    Not sure why this one didn't make it. :) :)

                                                                    Or this one.

                                           A few of Ben & Jerry's cows. 

 These are the vats that go into the factory, and they were big...

After the tour they give you a sample of ice cream and it was Triple Caramel Chunk Swirl and it was good, but couldn't leave there without getting a real cone of ice cream. I got Strawberry Cheesecake and Buddy had Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. They have a Bucket of Ice Cream called the "Vermonster" We saw two boys that purchased it. It has 14,000 calories and 500 grams of fat. Now that is sugar overload. Not sure if they finished it or not.
