Ice cream, everyone.
Our first week with the 2016-2017 Edge community embraced the idea: "ice cream, everyone." To familiarize ourselves with the program and begin to develop our own processes, every member (students and advisors) researched ice cream three periods per day/five days per week. We began with a field trip to Fudgy's (a must!) and ended with presentations.
Here are some highlights from the week:

- Some people say that ice cream is addicting. Did you know that we need sugar and shouldn't be afraid of it? (That said, on an MRI, a brain hyped up on sugar looks pretty similar to one on cocaine.)
- Did you know that chocolate ice cream is existentially disappointing (and stains)?
- Did you know that Ben and Jerry's has a graveyard for its "retired" flavors?
- Have you heard of a pretzel cone?
- Want to try sauerkraut-flavored ice cream? Lobster? Wasabi? Sriracha?

| “Delicious unimaginable" = the ice cream that never melts! Concocted by Ms. Charlap. |
- Is it true that someone who orders the same ice cream flavor is afraid to take chances?
- Did you know that you can make an ice cream cone that will never melt?
- Think that Ben and Jerry's is an independent company? Wrong! It's part of Nestle!
