Discussing Vaccines with Dr. B
[As the scene opens, Dr. B is finishing up a visit with a 13 year old patient with sinusitis. She is a new patient to the practice.]
Mother: I know it's not related to her visit today but I had a question about a vaccine if that's OK.
Dr. B: Sure, I will say that I am very pro-vaccine.
Mother: Well I just wanted to know what your opinion was on the HPV vaccine.
Dr. B: They invented a vaccine that prevents your child from getting certain kinds of cancer. What's your question?
Mother: ok...
Dr. B: I know it sounds blunt, but in my opinion it is really that simple. The vaccine is very well tested. It is safe and effective and can prevent cancer. How can anybody be against that?
Mother: Sounds good to me. We'll schedule her well visit the week after she gets back from camp. [Turns to daughter] You're getting that shot and the discussion is over.
are you fucking kidding me

I have never seen grape ice cream.
Actually, i know why this is:
Grapes contain a a special molecule Anthocyanin that prevents freezing, so you’d keep ending up with grape milk. Many ice cream companies and manufacturers have made bold attempts at grape ice cream, hardly any of them successful.
But then, finally, those geniuses at Ben and Jerry’s did it. So why don’t we have grape ice cream?
Here’s the thing: Ben confessed in a People Magazine interview in 1984 that he had a huge crush on Becky and promised to create the flavor just for her. Knowing the history of grape ice cream, she coyly requested it, thinking it to be impossible. Ben began to include the grape skin and juice to better see the differences between batches. While he didn’t understand the science behind this at the time, he found that including the skins increased the levels of anthocyanin enough to make the ice cream freeze. “Becky was impressed,” he remarked, “We were at her house, alone. I gave her the scoop – on a cone. I was really getting somewhere. She was laughing and happy. She couldn’t believe I did it. I’ll never forget what happened next.”
“Becky jokingly gave her dog a lick from the cone. He liked it and took a couple of licks. Then he just gasped and dropped dead. He flipped down onto the floor and was just gone. I had no idea grapes are toxic to dogs. Specifically to the anthocyanin. Becky was devasted. I had invented a deadly dog poison, and I definitely wasn’t getting anywhere with her now.”
Yeah.
tldr; The reason we don’t have grape ice cream is because Ben from Ben and Jerry’s killed Jerry’s hot sister’s dog with it.
holy fuck
