Apparently we've been eating ice cream wrong our entire lives according to a NEW scientific study!
Ice cream brand Oppo Brothers partnered with a sensory scientist to find out the best way to consume store ice cream, the type that comes in a tub and you scoop into bowls.
Apparently we're eating our ice cream too quickly and that ice cream consumption should be at least a 30-minute experience. Here are the steps the study found to lead to the most enjoyable ice cream experience:
- Leave the ice-cream for 15 minutes after getting it out of the freezer
- Using a teaspoon, scoop out a small amount ice-cream, about half of the spoon.
- Then place the teaspoon upside down into your mouth so the ice cream touches your tongue taste buds first.
- Move the ice-cream around your mouth taking note of the cold sensation and creamy texture.
- Inhale through your mouth so that it reaches all your receptors.
- Keep the ice-cream in your mouth for a full 12 seconds to experience maximum flavor.
- Repeat with every bite to build up the full ice-cream taste profile and sensations
