Scientists say almost 75 percent of our sense of taste is determined by what we smell, but what about the things we hear? The jingle of the ice cream truck and the squeak of the convenience store freezer lid are as inextricably tied to the pleasures of a Creamsicle or Strawberry Shortcake bar as the first icy bite.
Now you can add the crack of your own freezer door to that soundscape. Make a batch of ice cream treats and see how long they last. Or drive slowly around the neighborhood with your own jingle blasting from the stereo—may I suggest a little Katy Perry?—and watch kids come a-running.
