Ben & Jerry's Factory Tour
                  (Waterbury, 
                    Vermont)
                   
                  Excerpts from Kristy: 
                     This 
                    place is packed to the rafters. The road leading to the factory 
                    is the only place that traffic even exists in Waterbury. To 
                    park all of these cars, Ben & Jerry just kept expanding. 
                   
                   After 
                    climbing a few gigantic hills you may find parking in outer 
                    Siberia Strawberry land. Ben & Jerry were nice enough 
                    to build attractions on the way up to these lots including 
                    the flavor graveyard, where they bury all of their discontinued 
                    flavors.  
                  Inside the gift shop where you await your tour are boatloads 
                    of people and screaming kids. The tour itself is great with 
                    odd little details about Ben & Jerry's and what happens 
                    to the factory seconds (the workers get to take home 3 pints 
                    a day). Yes, you do indeed get a few samples, although be 
                    forewarned they're very small.
