14. Invent Your Own Flavor of Ice Cream
Ice Cream comes in many delicious flavors! It was not always that way. For a long time, commercial ice cream only had three flavors…vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. Then creative people started coming up with new flavors. Some were not so good, but some became very popular. What would you name your flavor and what would the ingredients be? Do you think it could become a famous flavor? Why?
