Lovely little article, a good story and some interesting history. My grandfather fought in WWII in the Pacific, in the Navy, and he was the only guy on board who couldn't stand the ice cream. Turns out he was a skinny kid and his grandmother made him drink milkshakes to fatten him up, even when he REALLY didn't want to touch them; so a lifelong aversion to ice cream was born.

Oh, and Max Miller of 'Tasting History' fame has a very entertaining video on this very topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qiyo8D0nH70
