Can you choose the correct word in each sentence?

They say…

And here in Italy, where gelato is a national treasure, that sounds about right! (Or at least judging from the queue outside my local gelateria every Saturday afternoon.)

Most Italians I know love classic flavours like pistacchio and stracciatella…
But have you ever tried chocolate fudge brownie, chunky monkey, or phish food?

If yes, then you’ve probably tasted Ben & Jerry’s, the famous American ice cream brand.

They make over a million tubs of ice cream every day in Vermont, USA. But how?

Check out this behind-the-scenes video to find out.
