It is just an Ice Cream? No, you are wrong!! Apparently, your favorite ice cream flavor can reveal a lot of things about you. According to a study by Dr. Alan Hirsch, a nationally recognized smell and taste expert and founder of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, found that your favorite ice cream flavor shows the kind of person you are. Hirsch uses psychiatric test results to make correlations with statistics about ice cream flavors, explaining that a part of the brain – the limbic lobe – controls both food preferences and personality traits. He says that you choose your favorite ice cream when you are a kid and it remains same for rest of your life.

Thus, an ice cream can become a big deal in your life. Every flavor has unique characteristics. Let us find out what your favorite ice cream flavor says about you!
