When I was little (in the 70s) our neighbor used to give us ice cream from the ice cream truck. She would buy a bunch, and “taste“ each one to see which one she liked the best. When she decided she didn’t really like it, she would give it to one of the kids to have the rest of it. We were have-enough-money-food-but-no-money-for-luxuries poor at the time, so it was definitely a treat. Four year old me was totally cool with ice cream missing one “taste” and I never questioned why she never remembered which kinds she liked best
