This should give you a general idea:

Good luck getting there considering recent developments.

it's not FDA approved because of its fat content.
False. This is a myth.

hahah, I've heard that FDA ice cream rumor before too. When I told people it, I always got the same response: "How would they legally be able to sell it to us then?"

purity > bluebell> cornell ice cream> ben and jerry's

What I've heard about the ice cream, is that a while ago the fat content was so high, that it should have been technically called ice butter, and not cream. They've reduced their fat content since then (maybe b.c. of the FDA?)

Two more quirks:
- the tunnel connecting Uris, Olin, and Stimson
- the apple vending machine in Plant Science

If anybody is really worried about fat content/calories/etc, they should stay the hell away from any sort of ice cream anyway...

I've heard some things about this tunnel... I would ask some of the more experienced Risleyites about this because they're pretty big into Contraband anything. And hell, it's right next to Risley.
