Joshua Nard’s Summary
I remember ice cream as a child so vividly at 31 flavors. There is practically an instinctual reflex. The smell of the frozen tubs of dairy, the chill of my nose pressed against the glass and sound of the humming radiators vibrating the floor. There are some things that I don't need to be sold on - I will consume it. I do need to be reminded about which dairy product to purchase. Triggering my interests with brand relationships. That's where we begin.
