Excerpt from the chocolate factory tour. Tour Guide in Scharffen Berger: So do you know how vanilla plants pollinate? Us: Monkey? TGSB: No... Us: Bat? TGSB: No. They have to be hand pollinated. That's why vanilla bean is very expensive. You know, hand pollinated? Like, maybe start with some soft music... Us: Yes, Berry White! (ok, it's definitely funnier when you were loaded with PEA from the bittersweet sample...)
