We answer that one in the video if you've got the audio up. They dye the
salt ice cream just a bit to differentiate it from the regular vanilla.
Otherwise they'd mix them up when they gave out orders that included both
flavors.

Any idea why the ice cream appears to be green? I know if I tried it I'd like it.

Super cool, Deas. “Cool” … salt ice cream. Get it? And those towels – off the chain!

There's a restaurant in the UK called The Fat Duck that a couple of years ago was selected as "The Best Restaurant in the World(!)" by some organisation or other, and they're known for flavours and combinations of foods that seem crazy but which (obviously) work very well. I've heard they had bacon and egg ice cream and pommery grain mustard ice cream, while according to Wikipedia they also had sardine on toast sorbet. It's all something called 'molecular gastronomy' it seems. Check them out.

My grandparents on my mom's side used to eat their ice cream with saltine crackers, so I guess vanilla with salt isn't the weirdest flavor of ice cream I've heard of. Come to think of it, I know it's not. When my sister was in Belem (in Para, Brasil), they offered her a ham-and-cheese flavor of ice cream that they called “Romeo and Juliet”. That's easily twice as weird as salty vanilla. (For the record, she didn't try it. There were a lot of flavors available; she opted for some of the tropical fruit flavors and came back raving about something pronounced “coopoo asu”.)

Ohh, I know that adding salt to dessert makes it more sweet! It must've been good.

I thought it was funny how you guys were arguing about the color of the ice cream in the beginning, haha. C:

It's like a really deep vanilla flavor, accentuated with salt. Like eating
French Vanilla (with bits of the bean left in) with a pretzel stick.
Basically, heaven. Mmmm.
