Those poor Eskimos. It's about time.
The Inuit have a terrible time with deafness. They eat all that whale blubber and then they spend most of their lives with their ears covered. All that wax buildup causes terrible inner and middle ear trouble.
So what do the Whites do? They name the absolute worst food in the world for Inuit after them. Chocolate causes mucous. Ice cream has all that fat. No Inuit should ever touch an Eskimo pie.
Of course my first wife was an audiologist, and we darn near moved to Moose Jaw so she could take a position as the local audiologist/hearing aid dispenser. That's the only reason why I know this.
We discussed it one hot summer night over Eskimo Pies some 35 years ago. I couldn't help noticing the irony. I haven't been able to eat an Eskimo Pie without chucking about it ever since.
