Many years ago, pre-1977 as it was pre-child, we had a gang of friends on our porch making ice cream in our old White Mountain freezer. When we finished, our friend said, "Here, I'll help clean up" and before we could stop her she picked up the bucket and emptied it on the lawn. All that salt water killed the grass in the throw-pattern, and it was many years before it grew back. To this day you can still see where it was as the grass grows differently there. But, it was a hot day, and the ice cream was great!
