What has Chevy got anything to do with vanilla ice cream??

 A lot

Sounds weird??

An interesting thing happened that challenged even the best of auto people’s knowledge. General Motors, America’s one of the oldest and largest automaker we all are aware of this. One day, GM motor’s client’s wing received a complaint through mail.

The customer said that his family have this long standing habit of going to ice cream shop every night after dinner. The problem was whenever the family had vanilla ice cream, the car refused to start but when they had strawberry or chocolate or some other flavor, the new car acted like a prefect darling.

On receiving this complaint, service engineers had a good laugh and didn’t pay any heed to this but Mr X was adamant and sent his complaint to higher authorities repeatedly. After a while, this made even the GM motors curious and they sent their representative to look into this weird complaint.

He stayed with the family and observed the ice cream incident and Voila, he found it’s real. The car refused to start whenever the family opted for vanilla ice cream. As an expert, he believed there must be a scientific reason for this He observed things for days…

He found out the reason at last, in the ice cream parlor, the vanilla machine was put up in the front yard itself. Every other ice cream machines were on the inside of the shop. So when the family opt for vanilla, the car’s vapor lock on place and didn’t get enough time to release the lock and start.

A simple mechanism, but for a while the poor vanilla ice cream shouldered the blame!

Just imagine the rumor spreading like fire that GM motors’ cars wont start if we have vanilla ice cream

This is what experts call science versus belief. Belief is ok but blind beliefs are not right. When we start believing something, we also stop looking for reasons and logic it seems!

Both hilarious and serious stuff! Yes, no blind beliefs! Only Socrates with his 'why', 'what', 'wherefore' etc can help!

I laughed my heart out! this was hilarious ... but then belief is something that is better if it's not blinded by irrational ideas. Good that the GM guy did find out the reason ... but a car not starting for vanilla flavour is way too much!!

Blind belief is the result of lack of human initiative to relentlessly observe and reason. The legacy is then passed on to the generations to come and accepted.
