[FIH Ep. 48] Abbey the food scientist on FIH!

Amanda and Ben interviewed Abbey the food scientist on the show! Abbey has a food science PhD degree and is an expert on ice cream microstructure. She also runs the "Abbey the food scientist" YouTube channel, which creates informative and educational videos about "food science for everyone". Abbey and the hosts discussed her journey as a YouTuber and how Abbey communicated food science to her everyday viewers. Abbey also shared details about her ice cream preferences, the fascinating Oreo soggy theory, and her recent episode about food crimes. 

Abbey's videos: 

Food Crimes Part 1: Cakes, Milk and Spices

Why don't Oreos get soggy when dunked in chocolate milk?
