Virgin Ice Cream protocol

So we're having an impromptu shindig at our place tomorrow night and made a run to Shoppers for some foodstuff. At the ice cream aisle Mariam and I debated what flavor to get after finally finding an ice cream with green price tags (special). Edy's was on sale and now all we had to do was settle on the flavor. I first said play it safe and go with vanilla, especially if Mariam was gonna make brownies. We ended up going Neopolitan. On the way home, Mariam iterated that she could not wait to get home to eat some ice cream. I gasped, "We bought it for the guests!" I am of the belief that you must present a virgin box of ice cream to guests for dessert. Mariam was all so what. She would not budge from her stance and insisted that she would eat ice cream when she got home. Blame it on the pregnancy. Attempting to appease me, she said that she would serve the ice cream, to which I first agreed. But then I realized we had purchased Neopolitan, and no one wants strawberry. The guests must be allowed to self serve. Alas, the guests will be presented with a box of Edy's with some chocolate and vanilla missing. And we can't even blame Nuriya because nineteen month olds wouldn't be discriminant against strawberry.

Blind People

How does a blind person read a Do Not Touch sign?
