Ive been rewatching Bojack horseman and I just realized that in S4 E11 Times arrow (The one with his mother’s dementia) at the end when she and bojack are talking he says “Can you taste the ice cream mom?” And she looks down ands says “Oh bojack its so… Delicious” BECAUSE SHE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT ICE CREAM TASTE LIKE BECAUSE SHE HAS NEVER HAD ANY SO SHE HAS TO LIE 😭😭😭. Im sorry if this was obvious to some else but its the first time I noticed it
I know you think you’re onto something, but I really find it hard to believe Beatrice lived her whole life as an adult without ever tasting ice cream. She did move on from her parents at a young age. She knew what it tasted like. The point was that Bojack turned and entered into her dementia approaching her with kindness for once instead of being angry and hateful.
Didn’t Honey let her have one at the bar victory celebration?
Freezie Pop (basically an old timey popsicle) which is vastly different from ice cream even back then. Plus she only got like one taste. Given how traumatic that night was, she probably blocked it out
