$0.03 For This? #cuba

Coppelia is not just an ice cream store, it is a very famous landmark in Havana, Cuba 🇨🇺.

This country and its people never cease to surprise me. ✨

I still have some time left here so leave me a comment if you want me to make a video about something specific in Cuba!

Bros getting locked up because he ripped money 💀

[uno-theofficialcardgamebyMatel]

1: ripping money isnt against the law, defacing money for profit is. If you turn a $10 into a $100 thats illegal, but ripping up a $100 for fun is not as long as you dont sell it for more.

2: fun history of Coppeli, it was created by Fidel Castro. He loved sweets, especially ice-cream, so he opened Coppelia on June 4th, 1966. This business perfectly tailored to him was losing money fast because the only bulls they had were Criollo and Zebu cattle, so he decided to blow millions of government money on bringing bulls from canada and putting them in a giant air conditioned room which still led to a 3rd of them dying in the first month, so he quickly bred them with the Zebu and criollo cattle and spent months breeding bulls until he got a cow which he named Ubre Blanca that produced a whopping 113 liters of milk every day and stood well in the heat of Cuba. With this cow he was able to make all the ice-cream he wanted until the cow died in 1985. He loved this cow so much that it had AC, music, a news column explaining her health every day, and a full security detail, so when she died Castro was heart broken and gave her full military honors, a eulogy poem, and a marbel statue in her honor.
Whats funny is that the Cuban Govenment has said he did this to improve Cuba's agricultural economy, but it was really all just for his love of ice-cream!
Even more bizzar, in 1961 the CIA tried to use Castro's love of dairy to kill him by hiring two crime families to assasinate him by slipping a poison into his chocolate milkshake which he ordered every single day at the Havana Libre Hotel, but the pill froze to the side of the freezer it was stored in and broke making the assasination one of over 600 failed attempts on Castros life by the CIA.
Castro also wanted to try and make camembert cheese better than the french and eventually invited a french farmer, Andrè Voisin, to try it. Voisin claimed it was good and similar to Camembert, but admitted the french did it better. This enraged castro and he wanted to kill Voisin, but Voisin calmed him by explaining just like cuban cigars, french cheese is backed by hundreds of years of experience which is why they're the best in their own ranks.

If you have any questions please ask! I wrote quite a few papers on this topic in highschool and early college and its kinda my favorite side of history lol!
If you liked this story id really reccomend Sam O' Nella's youtube channel as it has a TON of great content based around weird history like this!!

Hace años estuve en Copelia. Por un lado entraban los cubanos que pagaban en pesos y por otro lado los extranjeros que pagábamos en dólares. No se si sigue siendo así. Muchas gracias 😊

"Which flavor do you want? the choices are butter, butter and butter."
"I think i'll get cookies and cream please."

[koob]

I don’t like how positive and happy this guy is. it’s good to be positive, but this is over the top positive.

[lol._.-_-]

I'm in Cuba and its actually pretty good

[andrewg]

5 hours waiting times, not because the icecream is so good but because regular cubans who make 10 dollars a month have no other choice

[bnd]

For the people saying he can get arrested for ripping money, he is in Cuba, not the USA, and Cuba uses pesos not dollars

[JB-]

That’s quite a serious law to do it intentionally in America… also considered extremely disrespectful

[daniloparratorrestattoo]

Bro it’s nothing like it used to be years ago, it used to be really good now is cheap yes because is very low quality ice cream with low quality service they don’t even have any menu or flavors as a Cuban I can tell, that’s not the best of Cuba

[KABSCOUTLEADERGAEK-ldin]
