There's something soothing about Gil Grobe's YouTube channel: In each of his 10-minute videos, there's no music or talking, just the sounds of him making ice cream roll variations.

With a microphone set up right next to his workspace, he creates tasty mash-ups such as Pringles and caramel icecream rolls, or takes the savoury route with sausage, French fries or bell pepper versions.
