I think I’d eventually come to hate ice cream in that kid’s situation. A treat is no longer a treat when it’s systematically used to manipulate you into eating something you hate.
I think it depends on how much you hate the spinach compared to how much you love the ice cream. People’s memories of an experience are strongly affected by the last bit, so the love of the ice cream may do quite a bit to overwrite the memory of hating spinach. Almost certainly not enough to affect feelings about spinach, but probably enough to not interfere with love of mother.
