Sweltering heat, record temperatures and …ice cream?
There’s still time for you and your family to celebrate National Ice Cream Month and beat the heat at the same time. With temperatures reaching the upper eighties and nineties this weekend, there’s no better way to cool off.
3 Ice Cream Fun Facts:
- July was first established as National Ice Cream Month in 1984 by President Ronald Reagan, according to the National Day Calendar.
- The most popular ice cream flavor is vanilla, according to Instacart data. However, it’s so close to chocolate that No. 1 depends on where you are in the United States.
- A single cow can give enough milk to make 2 gallons of ice cream per day, according to Cornell University’s AG Informer.
