I scream,
you scream, we all scream for ice cream! What better day to shout this mantra
than today—it’s National Ice Cream Day!

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated July as
National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of the month as National Ice
Cream Day. He recognized ice cream as a fun and nutritious food that is enjoyed
by a full 90 percent of the nation's population. In the proclamation, President
Reagan called for all people of the United States to observe these events with
"appropriate ceremonies and activities."

Fun Facts about Ice Cream:
- It takes 12 lbs. of milk to make just one gallon of ice cream. Wonder how they fit it all in one carton?
- The U.S. enjoys an average of 48 pints of ice cream per person, per year, more than any other country. Maybe we should make ice cream the fifth food group!
- It takes an average of 50 licks to polish off a single-scoop ice cream cone. Challenge your family to a Lick-a-Thon, and see who finishes first!
- An average dairy cow can produce enough milk in her lifetime to make a little over 9,000 gallons of ice cream.
- California produces the most ice cream in the U.S.
- The U.S. produces the most ice cream in the world.

I try to celebrate
eating ice cream a few times each week and enjoy a wide variety of flavors!
