Happy Friday everyone! Treat yourself to some ice cream this weekend 🍨😊
July is National Ice Cream Month I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream on National Ice Cream Day on July 21th. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day. Thanks to President Reagan, we celebrate National Ice Cream Day every third Sunday in July. Reagan wanted to commemorate a treat enjoyed by over 90 percent of the US population. In 1984, he decreed a day for ice cream, and his proclamation actually glorified the dairy industry in America. In fact, Americans still lead the world when it comes to eating this frozen delight: 23 gallons a year to be precise. Reagan also proclaimed July as National Ice Cream month, describing ice cream as ‘‘a nutritious and wholesome food enjoyed by over ninety percent of the people in the United States.’’ The first recipe for ice cream was brought the North America States by Scottish Colonists in 1774. Since then, the holiday has sparked worldwide cravings and events and has been celebrated year after year. Standing in the frozen food aisle trying desperately make a choice? Everyone has a favorite, mine is Butter Pecan, what’s yours? So, Let’s Celebrate!
