I scream, You scream, We all scream....

FOR ICE CREAM!!!

Today is National Ice Cream Day. Did you even know there even was a holiday for ice cream?  Me either!

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan declared July to be National Ice Cream month, and the third Sunday to be National Ice Cream Day. The ice cream cone was first invented in the late 1800s, but ice cream has been in the history books for hundreds of years before that.  It's amazing to me that before there was electricity, people figured out ways to keep ice cream cold enough to enjoy!

So how do you celebrate National Ice Cream Day?

By eating it of course!

And what kind of ice cream should  you eat?

According to a survey by FoodChannel.com, the most popular flavor is vanilla. My absolute favorite flavor is Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, but I'll eat just about any flavor.  Even plain old vanilla!  You know how much I love red velvet cake. I even found a brand called Blue Bunny that makes red velvet ice cream!  You should try it...amazing!

What's your favorite flavor?
