Mmmmmmm...ice cream! That creamy goodness that comes in a variety of flavors. It's a perfect treat on those hot summer evenings. Maybe that's why National Ice Cream Month is in July! Back in the 5th century, the Greeks use to enjoy something similar to ice cream. Ice cream came to the United States in the 1700's as a delicacy for the rich and famous. The first ice cream parlor opened up in New York in 1776. The top 5 most ice cream eating countries are: New Zealand, U.S., Australia, Finland and Sweden...in that order. Vanilla is the #1 flavor in America and 87% of all American households have ice cream in their freezers...right now...so get it!
