ice cream day

I scream, you scream we all scream for ice cream.


Most of us chanted this ditty through our childhood.

As a dentist I have pondered over the ethics of taking a commission for every ice cream prescribed

America the world’s largest ice cream consuming country 90% of its population celebrates national ice cream day on the 3rd Sunday of July and 13th Dec.

Interesting folklore’s are spun round ice cream, some claim that Marco Polo saw it at China first and imported it down to Italy from there to Charles the Ist who wanted it to be a royal secret, and when hill fall came about it appeared that it was no longer a secret.

Despite all the hullabaloo, and the calorie threat that it creates it is quite a healthy food, considering it is milk based. And has kids haven’t resented the “drink your milk”routine and as parents aren’t we on a repeat trip. Another myth that I constantly hear is about colds and ice cream, but usually the oral temperature warms the ice cream by the time it hits your throat.

In any case in 1984 Ronald Reagan thought such a popular food has to be given due honor and celebration, hence he declared every 3rd Sunday of July as the national ice cream day.

Charles.e.minches of St.Louise is credited to have created the ice cream.

1846 saw Nancy Johnson invent a hand cranked freezer.

1851 saw the advent of commercial manufacture of ice cream by Jacob funell also called the father of Ice cream industry.

There is more in the freezer when it comes to history of ice cream so much so the international ice cream association has brought out a book on the history of ice cream.
