National Ice Cream Month

I scream, you scream, all month long eat ice cream! Yep! That's right! The second tasty celebration for July - National Ice Cream Month!

Thanks to former President Ronald Reagan, National Ice Cream Month was declared in 1984. Apparently this was the result of the frozen treat's substantial growth, and overall consumption by Americans. National Ice Cream Day also falls under the month of July, and is meant to be celebrated in conjunction with the month-long theme, as well.

What's not to love about a month dedicated to ice creamy goodness?! Lactose intolerant? Can't have cow products due to allergies or veganism? No problem - there are so many alternatives out there! My personal favourite is coconut-based ice cream. It's super rich, and mighty tasty! Even better, why not plop a scoop or two into your favourite glass along with a nice healthy dose of root beer? The possibilities for enjoying ice cream are endless!
