Happy July, y’all! Since July is National Ice Cream Month, I’ve taken it upon myself to dig into the topic a bit. Wasn’t that thoughtful of me? It was a very yummy experience. Here are five things I learned:
- We have Ronald Reagan to thank for this sweet month-long celebration.
- It appears that vanilla remains the most popular ice cream flavor. (This blows my mind!)
- No one really knows how many different ice cream flavors there are. After all, ice cream flavors are only limited by the imagination!
- An ice cream maker can cost as much as an iPad!
- If you like, you can choose your mate based on ice cream compatibility. (I’m as serious as a banana split!)
What I did not discover is what ice cream flavors teachers prefer. And, of course, I’m curious! Aren’t you? Share your favorite ice cream flavor before July 10 and your name will be entered in a drawing for a very cool surprise from The Mailbox! How fun is that?
Smiles,
Diane

O my goodness!! I can guarantee that there is anyone that loves ice cream more than me!! I eat it every day and have tried about every flavor I have access to at our grocery stores. It’s the only dessert I love and can’t pass up! I even worked at an ice cream shop while I student taught. Good thing I run marathons with my sweet tooth.

Strawberry has been my ultimate favorite ice cream flavor for a super long time! I also love “cookies and cream”, too!!! When my mom wrote in my baby photo album, she mentioned how I arrived at the height of strawberry picking season. She even had cookies in the freezer for Vacation Bible School! (hmm? environmental influences as a baby to taste preferences????)
