July is National Ice Cream Month

National Ice Cream Month

Ice cream hasn't always been as delicious as it is now. The ancient Greeks used to eat bowls of chipped ice mixed with fruit and honey. The Persians had their iced treats with rose water and vermicelli.

These chilled refreshers were delicacies of their time. But with 20th Century refrigeration and the 31 flavors of Baskin-Robbins and other innovations, ice cream became both ubiquitous and more delicious! Enjoy your ice cream in July, National Ice Cream Month.
