Ice Cream Trivia - How Much Do You Know About America's Favorite Treat?

Ice Cream Trivia:

Fun facts to Accompany Americas Favorite Summer Time Treat!

In 1984 President Ronald Reagan declared July National Ice Cream Month saying that patriotic Americans should honor the month with "appropriate ceremonies and activities." So grab yourself a double scoop of your favorite flavor and learn some fun facts about this American classic!

It is believed that in the first century the Roman Emperor Nero was a big fan of ice cream in its earlier stage. He would send his slaves up mountains to collect snow and ice so he could enjoy his flavored ices.

The first documented mention of ice cream in America was written in the 1700s. It was written to the governor of Maryland praising the ice cream and strawberry dessert he had served at a dinner party.

In 1776 the first ice cream parlor opened in New York City. During World War I ice cream became a symbol of pride for America due to the fact that a newspaper had quoted a German officer declaring, "We do not fear that nation of ice cream eaters."

In the 1920s, immigrants who arrived at Ellis Island were given ice cream to introduce them to a "typical" American treat. Many thought it was frozen butter and tried to spread it on their bread...

In 1939 Stoelting built the first soft serve ice cream dispenser for the Home Made Ice Cream Company, known today as Dairy Queen, helping to create the soft serve industry as we know it today. It has been over 100 years since Stoelting's creation and the company is still a leading manufacturer of equipment that brings us this delicious treat every day. Today, the average person in the U.S. consumes around 48 pints of ice cream per year, more than any other country! Its not just the kids either, adults consume nearly half of all the ice cream bars, popsicles, and the like every year.

Most Popular Ice Cream Toppings

Americans love their ice cream, consuming about 30 liters per person a year. From "jimmies" to hot fudge, it is the toppings that really are the cherry on top of this multi-billion dollar industry.

Once upon a time, an ice cream shop customer only had a couple of choices if they wanted to add a topping to their favorite frozen dessert. Now there are almost as many frozen dessert topping options as there are flavors of this special frozen treat.

Top 10 most popular toppings

1. Hot Fudge - this classic topping is still number one according to most consumers. Warm, gooey chocolate dripping over your favorite frozen treat flavor - what's not to love?

2. Caramel - There must be something about the contrast between the ice-cold dessert and a warm, sweet topping because caramel came in a close second to hot fudge.

3. Oreo cookie crumbles - that's the way the cookie crumbles. Oreo crumbs, more than any other cookie topping, are a favorite topping of both the young and old.

4. M&Ms - a less messy way to get tasty chocolate on your dessert.

5. Whipped Cream - you can't have a hot fudge sundae without topping it with whipped cream. A lot of people like to top their milkshakes off with whipped cream as well.

6. Sprinkles - whether rainbow sprinkles or chocolate sprinkles (sometimes called jimmies) this is a favorite ice cream topping of young children.

7. Peanut butter Cups - as if peanut butter and chocolate alone weren't delicious enough, added to a scoop frozen dessert, it become one of the most popular ice cream toppings.

8. Chocolate Chips - White or dark chocolate, sprinkled over the top or stirred in, chocolate chips are an easy choice for favorite topping.

9. Strawberry sauce - Poured over the top of vanilla ice cream, this topping tastes almost like fresh strawberry pie.

10. Cherry - what would a hot fudge sundae or whipped cream topped milkshake be without this quintessential ice cream topping?
