July 2007

July is National Ice Cream Month

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day. He recognized ice cream as a fun and nutritious food that is enjoyed by a full 90% of the nation's population. In the proclamation, President Reagan called for all people of the United States to observe these events with "appropriate ceremonies and activities."

In 2007, National Ice Cream Day will be Sunday, July 15. In the U.S. alone, sales of ice cream is estimated to be a whopping $21 billion! The 15 most popular ice cream flavors are as follows:
