Hi, guys. Now the hot summer days are back in my country India and the heat is taking its toll on us. Now as the summer days are here, the sales of ice-creams and cold drinks would shoot up like rockets!!! From these early summer days, I can see the long queues at the ice-cream parlors...I am also one of the customers of these ice-cream vendors too. My ice-cream consumption level has gone three-fold high. What about you my friends?? How many cones or cups are you taking these days??? Any other ways you have adopted to get the rising mercury down??

In my city the temperature has already reached a staggering 46 degrees Celsius in mid-April. I fear the worst is yet to come in later months. One thing is for sure that I am going to consume a lot more Ice-creams in the coming months....Have a nice day and thank you for the response.

I don't eat a lot of ice cream in the summer. It seems to make me thirsty. I may try a few popsicles or pop ice as the kids love them, but not so much ice cream. As far as what I do when the mercury starts rising is I drink a lot of tea. I also eat a lot of ice. And stay indoors under the air conditioner 24/7!!

Exactly speaking I don't have an AC installed in my house, so it is out of question. Drinking tea will be the last thing to do for me in the summer, as it is a hot beverage. I agree taking ice-cream do makes me thirsty. Anyways, if you have some more ideas for me, do share. thanks for your response.

Oh, I'm not speaking of hot tea! Iced tea!! Have you never tried it? You must be in England, right? Iced tea is so delicious and so refreshing. You know how hot tea just warms you right up?? Iced tea just does the opposite!!

Hi. dev21lucky. If I take an ice cream cone for the summer, I will take up to two ice cream cones. I don't think that I can eat anymore than that. I am sure that in India, the sale of ice cream and cold drinks are making the most in sales. So many people want to keep cool as they are outside and when they are trying to stay from being out in the hot and sweltering sun.

i am an indian and now staying in kuwait . here half of the year will be summer only . so in summer ,here i take icecream daily . i like pista flavour and i will bring it 1/2 kg pack and i will complete it in one week .if i take icecream ,it will cool me in summer here and i also take juices also more in summer here.i will drink daily one glass fruit juice . but i won;t take cool drinks any time as i feel it has gas in it.
so i prefer for icecreams and juices only in summer.

You are right in that cold drinks have dissolved carbon dioxide in it and they are bad in that they add empty calories to our body. Fruit juices are better in that they contain anti-oxidants which are good for health. Fruit juices also have good amounts of vitamins and necessary minerals that maintain the balanced functioning of our body. I think you should continue this good habit in future too. Thanks for your response.

We usually buy a brick ice cream because we love ice cream. My refrigerator is loaded with variety of flavors of ice creams and soft drinks too. Everybody at home loves it. It really sooth and give little relief but more than chilled water with lemon in it, give me relief from this hot and freaky summer. I wish mercury goes down soon. And we get relief out of this hot and bursty summer season.

It all depends on how hot it will be. I try to stay cool by staying inside the house. And I'll usually go outside in the evening time. But I usually eat some type of cool treat at once a day during the summer. I need to start buying my cool treats now.

I love to eat ice-creams. I am capable of eating 1.5lt of ice-cream. But i am a little bit of diet conscious, so i cant take that much amount of ice-cream at a time. But in summer i forget about diet and i take around 5 or six scoops of ice-cream everyday. It increased my weight but i don't care in the summer.

My friend i love to eat ice-creams and it is my weakness. I summer i can easily eat 1Kg family pack. Now you must be thinking i will have cold after eating that huge amount, but i want to say that i never ever had cold after eating ice cream. I love to eat ice cream. So it is around 1Kg for cool me out....

For myself, I like one ice cream daily. It gives me satisfaction from taste and it also gives me coolness. It is also way of making my diet as balance.

I am a great lover of ice creams and I eagerly wait for summers so that I can have a lot of them per day. But they are not so good for health and thus I need to control myself. I generally try to get a butter-scotch cone every other day and quench my thirst for them. And when I am at home I usually get a whole brick of good flavor and then enjoy it with my whole family. ice creams are really cool....
