Q of the Day: How Do You Like to Enjoy Your Ice Cream?

Tweet

With the official end of summer and after watching people line up for ice cream at their favorite shops it got me to reminiscing about ice cream. If you are old enough, you might remember that familiar noise from the ice cream vendor's truck, and the neighborhood kids running (me too) to buy those frozen treats to eat. Instead of the chimes or bell that rang out in my day, today's call is a big "HELLO" blaring from the vehicle's speakers. A favorite ice cream of mine was a toasted almond bar which came on a popsicle stick. ***Which brings me to my discussion question... when you order ice cream what kind is your favorite and how do you like it served? There are many ways ice cream can be served, either on a stick (as I mentioned,) as a sundae, in a cone, or large milk shake cup. Two of my favorites at the ice cream parlour are the Waffle cone, I go with vanilla ice cream dipped in sprinkles, or a Hot fudge (sometimes Butterscotch) sundae. It always amazes me how long the lines are at those ice cream places when I drive by them. It seems inflation has not affected the enthusiasm or pocketbooks of people when it comes to ice cream. And I'm not just talking enthusiastic kids, the adults seem to enjoy ice cream just as much. I guess having a sweet treat to cool off on a hot summer day is a timeless tradition no matter what your age... -Do you know: What is the most popular ice cream flavor vanilla or chocolate?
