National Ice Cream Day

four bowls of ice cream


Happy national ice cream day! Any reason to party is a good reason to party, they say. And National Ice Cream does really does inspire a party. Some have argued the holiday should be extended out to include the entire month of July. (Spoiler alert, this request comes from the International Dairy Foods Association.)


But there is no denying that Americans love ice cream. In fact, we consume 1.4 billion gallons of the stuff each year. Any anyway, I love made-up holidays that center around doing tremendously unhealthy things. When is national “food-from-aerosol-cans day”? Because I will need to stock up on Readi Whip. And Cheez Whiz. And request the next day off work. 


So I support you, National Ice Cream Day! And here are some more possible causes for celebration: 


If We Celebrate National Ice Cream Day, Let’s Consider….

 
 
1) “I-gave-up-smoking-ten-years-ago-but…sometimes-I-wonder” day.
 
2) “Bacon” day. Portland, Oregon–you guys love bacon. Get on this. 
 
3) “I-love-drinking-cocktails” day. Work holiday, obviously.
 
4) “Reality-television-marathon” day. (Note: this may already exist. I believe some people call it “Sunday”)
 
5) “Yard-games” day. No yard? 3 words: extreme urban bocce.
 
But seriously. Ice cream is awesome. Enjoy.
