National Ice Cream Day


Today is National Ice Cream Day in the USA. In America, more ice cream is consumed per head than any other country in the world. This is reflected in other ways too, not least by the fact that the USA has its own National Ice Cream Month.

Since 1984, when President Reagan proclaimed that National Ice Cream Month be celebrated annually, every July has been a focus for greater attention to ice cream with the 3rd Sunday of that month each year being National Ice Cream Day.

Just so you now, no one in the US has ever heard of National Ice Cream Day. Presidents name special days all the time, mostly for the press, and they are forgotten the next day.
