National Ice Cream Day

On National Ice Cream Day, which takes place on December 13, you probably won’t hear the ice cream truck, with its delightful tune, roll through your neighborhood. (There’s another National Ice Cream Day in July for that.) Your favorite ice cream shop may even be closed for the season! But it’s still a perfectly good reason to get a pint or three (who’s counting) of the good stuff to share with your friends and family.

National Ice Cream Day timeline

500 BC

Invention of Ice Cream

People of the Persian Empire started making ice cream. by pouring concentrate of grape juice over snow.

1846

Ice Cream Maker Patented

Nancy Johnson invents and patents the first hand-cranked ice cream maker.

1978

Ben & Jerry's

Ben took a $5 course on ice-cream making and opened the first Ben & Jerry's in a converted Burlington gas station.

2001

Dairy Dream

8.9% of the milk produced in the U.S. was used to make frozen dairy products.

National Ice Cream Day Activities

Try a new flavor: There are hundreds of flavors of ice cream beyond just chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. If you’re feeling zesty, find a parlor that offers lemon meringue, or even horseradish ice cream. Or, if seafood is more your thing, find one of the joints on the east coast that serve up lobster ice cream. If you don’t like it, at least you can say you tried.

Go old school: Before the commercial success of ice cream in America in the 1800s, ice cream was typically reserved as a special summertime treat. But now, thanks to simple and cheap at-home devices, you can make whatever flavor you want. All you need is eggs, milk, cream, sugar, and the flavorings of your choice. It may take longer than a quick trip to the grocery store, but it’s a fun way to enjoy this cold confection.

Volunteer in your community: Serving ice cream is a tried and true way to bring a community together. This may be at the ice cream parlor in a local assisted living center, or perhaps at a free ice cream giveaway at the park, funded by donations. However you do it, the community will be brought closer together by this longtime summer food favorite.

Why We Love National Ice Cream Day

It makes us happy: Now this may seem a bit too obvious, but ice cream makes us happy. If you need proof, just ask some of the neuroscientists over at the University of Sussex in England. In one study, the scientists found that vanilla ice cream activates a part of the brain called the orbitofrontal cortex. In simpler terms, when we eat ice cream, the pleasure center of our brain lights up. This is great news. Thanks science.

It’s social: Whether we’re scrambling down the street chasing the ice cream truck or meeting up with friends at the local dairy, ice cream is more than just a cool treat — it’s a social outing. You can’t beat a shared banana split. Need a place where three generations of a family can all find something they want? An ice cream parlor’s the place to be.

There are endless varieties: Almost as soon as ice cream was sold in America, people started adding new flavors and experimenting with the creation process. Now, more than 200 years later, it’s hard to imagine a flavor of ice cream that’s yet to be invented. Bacon, garlic, wasabi, and fish egg ice cream flavors are all out there at the moment, just to name a few.

December 13, 2019 (Ice Cream Day):

(Davis, in Scorpi's body, walks up to Chao, who's eating some ice cream that is currently on sale in the studio, since the heater is broken)

Davis: So, how are you holding up?

Chao: About the same as the last time something like this happened. You haven't gotten any ice cream yet.

Davis: Well, I tried to, but I couldn't figure out how to hold it properly.

Chao: I mean, you could've asked someone for help?

Davis: Chao, who do you think I am? A toddler?

Chao: I mean, Scorpi does look like-

Davis: That's not what I meant!

Chao: No, I'm pretty sure it is.

(TRANSITION)

(scene cuts to Wizwuz at the ice cream stand)

Wizwuz: Hmmmm, you have any purple ice cream?

Gobba (looking slightly frustrated): Let me guess, you wanna know if I "got any grapes"?

Wizwuz: ... No?

Gobba: Well, it's the only purple ice cream I've got, so take it or get out.

Wizwuz: Uh.... I'll take... 2 scoops, I guess...

(TRANSITION)

Kid: We now return to more of Olive the Other Reindeer, right here on Fridays.

================================================

(hey guys, IRL Davis here)

(this week, the Mixels celebrated Ice Cream Day, in which we pretended that the heater was broken (similar to August 5, 2005 when the AC was broken) and made an ice cream stand for the evening)

(also, I revealed this week that in 2020, we would have a "new" intro (it was actually rather similar to another Fridays intro, but more on that in a later post))

(schedule-wise, this was the first of 2 weeks where Fridays aired Christmas specials)

(we also aired episode 15 of BFB as a "see-it first premiere" (however, the ending stinger was absent))

(here was the lineup for that week...)

7:00 PM - Ed, Edd n Eddy Future Christmas (Edited Version) (PREMIERE) (also known as the actually good version; more on that when we get to 12/22/2017)

8:00 PM - Mixels Watch (NEW)

8:30 PM - Codename: Kids Next Door: Operation: N.A.U.G.H.T.Y.

9:00 PM - Olive the Other Reindeer

10:00 PM - Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends: A Lost Claus

10:30 PM - Stick Friends (NEW)

11:00 PM - PBS Kids GO!: Whisper in the Frost

11:12 PM - Battle For BFDI (NEW)

11:30 PM - Monster Buster Club (NEW)

(yeah, a few people were upset about the new MBC airing at 11:30 PM; blame that on me...)

(also, stay tuned for another segment from this Fridays show tomorrow)
