As if summer couldn’t get any sweeter, July is National Ice Cream Month! Did you know the average American eats more than 23 pounds of ice cream each year? With that statistic, you could argue every month is Ice Cream Month! July was officially established as National Ice Cream Month in 1984 by President Ronald Reagan[1].
