Ice cream… you scream...

We all scream for Ice Cream

Who does not love Ice cream? Now imagine having a designated month every year when even your
mother doesn’t mind buying you Ice cream. This is the case in USA where July is observed as
National Ice cream month, this amazing tradition was started by the then US President Ronald
Raegan in 1984 who believed that it is a nourishing and wholesome treat. Third Sunday of this
month is specifically celebrated as National Ice cream Day—now isn’t that fun?

Dr. Alan Hirsch who is the founder of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation also
believes that your choice of Ice cream flavor tells a lot about your personality. Chocolate Lovers her
says are charming, lively and tad dramatic whereas strawberry lovers are introverts, interesting, isn’t
it?

So enjoy your Ice cream, but make sure it is in limits and with your mother’s permission.

own food and not only that but the waste produced by these birds destroy our buildings and
monuments. This waste also has harmful bacteria like E.coli which can make us sick if it

twice.
