🍨 Celebrate America's Love for Ice Cream with Every Scoop

Its not July yet but it will be here before you know it!

As July brings peak summer temperatures, Americans across the country celebrate National Ice Cream Month, indulging in their favorite frozen treat to cool off and enjoy time with friends and family. According to the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA), the average American consumes about 20 pounds of ice cream each year, equating to roughly 4 gallons.

Ice cream holds a significant place in American culture, with many companies being family-owned and operating for over 50 years. This beloved dessert also plays a vital role in the U.S. economy. The ice cream industry contributes more than $13 billion directly to the national economy and supports nearly 29,000 direct jobs, generating $1.8 billion in direct wages. In 2021 alone, U.S. ice cream makers produced over 1.3 billion gallons of ice cream.

National Ice Cream Month was established in 1984 when President Ronald Reagan designated July as the month to celebrate ice cream, with the third Sunday of July marked as National Ice Cream Day. This tradition encourages Americans to enjoy and recognize the impact of ice cream on communities and the economy.
