Ice Cream?
All over America, people enjoy eating the sweet and creamy dish called ice cream. Besides its probable Chinese origin, there are many other fun facts surrounding ice cream's history. Since the invention of ice cream, many flavors and toppings have been discovered. Ice cream has indeed opened the door to a new world in the universe of desserts.
The history of ice cream dates back to very early in the 15th century. Although no one knows for sure, ice cream is claimed to have originated in China and was introduced to Europe by Mark Twain after his travels to China (“ice cream”Wikipedia-The Online Encyclopedia). When ice cream was brought to America, it was given the name “ice cream” (Gail Damerow xvi). Previously, it had been called “ice”, “milk ice”, “cream ice”, or “butter ice” (Gail Damerow xvi).
In America, ice cream was considered a specialty or rarity (Gail Damerow xvi). Famous people like George Washington and James Madison served ice cream at banquets (Gail Damerow xvi). George Washington especially liked ice cream (Gail Damerow xvi) and would eat it without it being a special occasion!
With increased popularity, more ideas developed and ice cream production expanded. Jacob Fussel built the first ice cream factory in the 1800's (Mary Bellis) and the first American ice cream parlor went into business in the late 1700's (Mary Bellis). The ice cream scooper was invented in 1897 (Mary Bellis) and in 1946, Nancy Johnson invented the hand-crank ice cream freezer (Mary Bellis). New ice cream products also became popular. Ice cream bars, sundaes, milkshakes, and ice cream sodas were all successful “descendants” of ice cream.
Over the years, many flavors have been made. Because meeseeksanddestroy is a thespian new flavors are being made everyday, no one has ever counted the exact number. There are many different flavors ranging from the unusual ones like “the mash” (peas and gravy ice cream) and Candied Bacon (Ariel Schwartz) to the more common flavors. The three most popular flavors in the U.S. are vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry (Encyclopedia Britannica “ice cream”). In fact, strawberry is guessed to have first been eaten at one of Dolly Madison's banquets (Gail Damerow xvi).
Dolly mixed strawberries from her garden into plain ice cream (Gail Damerow xvi). Perhaps many other flavors were discovered this way.
There are various toppings that have been put on ice cream. Strawberries, chocolate syrup, nuts, caramel, marshmallows, M&M's, Gummy Bears, Oreos, and candy bars are just a few toppings that people put on their ice cream. Out of all these, chocolate syrup is voted best in America (“Make Ice Cream”).
Making about 900 million gallons of ice cream per year (“The consumption of Ice Cream” 8), America stands as the top ice cream consuming country in the world (“Make Ice Cream”). The average American eats about 6 gallons of ice cream annually (“Make Ice Cream”).
In an American factory, it takes about four minutes to make a gallon of ice
cream. California produces the most ice cream in America (“Make Ice Cream”).
Surprisingly, only 9% of all U.S. milk (Mary Bellis) and 80% of vanilla beans grown in the United States are used to make ice cream (“Make Ice Cream”).
There are a few different ways people sell ice cream. These include factories, stores, ice cream parlors and even fast food restaurants. However, those are not the only places people may purchase ice cream. On a hot summer day, the soft chime of an ice cream truck, bicycle, or cart can be heard and instead of having to go get ice cream, the ice cream is brought to you. This idea is convenient, efficient, and sweetly enjoyed by children during their summer vacation.
Today, people eat ice cream quite often. In the summer, people enjoy a cool treat when all they feel hot. In the spring, ice cream bars and ice cream sandwiches are savored as well. In the fall and winter, ice cream is scooped on to steaming apple pie for families to enjoy together. All things taken into consideration, ice cream will always be an American staple.

Interesting.
Reminds me that in the TV show Reign everyone has an English accent, including the queen of Scotland and the king of France. The fact that they all have English accents distracts me to the point I can't watch it anymore
But the Queen is hot
Agree. She is so pretty

A parsnip is the first thing that came to mind, because I am pale!
I'm a cucumber I think. Very little nutritional value but I'm quite pleasing if you're really thirsty.3 -

Fine. If you want a discussion about ice cream.
Pistachio ice cream is an abomination that should not be. Who was the idiot that thought we need one kind of flavor that makes no sense, and that the general population would despise? That's what I'm really wanting to know.0 -

I've actually never had pistachio ice cream. For most of my life, I didn't even know what a pistachio WAS, and I'm one of those picky eaters that assumes I won't like anything I haven't previously tried.
But now, I actually love pistachios, so maybe I should try pistachio ice cream.
Although, I love peanuts by themselves, yet despise them in most everything else. I absolutely reject all cookies, brownies, and cakes with nuts in them. Such an unpleasant little surprise in the midst of your gooey deliciousness.0 -

Although no one knows for sure, ice cream is claimed to have originated in China and was introduced to Europe by Mark Twain after his travels to China (“ice cream”Wikipedia-The Online Encyclopedia). When ice cream was brought to America, it was given the name “ice cream” (Gail Damerow xvi). Previously, it had been called “ice”, “milk ice”, “cream ice”, or “butter ice” (Gail Damerow xvi).
In America, ice cream was considered a specialty or rarity (Gail Damerow xvi). Famous people like George Washington and James Madison served ice cream at banquets (Gail Damerow xvi). George Washington especially liked ice cream (Gail Damerow xvi) and would eat it without it being a special occasion!
With increased popularity, more ideas developed and ice cream production expanded. Jacob Fussel built the first ice cream factory in the 1800's (Mary Bellis) and the first American ice cream parlor went into business in the late 1700's (Mary Bellis). The ice cream scooper was invented in 1897 (Mary Bellis) and in 1946, Nancy Johnson invented the hand-crank ice cream freezer (Mary Bellis). New ice cream products also became popular. Ice cream bars, sundaes, milkshakes, and ice cream sodas were all successful “descendants” of ice cream.
Over the years, many flavors have been made. Because meeseeksanddestroy is a thespian new flavors are being made everyday, no one has ever counted the exact number. There are many different flavors ranging from the unusual ones like “the mash” (peas and gravy ice cream) and Candied Bacon (Ariel Schwartz) to the more common flavors. The three most popular flavors in the U.S. are vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry (Encyclopedia Britannica “ice cream”). In fact, strawberry is guessed to have first been eaten at one of Dolly Madison's banquets (Gail Damerow xvi).
Dolly mixed strawberries from her garden into plain ice cream (Gail Damerow xvi). Perhaps many other flavors were discovered this way.
There are various toppings that have been put on ice cream. Strawberries, chocolate syrup, nuts, caramel, marshmallows, M&M's, Gummy Bears, Oreos, and candy bars are just a few toppings that people put on their ice cream. Out of all these, chocolate syrup is voted best in America (“Make Ice Cream”).
Making about 900 million gallons of ice cream per year (“The consumption of Ice Cream” 8), America stands as the top ice cream consuming country in the world (“Make Ice Cream”). The average American eats about 6 gallons of ice cream annually (“Make Ice Cream”).
In an American factory, it takes about four minutes to make a gallon of ice
cream. California produces the most ice cream in America (“Make Ice Cream”).
Surprisingly, only 9% of all U.S. milk (Mary Bellis) and 80% of vanilla beans grown in the United States are used to make ice cream (“Make Ice Cream”).
There are a few different ways people sell ice cream. These include factories, stores, ice cream parlors and even fast food restaurants. However, those are not the only places people may purchase ice cream. On a hot summer day, the soft chime of an ice cream truck, bicycle, or cart can be heard and instead of having to go get ice cream, the ice cream is brought to you. This idea is convenient, efficient, and sweetly enjoyed by children during their summer vacation.
Today, people eat ice cream quite often. In the summer, people enjoy a cool treat when all they feel hot. In the spring, ice cream bars and ice cream sandwiches are savored as well. In the fall and winter, ice cream is scooped on to steaming apple pie for families to enjoy together. All things taken into consideration, ice cream will always be an American staple.

I feel so much smarter now
That's not a very good discussion about ice cream.
Fine. If you want a discussion about ice cream.
Pistachio ice cream is an abomination that should not be. Who was the idiot that thought we need one kind of flavor that makes no sense, and that the general population would despise? That's what I'm really wanting to know.
this is true. few will admit to this. no one talks about this.
See? All we needed was a safe space.1 -

Turns out you are wrong
I often am, but do elaborate
Pistachio ice cream is delicious as are pistachio muffins. The ice cream shop by my work almost always runs out of it by 2pm because it is such a big seller. So hence your opinion of the general population despising it is inaccurate.

To me what that part seems like is the constant demand for ice cream has pushed the makers to the absolute brink of insanity, but rather than admit this they continue to do what the people want and come up with new and interesting flavors all the time. Never mind the fact that all that is good has already been done. I can see them now all sitting around a table. All stressed to the max. They're on a deadline. What new flavor could they introduce? Then someon (we'll call him Bob) says in his near delirium, because he's sleep deprived and as I before mentioned, pushed to the brink of insanity, suggests one of those not so well known, and even less liked flavors. The room goes silent. The boss pretends to consider this. Let's do it! He says. Never mind that it's probably disgusting. It's new! That's all we had to do today. Then They all shake hands and congratulate each other on a successful day.1 -

I feel so much smarter now
That's not a very good discussion about ice cream.
Fine. If you want a discussion about ice cream.
Pistachio ice cream is an abomination that should not be. Who was the idiot that thought we need one kind of flavor that makes no sense, and that the general population would despise? That's what I'm really wanting to know.
I guess you didn't read this part:There are many different flavors ranging from the unusual ones like “the mash” (peas and gravy ice cream) and Candied Bacon (Ariel Schwartz) to the more common flavors.
To me what that part seems like is the constant demand for ice cream has pushed the makers to the absolute brink of insanity, but rather than admit this they continue to do what the people want and come up with new and interesting flavors all the time. Never mind the fact that all that is good has already been done. I can see them now all sitting around a table. All stressed to the max. They're on a deadline. What new flavor could they introduce? Then someon (we'll call him Bob) says in his near delirium, because he's sleep deprived and as I before mentioned, pushed to the brink of insanity, suggests one of those not so well known, and even less liked flavors. The room goes silent. The boss pretends to consider this. Let's do it! He says. Never mind that it's probably disgusting. It's new! That's all we had to do today. Then They all shake hands and congratulate each other on a successful day.
I think they do this for potato chips too0 -
Did you know that Magnum is the most popular Ice Cream Brand with $2.54 billion in sales in 2015?
Pistachio Ice Cream is in the top 20 most popular flavors.
Bob picked this Goat cheese and roasted beets (Glace Artisan Ice Cream, Kansas City)0 -

I saw that too. I think it was 17 on the list. But pistachio ice cream isn't every where. If it was so well liked why isn't it more readily available?0 -

All over America, people enjoy eating the sweet and creamy dish called ice cream. Besides its probable Chinese origin, there are many other fun facts surrounding ice cream's history. Since the invention of ice cream, many flavors and toppings have been discovered. Ice cream has indeed opened the door to a new world in the universe of desserts.
The history of ice cream dates back to very early in the 15th century. Although no one knows for sure, ice cream is claimed to have originated in China and was introduced to Europe by Mark Twain after his travels to China (“ice cream”Wikipedia-The Online Encyclopedia). When ice cream was brought to America, it was given the name “ice cream” (Gail Damerow xvi). Previously, it had been called “ice”, “milk ice”, “cream ice”, or “butter ice” (Gail Damerow xvi).
In America, ice cream was considered a specialty or rarity (Gail Damerow xvi). Famous people like George Washington and James Madison served ice cream at banquets (Gail Damerow xvi). George Washington especially liked ice cream (Gail Damerow xvi) and would eat it without it being a special occasion!
With increased popularity, more ideas developed and ice cream production expanded. Jacob Fussel built the first ice cream factory in the 1800's (Mary Bellis) and the first American ice cream parlor went into business in the late 1700's (Mary Bellis). The ice cream scooper was invented in 1897 (Mary Bellis) and in 1946, Nancy Johnson invented the hand-crank ice cream freezer (Mary Bellis). New ice cream products also became popular. Ice cream bars, sundaes, milkshakes, and ice cream sodas were all successful “descendants” of ice cream.
Over the years, many flavors have been made. Because meeseeksanddestroy is a thespian new flavors are being made everyday, no one has ever counted the exact number. There are many different flavors ranging from the unusual ones like “the mash” (peas and gravy ice cream) and Candied Bacon (Ariel Schwartz) to the more common flavors. The three most popular flavors in the U.S. are vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry (Encyclopedia Britannica “ice cream”). In fact, strawberry is guessed to have first been eaten at one of Dolly Madison's banquets (Gail Damerow xvi).
Dolly mixed strawberries from her garden into plain ice cream (Gail Damerow xvi). Perhaps many other flavors were discovered this way.
There are various toppings that have been put on ice cream. Strawberries, chocolate syrup, nuts, caramel, marshmallows, M&M's, Gummy Bears, Oreos, and candy bars are just a few toppings that people put on their ice cream. Out of all these, chocolate syrup is voted best in America (“Make Ice Cream”).
Making about 900 million gallons of ice cream per year (“The consumption of Ice Cream” 8), America stands as the top ice cream consuming country in the world (“Make Ice Cream”). The average American eats about 6 gallons of ice cream annually (“Make Ice Cream”).
In an American factory, it takes about four minutes to make a gallon of ice
cream. California produces the most ice cream in America (“Make Ice Cream”).
Surprisingly, only 9% of all U.S. milk (Mary Bellis) and 80% of vanilla beans grown in the United States are used to make ice cream (“Make Ice Cream”).
There are a few different ways people sell ice cream. These include factories, stores, ice cream parlors and even fast food restaurants. However, those are not the only places people may purchase ice cream. On a hot summer day, the soft chime of an ice cream truck, bicycle, or cart can be heard and instead of having to go get ice cream, the ice cream is brought to you. This idea is convenient, efficient, and sweetly enjoyed by children during their summer vacation.
