Ice Cream Manis


I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream--especially during a hot summer day.

Here's the scoop: Americans consume almost 6 gallons of ice cream per person each year. Vanilla and chocolate reign as the most popular flavors, according to the International Ice Cream Association. Butter pecan, strawberry and neapolitan round out the top five.

July marks National Ice Cream Month. In honor of this special observance, we've created several sweet treats for your tips with our favorite flavors and polishes.
