National Ice Cream Soda Day

This event is called National Ice Cream Soda Day and takes place on June 20. Every American family has a chance to boast of a unique, inimitable recipe for preparing and presenting this summer treat.

History

Like many of the greatest inventions, this drink appeared by chance. Robert Green participated in a fair selling carbonated drinks. Suddenly, the ice ran out. It was unacceptable to serve the drinks warm. The merchant decided to add a portion of ice cream to each glass and inadvertently invented a national treasure.

Interesting Facts

An alternative version of the origin of ice cream soda credits a pastry chef named Fred Sanders. He was in charge of sales at a candy store. When customers demanded a sweet drink, the seller added cream for a characteristic cloying taste. When the dairy product ran out, ice cream was used.

  1. There are a variety of flavors and additives. Americans like to decorate the drink with fresh berries and fruits (peaches).
  2. Ice cream was invented in the Middle Ages in Italy.
  3. Baskin-Robbins is famous for their wide selection.

Ice and fruit were combined 5,000 years ago. The dessert equivalent to modern sorbet evolved from an ancient treat with a centuries-old history.

How to Take Part

Visit an establishment that serves cream soda and try new varieties. Expand your palette of sensations. Create a holiday for children, let them choose their favorite drink, and don’t refuse if they ask for more on a hot day at the height of summer.
