Toast to ice cream

On World Ice Cream Day today, treat your loved ones to unusual flavours.

Former US president Ronald Reagan designated July as the World Ice Cream Month in the 1984 and appointed the third Sunday of July as World Ice Cream Day, which kick-started the celebration of the frozen dessert on this day. Start the day with some research: did you know LeMars, in Iowa, USA, is the ice cream capital of the world? It even has a museum on the history of ice cream.
