I scream, you scream
- will somebody please give me some ICE CREAM! Did you know ice cream
was being eaten as early as the thirteenth century? Rumor has it the Emperor
Nero of Rome concocted this elementary version of ice cream by combining
honey, nectar and
fruit pulp. However, it was quite a while before the first ice cream parlor
opened in 1776. And now with so many brands, flavors and varieties just
choosing one is enough to give you a brain freeze! Everyone from King
Charles 1 of England, (who reportedly offered a cook a job for life if
he would make him ice cream) to President Clinton, (who was recently seen
on his birthday at Ben & Jerry's) seems to have a certain affection for
the frozen treat. Here's the scoop!
Baskin
Robbins: Everyone knows their famous motto, "31 Flavors." Opening
in 1946, Baskin Robbins has since developed over 950 flavors of ice cream.
And with these numbers, you should be sure to find something to tweak
your taste buds. Don't miss out on trying their designated flavor of the
month, Orange Cone Cyclone is what they currently recommend to keep your
mouth happy.
Ben
& Jerry's: Known for flavors such as Cherry Garcia®, Chocolate Chip
Cookie Dough, and Phish Food Ice Cream; Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream shops
have become a favorite across America as well as Internationally. Ben
& Jerry's entire menu totals over 50 great ice cream, frozen yogurt and
sorbet products. They even have kosher ice cream products available (indicated
by a "K") following the flavor name.
Blue
Bunny: Blue Bunny® received its name from a "Name that Ice Cream"
contest with the prize being $25 cash in 1935. Blue Bunny is proud of
the fact that "more ice cream is produced in LeMars, Iowa, by a single
company -- BLUE BUNNY® -- than in any other city in the world." Be sure
to check out Blue Bunny's pick of the week! They choose a favorite from
every variety of ice cream they offer - try them all.
Edy's:
Opened in 1928 by William Dreyer and Joseph Edy, Edy's ice cream has become
a familiar name throughout America. One interesting fact about Edy's is
that they are responsible for creating an American classic - Rocky Road.
Created during the depression, "Dreyer and Edy hoped the name would
give people something to smile about" according to John Harrison,
Edy's Grand Ice cream's "Official Taster." Edy's is also credited
with concocting peppermint flavored ice cream.
Blue
Bell: Established in 1920, Blue Bell is another solid contender in
the world of Ice Cream. Their slogan, "we eat all we can and we sell
the rest" is a familiar tune to most and they stand firm behind their
belief that Blue Bell "makes their ice cream as good as they can
- not how fast they can." They offer year round flavors as well as
seasonal ice cream flavors, which can only be made when the fruit is ready
to be harvested.
Haagen-Dazs:
Introduced 35 years ago, Haagen-Dazs claims to have introduced the world
to superpremium ice cream. They stand by the fact that their ice cream
"is real ice cream, made from real ingredients, lovingly combined."
If you have the urge to indulge yourself, try one of their great flavors
including: apple cream pie, chocolate chocolate fudge or creme caramel
pecan.
Marble
Slab Creamery: Known for their waffle cones available in flavors ranging
from Vanilla Cinnamon to Dark Chocolate, Marble Slab has gained wide popularity
throughout America. Their homemade superpremium ice creams are also delicious!
Their niche on the market is what they do with your ice cream after you
decide what flavor you want to eat. Your ice cream will be scooped onto
a frozen marble slab, where your choice of candy, fruit or nuts will be
blended to make a tasty frozen treat.
Some other interesting
facts about Ice Cream:
The first ice
cream cone was made on September 22, 1896 by Italo Marchiony.
Cookies 'N Cream
was not introduced until 1983, but became an overnight success and ranks
among the top five of best selling ice creams.
Superpremium and
premium ice cream represent about 53.8 percent of the total dollar sales
of ice cream.
The most popular
ice cream flavors continue to be vanilla, chocolate, fruit flavors and
nut flavors.
