Ice Cream Factoids

• A general statistic states that Scandinavians eat a lot of ice cream, taking first place with around 20 litres per year, per person. The second place is taken by the Americans, avid ice cream eaters as well.
• Most surveys on the topic are showing that women will usually be less likely to order ice cream as a dessert than men.
• During the late 19th century, a town called Evanston published a law to prohibit the sale of ice cream with flavoured soda, which was the basis of creating the Ice Cream Sundaes. Sellers started to take advantage of a loophole and just serve the ice cream with syrup instead, naming it an “Ice Cream Sunday”. When religious leaders got upset over the usage of the word “Sunday”, the same sellers replaced the ‘y’ with ‘e’, which gave it the final name.
• Most ice cream contains more milk protein weight for weight than is present in milk itself
• Nowadays ice creams are becoming more and more healthy, having a very low fat content, while incorporating vitamins, minerals and calcium.
• Even though there are thousands of different ice cream companies all over the world, most people wouldn’t be able to name more than a handful. Even though there are literally thousands of different flavours, a recent study shows that there are a lot of people that only know and have tasted vanilla ice cream.
• As competition is harder and harder in the niche, many ice cream brands will go above and beyond to create new flavours, which leads to the invention of some really weird flavours, like Chilli, Black Pepper, Smoked Bacon and Egg, or even the Horse Meat flavour or the Green Tea one.
• To better preserve the ice cream from an opened container, you can place pieces of greaseproof paper on top of the ice cream and then replace the lid. This will keep air from getting to it.
• If when buying ice cream you notice any ice crystals, then it’s safe to assume that it has been badly kept, allowing it to thaw. Be sure to check this, and if you notice any ice crystals, to just replace the container with one that looks fresher.
