SUNDAY ICE CREAM DEALS! National Ice Cream Day: A Sweet Celebration

Sunday, July 21st is a day dedicated to one of the world's most beloved treats: ice cream! Declared by President Ronald Reagan in 1984, National Ice Cream Day celebrates a dessert enjoyed by over 90% of the US population.

While the exact origins of ice cream are a bit hazy, it's believed that ancient civilizations enjoyed snow or ice flavored with fruit or honey. However, the creamy treat we know and love today didn't appear until the 17th century.
