World Ice Cream Day

in #life6 years ago (edited)

So today is apparently World Ice Cream Day. I'm not sure if it's actually a real thing, or just a marketing ploy by our local ice cream shop.

I think it worked.

I love ice cream!!

Don't we all????

I have a friend who doesn't. In fact he doesn't like anything sweet.

Really? That's rare. I know some don't like a lot of sweet things, but none at all is pretty unique I'd reckon.

I got him to eat Skittles once. He said they were "ok, but not great". Something's wrong with him. Lol

Would you mind if I used one of the photos from this post for your entry in the Food Fight Friday contest post I am working on? I know you posted a day late but I make the rules and your in. Lol

If i knew i could get in a day late i would have posted. :p Oh well, I'll get back in on the food slingin' this week. ;)

Awesome we look forward to catching a mouthful of what your throwing. Head over and vote if you haven’t yet.

I have no objection to your using one of my photos here - and thanks. I don't mind whether my entry is included or not, I just like to get the tag out there for people to see.

Thank you. Well too bad your entered. Lol. Just posted everyone’s fff posts for voting.

Super cute, dear friend. She looks awfully Happy. What flavor is it. It looks crazy! Did you mean to post them sideways or did Steemit good it? If it's Steemit, you can probably fix it pretty easily. Just use any photo editor to crop them...just the littlest amount, and save them. Then post the cropped ones.

Thanks. The photo rotation is all Steemit. For some reason when I post and upload photos from my phone, it's a 50/50 bet as to whether it will be sideways or not

Did you happen to see what I said about cropping them. I wasn't sure if you did, because I added after I first commented.

I did, though when working from my mobile phone, it isn't really an easy option unfortunately. I might get some time later today at work - just don't tell the boss.

That seems to have worked

Sorry I some how missed your reply. ☺️ That's great! Looks a lot better.

Not a problem my friend, I certainly understand how easily that can happen. Thanks for the tip though

Late to the party, but yes, World Ice Cream Day is a thing, and in fact, it's celebrated on third Sunday of July every year dating back to 1984. So, it's been around longer than most.

Also, coming up, there's National Chocolate Milkshake day on September 12. If you preferred vanilla, you missed that milkshake day on June 20. :)

Any word on Strawberry Milkshake Day? Or do I need to campaign for one?

I looked. I didn't see any strawberry milkshake day. Vanilla chocolate and a coffee flavored. However, August 1 is apparently generic milkshake day, so I don't see any reason why you can't just declare it whatever you want to.

Also, I guess it's ice cream month all of July, so maybe your local ice cream shop will keep up the deals and promotions for the next two weeks.

I'm afraid I've been woefully lacking in ice cream eating myself. Need to pick up the pace. :)

Aww, she's adorable! That ice cream looks yummy. I have been on an ice cream kick lately, eating some almost every night. :p

Thankyou. She's certainly the apple of our eye. We were lucky enough to get a some 2 for 1 specials at the ice cream shop too. So we have a freezer that is now fairly well stocked.

Every day is ice cream day for kids (ask the little one for proof). Every day is ice cream day for many adults too.

You make a valid point @vicspics - even despite the very disturbing dog in that gif

I never heard of such a thing but why not .. there is a day for just about everything else.

I hadn't heard of it either....but if it's just a marketing ploy it was a good one.

I think maybe they are all a marketing ploy these days nut I know what you mean. I have honestly lost count of all the "official" days. Sometimes just keeping up with all the "regular" holidays can be a challenge for me.
At any rate looks like someone is enjoying it. She is adorable.

She certainly loves that her cousin works there
