According to the International Dairy Foods Association, the origins of ice cream date back to the second century B.C., when several prominent historical figures such as Alexander the Great, King Soloman and Nero Claudius Caesar enjoyed consuming iced beverages and snow. As the centuries passed, the snow and ice was refined into cream ice and eventually, in 1777, ice cream was first advertised in New York. However, ice cream was a rare delicacy for the elite until 1800s when ice houses were built. Since then, it has become a staple dessert and treat for many of us.

Finally, did you ever yell out or sing "I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream", which is actually a song, first published in 1927, with words and music by Howard Johnson, Billy Moll, and Robert A. King? After initial success as a late 1920s novelty song, the tune became a traditional jazz standard, while the lyrics refrain "I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream" has remained a part of popular culture even without the rest of the song. The actual title is "Ice Cream (I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Ice Cream". Were you aware of this?
