that rumor has it that President George Washington really liked ice cream -- so much in fact that he had a $200 ice cream bill one summer? (Can you blame him?!)
that President James Madison wanted to impress his guests so much at his inaugural ball that he had ice cream served to his them? The milk used to make the ice cream came from his very own cows.
that Mussolini banned ice cream throughout his country? Even though Italy is the birthplace of this treat, he thought the confection was "too American."
that Ronald Reagan made July National Ice Cream Month? He declared it an official US holiday in 1984.
that Margaret Thatcher, the U.K.'s Prime Minister, helped create soft-serve ice cream? Before entering politics, she was part of a team of chemists who was involved with this process.
