“I SCREAM, You SCREAM, we all SCREAM for ICE CREAM!” In 1984, President Ronald Reagan declared July National Ice Cream Month, and 30 years later the frosty treat is still one of America’s favorite ways to celebrate summertime. Nothing takes me back to my childhood like a good ol’-fashioned banana split or two cold scoops of vanilla ice cream drizzled with chocolate syrup and sprinkles. When I think of the frozen dessert, I immediately envision a middle school baseball team huddled together after a game with dirt-stained uniforms, licking ice cream cones and wiping the drizzle from their chins.
