Let’s Hear it For Ice Cream!
Vacuum Cleaners?
“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.”
There is perhaps more ice cream eaten in July than any other
month. Here are some interesting facts to get you in the mood.
Vanilla is the most popular flavor by far, accounting for between 20 to
30 percent of yearly sales worldwide. Chocolate comes in a distant
second, with about 10 percent annually. The rest of the top 5 is butter
pecan, strawberry and mint chocolate chip.
One of the major ingredients in ice cream is air. Without
it, the stuff would be as hard as a rock.
Among the most unusual flavors of ice cream ever
manufactured are avocado, garlic, azuki bean, jalapeno
and pumpkin.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the biggest ice
cream sundae in the world was made in Alberta Canada in 1988,
weighing in at nearly 55,000 pounds. The same year, a baking
company and a sheet-metal firm in Dubuque Iowa teamed up to
produce the world’s largest ice cream sandwich, which tipped the
scales at nearly 2,500 pounds. And in 1999, Baskin Robbins created
an ice cream cake at a beach hotel in the United Arab Emirates that
weighed just under 9,000 pounds.

Around the turn of the century,
women used vacuum cleaners to
dry their hair! Early vacuum
cleaners sucked air in through the
front and blew it out the back, so
the ladies would attach the vacuum
hose to the rear of the machine and
aim it at their wet heads. The first
true hair dryer was developed in
the early 1920s in Germany. Made
of nickel or chrome-plated steel
with a wooden handle, it was large,
heavy, and unwieldy.
