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. Thank You! Thanks to YOU the word is spreading!

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. - Thanks for All the Kind Words! “I cannot explain how happy I am!! My rugs look brand new!
