Today is Vanilla Ice Cream Day!
While it’s often jokingly called “plain,” vanilla is actually incredibly complex to produce. It comes from the pods of the vanilla orchid, which is one of the most labor-intensive agricultural products in the world.
Here are a few quick facts about the flavor:
-
It’s America’s Favorite: Despite all the wild modern flavors, vanilla remains the number one best-selling flavor in North America, accounting for 20-29% of overall ice cream sales.
-
Presidential Approval: Thomas Jefferson became a huge fan while serving as an ambassador to France. He wrote down a recipe for vanilla ice cream in the 1780s, which is one of the earliest recorded recipes for it in American history. You can even still try his original recipe at Mount Rushmore!
If you’re looking to celebrate around Sheboygan today, it might be the perfect excuse to grab a scoop—and maybe even a pup cup for your dog!
This Miami rapper scored the very first hip-hop track to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100! That was back in the summer of 1990! 36 years ago?!?! Now days he’s traded in his mic for a nail gun and hosts some DIY reality tv.
