It’s National Ice Cream Day! Here’s the Scoop on Where to Get It – NBC News

It’s National Ice Cream Day! Here’s the Scoop on Where to Get It by Harriet BaskasUnbeknownst to some, the third Sunday of July is National Ice Cream Day — a holiday declared by President Ronald Reagan back in 1984 to promote the economic well-being of the U.S. dairy industry.

It was a nod to the fact that the frozen treat is produced using nearly ten percent of U.S. dairy farmers’ milk supply.Reagan’s proclamation also called on the people of the United States to do their duty and pay tribute to ice-cream with “appropriate ceremonies and activities.” So who are we to argue?

We all scream for ice cream.

Here are some of the events and activities for people — and pets — taking place this year on Sunday.At Carvel Ice Cream franchisees around the country, customers who buy one cup or cone (of any size) will get one free on National Ice Cream Day. The soft-serve ice-cream company also has a promotion underway for buy one, get one free sundaes each Wednesday.

Uber will deliver locally-made ice cream to your door Friday

Uber is usually used to deliver people to and from places, but on Friday it’ll be providing Minneapolis, St. Paul and 399 other cities across the globe an arguably better service: Ice cream delivery. It works pretty much exactly the same as Uber’s typical services. You pull up the app and set your location – just like you normally would – but be sure to request “ICE CREAM.” You need to have the app though, you can sign up here. Then within minutes of submitting your request, delicious ice cream will be delivered to your curbside. You get four pops for $10. And Uber is keeping it local and serving up Jonny Pops to Minnesotans. The company is based out of the Twin Cities and is made with all-natural ingredients. The service runs Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. And in case you need a reminder, Uber’s got your back. You can set one by clicking here and entering your phone number. People can celebrate their ice cream deliveries with others around the world using #UberIceCream. Jonny Pops also donates a portion of all its proceeds to Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation – which helps treat substance addiction.
