Soft serve or fro-yo? We’ve got you covered this National Ice Cream Day. As July 18, 2021, rolls around, ice cream producers and businesses around the country have geared up to offer free cones and cups of their favorite flavors to help patrons cool off during the mid-summer heat. To make your Sunday just a little more carefree, Snopes has put together a list of nationwide companies offering free treats to celebrate the holiday.
But first, a quick history lesson. In 1984, former President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month and iced into history the third Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day, according to the International Dairy Foods Association.
“Ice cream is a nutritious and wholesome food, enjoyed by over 90% of the people in the United States,” read the proclamation. “It enjoys a reputation as the perfect dessert and snack food.”
To celebrate, publications like Food Network, USA Today, and LifeHacker dug deep to bring you the best deals around. (We fact-checked them and it’s all true.)
