National Creamsicle Day

A Creamsicle is a frozen treat that typically consists of a vanilla ice cream center with a flavored, frozen fruit outer layer. The most common flavors for the outer layer are orange and raspberry, but other flavors such as lime, grape, and blue raspberry are also available. Creamsicles are often served on a stick, similar to a popsicle, and are a popular treat during the summer months. They are typically sold in grocery stores, convenience stores, and ice cream shops. The origins of the Creamsicle can be traced back to the 1920s, when an ice cream truck driver in Ohio decided to dip vanilla ice cream into orange juice to create a new frozen treat. The idea caught on quickly, and the Creamsicle became a popular treat across the United States.
