DID YOU KNOW? ICE CREAM HELPS WIN THE WAR!

During World War I, ice cream became a source of American pride after a German officer was quoted as saying, “We do not fear that nation of ice cream eaters!”

Granted it’s pretty hard for someone to look intimidating while enjoying a drippy ice cream cone, but it’s good to know that ice cream became a rallying cry for a nation at war. That’s the kind of stuff they write patriotic songs about. “Oh say can you see, by the dawn’s early light, what so proudly we ate, at the ice cream shop last night!”

    are there more words to this song:
    “Oh say can you see, by the dawn’s early light, what so proudly we ate, at the ice cream shop last night!”
    and
    if so, how do I get them.
    I love singing silly songs.

    Sure there’s more lyrics… if you want there to be… ;)

    “…whose Moose Tracks and Orange Swirl
    we did thoroughly taste
    o’er our bowls we did bend
    and with spoons, we ate post haste.

    Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough!
    Down the hatch it did go!
    Save room for one more
    Pick a swirl – there are four!

    Oh say does that Giant Cow
    From Turkey Hill still stand
    O’er Duetto and Ice Cream?
    It’s the best in the land!”

    …that’s what I get for still being awake at one in the morning… ;)
