    1.FALSE. According to a survey done by Country Living magazine Scoop for scoop, America prefers vanilla. At nearly every major ice-cream company — Edy’s, Dreyer’s, Häagen-Dazs, Turkey Hill, Blue Bunny, Friendly’s, Carvel — this classic flavor sells more than any other.

    2.FALSE. The cow is big, but not 19 feet tall. According to the Turkey Hill site this dairy giant is 13 feet tall.

    3.FALSE. According to market research publisher Packaged Facts the U.S. market for ice cream and related frozen desserts increased 2% to reach $25 billion in 2009, despite the recession.

    4.TRUE. Sorbets never contain any type of dairy product. According to TLC Cooking, most brands of sherbet sold in supermarkets contain 1 to 2% milk fat or cream – but may also contain gelatin or egg whites.

    5.FALSE. According to the International Dairy Foods Association site President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day in 1984.

    6.TRUE. French vanilla contains egg yolks which give the flavor a richer consistency than traditional vanilla.

    7.TRUE. According to The History Channel site immigrants were served their first “taste of America” in the Ellis Island cafeteria —with strange new dishes like ice cream included on the menu.

    8.TRUE. According to the International Federation of Competitive Eating site, Patrick “Deep Dish” Bertoletti won the GoldenPalace.net World Ice Cream Eating Contest by consuming 1.75 gallons of ice cream in eight minutes in 2006.

    9.FALSE. There are TURKEY HILL themed golf balls, baseballs, and MINI footballs available, but no hockey pucks that I could find.

    10.FALSE. According to MakeIceCream.com the first ice cream parlor in America opened in New York City in 1776 – not Philadelphia.
