July is National Ice Cream Month...see ya pact

It's national ice cream month and last night I broke my no sweets pact....with Ben and Jerry's Half Baked Ice Cream and it was so worth it.

Here's a post I did for UA on July 6th in reference to National Ice Cream Month!

July 6, 2011 National Ice Cream Month

July is National Ice Cream Month, a more-than-appropriate name for the first full month of summer. When you’re hot, you want to be cold, and there’s no better way to cool down in the hot sun than with some ice cream and glass of ice-cold water or milk (because you know that for some reason after you finish your ice cream you will be so incredibly thirsty…it happens every time). Plus, July is perfect for celebrating National Ice Cream Month because it seems like almost everywhere on television, print ads, our memories…summer is coupled with an image of basking in the sun while scrambling to eat a double-scoop ice cream cone before the mountain of ice cream begins to melt down your hand and drip on your bare toes. (Summer flip flop tans? Got em. And for some reason it’s so hard to get rid of it.)
At UA, we took it upon ourselves to ask around the office and find out what everyone’s favorite ice cream is. After asking some of our fellow employees/ice cream fanatics, we realized there are too many good flavors out there to get a general consensus. Here are a handful (by handful I mean list) of some favorites:

■Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey

■Häagen-Dazs Pineapple Coconut

■Dark Chocolate

■Dulce de Leche

■Mint Chocolate Chip

■Cake Batter

■Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

■Cookies and Cream

We then asked “How would you describe the perfect ice cream sundae?” And here’s what some of us said:
■Anything that has brownies mixed in it…

■Classic Vanilla with Sprinkles or Fruit on top

■Banana split with three different kinds of ice cream, hot fudge and a cherry on top

What’s your favorite ice cream flavor? Toppings? Are you the store-bought kind of person or the homemade type? (Me? Homemade strawberry ice cream—extra the strawberry chunks—please!)

Of course, we have to tie this post back into scrubs, so without further ado I leave you with this additional thought: Although lacking in tangible taste, we do have a huge selection of summer scrubs to fit your fashion tastes! Pick your flavor and order today .
