Mr. Softee Truck Speakers

The speakers playing Mr. Softee's music amplify at a volume that can be heard for a distance of 4 blocks. It is the ideal volume and will not disturb those standing close to the truck.

You are only allowed to eat ice cream once a day

Fortunately, the Jasper family rule fails to mention how many times you can eat Italian ices, gelato, frozen yogurt or sherbet...Phew.

Ice Cream In Other Languages

Ice cream in Italian (gelato), Spanish (helado) and Hebrew (glida) all come from the same root, Glatt which means iced milk in Latin.

Gelato has a higher ratio of egg yolk to milk fat than standard ice cream.

James Madison was the first president to serve ice cream in the White House. Oddly enough, George Washington was the first president to eat ice cream, he just didn't serve it at a state function. He found ice cream childish.
