Proclamation 5219—National Ice Cream Month and National Ice Cream Day, 1984
July 09, 1984
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Ice cream is a nutritious and wholesome food, enjoyed by over ninety percent of the people in the United States. It enjoys a reputation as the perfect dessert and snack food. Over eight hundred and eighty-seven million gallons of ice cream were consumed in the United States in 1983.
The ice cream industry generates approximately $3.5 billion in annual sales and provides jobs for thousands of citizens. Indeed, nearly ten percent of all the milk produced by the United States dairy farmers is used to produce ice cream, thereby contributing substantially to the economic well-being of the Nation's dairy industry.
The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 298, has designated July 1984 as "National Ice Cream Month," and July 15, 1984, as "National Ice Cream Day," and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of these events.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim July 1984 as National Ice Cream Month and July 15, 1984, as National Ice Cream Day, and I call upon the people of the United States to observe these events with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
In Witness Whereof I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of July, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and ninth.
--Ronald Reagan
The first National Ice Cream Day was July 15, 1984, which was the third Sunday of the month. The third Sunday of July this year is July 17, 2022.
I'm off to Publix shortly. For those of you in the southeastern U.S., Publix Premium is some of the best store-bought ice cream that you can find, and it is on sale this week, $4.99 for a full half-gallon tub.
The tough decision for me -- the all-time favorite, Maple Walnut, or the intense Chocolate Trinity. Not enough room in the freezer for both.

Put one, temporarily, in your tummy, and the other in the freezer. That way, when the tummy is empty again, you have a place to put the one that you put in the freezer.
See? Easy-peasy. Inventory is easy when you can do math.

I don't have a half-gallon tummy.

Rookie.
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I agree with this 100%! I try to only buy it as an occasional treat as it doesn't seem to last me very long.
I actually have some Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough in the freezer right now.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Mboroman,
