National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day
We all scream for ice cream, but you scream, we all scream for ice cream. National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day is July 1st, a day to try or wonder about the odd combinations of ice cream flavors on display. If you're celebrating this holiday, try the traditional chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream.

Mitchell's Ice Cream in downtown Cleveland is known to mix up some seasonal flavors, some of which may be funky and others are well worth the wait. The flavors on your tongue are similar to their salted butter sweet corn layers. It makes you wonder why you ever bothered trying to find the right cob in the first place. And their jalapeno strawberry has just the right balance of heat and sweetness.
Ample Hills Creamery in New York City is another great shop churning out wacky flavors. They are sure to please some flavor-seeking tastebuds with two locations and two seasonal kiosks.
LICK Pure Cream in Seattle gives adventure and thrill seekers alike the opportunity to push those boundaries, from the savory and smokey to the sweet and surprising. Right? Flavors like pork-belly pecan can't go wrong, right?
