\"national-creamsicles-day-2008\"<\/a>National Creamsicle Day celebrates a tasty summer cooler. <\/span><\/p>\n

The heat and humidity of August beckons you to discover, and to enjoy, a summer cooler. A creamsicle is an excellent choice. This is one of several chilly ice cream and frozen snack days to enjoy on a hot, sticky August day. Just make sure to eat your creamsicle quickly before it melts.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you don’t know what a <\/span>Creamsicle<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a> is, you’re crazy. But…I’ll let you know anyway. Creamsicle is actually a brand name, but the word has entered popular culture as the general name for any type of desert that combines vanilla ice cream with a layer of frozen fruity ice over it. The most common ice is orange-flavored, although various berry variations exist, as does a chocolate version (the <\/span>Fudgscicle<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a>).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
