Whether you buy ice ceream sandwiches off-the-rack or make them at home with your own special recipe, enjoy a cold one on these hot summer days.
National Ice Cream Sandwich Day is celebrated annually on August 2nd.

National Watermelon Day celebrates one of the most versatile and refreshing summer treats from the garden. Watermelons are typically 92% water, so chilling watermelon before serving is like icing down a sweet glass of water. Serve sliced, use a baller to add flavor to summer salads, or cut into chunks and serve with pieces of aged gouda or goat cheese. For recipes and more information about watermelon, visit www.watermelon.org.
National Watermelon Day is celebrated each year on August 3rd.

National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day recognizes the most beloved, versatile and frequently enjoyed cookie in America – the Chocolate Chip. Although widely baked and paired with everything from ice cream to milk, the chocolate chip cookie is a relatively modern creation.
The original recipe was invented out of necessasity in 1937 or 1938 (accounts vary) when innkeeper, dietician and teacher Ruth Wakefield found herself without baker’s chocolate while making a batch of cookies. She substituted semi-sweet chocolate chips, expecting them to blend into the cookie dough in the same fashion as baker’s chocolate. The chips did not blend into the dough or melt away when baked, resulting in a new style cookie that quickly gained popularity. Mrs. Wakefield and her husband operated a tourist lodge in rural Massachusetts called the Toll House Inn, where travelers often stopped to enjoy her renowned home-style cooking and baking. She named her new chocolate chip recipe “Toll House Cookies,” a name that is still used today to describe simple chocolate chip cookies. Note: Swiss food company Nestlé® currently holds the trademark on TOLL HOUSE® relating to its line of chocolate chip and chocolate chip cookie products inspired by Mrs. Wakefield’s original recipe.
National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day is celebrated each year on August 4th.

National Root Beer Float Day recognizes another truly American and tasty treat invented in Cripple Creek, Colorado in 1893. One hot August night Frank J. Wisner, the owner of Cripple Creek Brewing, looked out his window and saw a full moon shining over the dark peak of Cow Mountain and it gave him an idea. He poured a bottle of Myers Avenue Red Root Beer into a mug and added a scoop of vanilla ice cream – the root beer float was born. Originally served with the name “Black Cow Mountain,” local kids eventually called it simply a “Black Cow.”
Today, the Root Beer Float is a popular summertime beverage that pairs well with most outdoor barbecued foods and also makes a fine dessert. There are many different recipe variations, including adult versions. Check out alcohol-friendly root beer float recipes on Yummly – click here.
National Root Beer Float Day is celebrated annually on August 6th.
