There's never really a bad time to
have ice cream, but have you ever wondered what your favorite ice cream
flavor says about you?
Baskin-Robbins recently conducted a study to to help you figure it out to celebrate 'National Ice Cream Month.'
Dr.
Alan Hirsh, founder of Smell & Taste Treatment and Research
Foundation, has been identifying exactly what some ice cream flavors may
suggest about individuals personalities.
Results: I scream, you scream, but we all scream for different types of ice cream
Plain and simple: If your favorite flavor is Vanilla, you're more likely to be impulsive, easily suggestible and an idealist
'We uncovered quite a few surprising finds,' Dr Hirsch said.
'For
instance, we found that people who prefer Rainbow Sherbet are more
pessimistic than you would think, in spite of the flavor’s bright taste
profile, and that those who prefer Rocky Road are actually very good
listeners.'
If your favorite flavor is Vanilla, you’re more likely to be impulsive and an idealist.
Chocoholics are dramatic and flirtatious, while Rocky Road lovers are good listeners
Praline ‘n Cream fans are loving and supportive.
Don’t say anything bad about Mint Chocolate Chip to those fans, because they tend to be argumentative.
'National
Ice Cream Month is the perfect time to enjoy your favorite ice cream
flavor, and this year we wanted our guests to have fun by learning what
their favorite flavor says about them,' said Dan Wheeler, from the ice
cream chain.
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan
designated July as National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of the
month as National Ice Cream Day.
He recognized ice cream as a fun and
nutritious food that is enjoyed by a full 90 percent of the nation's
population.
In the proclamation, President Reagan called for all people
of the United States to observe these events with 'appropriate
ceremonies and activities.'
National Ice Cream Day this year is on Sunday, July 21.
