National Sundae Day
Today's the perfect excuse to splurge on calories and enjoy a delicious ice cream sundae! There are three cities in the United States that all claim to be the birthplace of the sundae, but the true origin of this dessert is unknown.
There are hundreds of different variations of the original ice cream sundae, all with different ice cream flavors and toppings. Did you know that the most expensive sundae to be documented sold for $1,000? It had five scoops of rich vanilla ice cream, edible gold leafs, candied fruit, expensive chocolate, and was served in a crystal goblet with a golden spoon.
To celebrate National Sundae Day, throw an ice cream sundae party for you and your friends. Get a few gallons of your favorite ice cream flavors and toppings and enjoy!
Today is also Veterans Day & Remembrance Day
