1. New Englanders eat more ice cream per capita
than any other part of the country.... and we eat it YEAR-ROUND.

Ice cream.... it's not just for summer any more.

2. I crave it more during winter
Never found it odd since it seemed true of those around me as well

3. No - you can eat it with ease in the winter.
In the summer, you have to gulp it down before it melts, so the winter is the best time to eat ice cream.

4. nah, it was 3 degrees here this morning, so ice cream would probably
be warmer than the air outside :crazy:

13. Nope...but I sure as hell wouldn't be eating it Outside!
Inside where I'm nice and warm is best.

18. Why do you ask - is it
bitterly cold inside, too, or is it only just melting?

"Too cooly-glub, noam hot enup, freezy belly opp ollie-man." This was the pidgin response of the aborginal to his first taste of ice cream.
