In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month and declared that the third Sunday of the month would be National Ice Cream Day, according to the International Dairy Foods Association.

In the official proclamation, Reagan stated, “Ice cream is a nutritious and wholesome food, enjoyed by over 90% of the people in the United States,” and encouraged Americans to celebrate throughout July with “appropriate ceremonies and activities.”

Here are some great ways to celebrate:

Baskin-Robbins

When you download the Baskin-Robbins app, you can get a free, regular-sized scoop of ice cream when you make your first in-store purchase. On July 19, National Ice Cream Day, you can score a free regular scoop of ice cream by using the code “BASKINSCOOP” when you place an order worth at least $15 through DoorDash.
