  Americans eat more ice cream than anyone else. About 800 million gallons of ice cream are made in just one year in the U. S. That's enough ice cream to make ten ice-cream cones (蛋卷冰淇淋) for every person on earth.

  Ice cream was not invented in America, though. Rich people in Rome ate ice with honey on top about 2000 years ago. That was the first ice cream. Milk was added to ice cream hundreds of years later.

  In the 1700's, ice cream came to America. George Washington loved ice cream. One summer, the first president spent $ 200 on his favorite dessert. In those days, ice cream cost a lot of money. By the 1800's, the price went down. Everyone was eating ice cream. Some people tried new ways of making it. A man from Philadelphia made the first ice-cream soda in 1874. After that came the first ice-cream cone and the first chocolate-covered ice cream on a stick (棒).

  More vanilla (香草) ice cream is sold than any other kind. Chocolate comes in second.
