ANOTHER REASON TO EAT ICE CREAM
National Chocolate Ice Cream Day. They say the first chocolate ice cream was born in 1692, when the Italians froze their hot chocolate to make a whole new treat. But is chocolate ice cream the most popular flavor? Of the top 15 flavors, chocolate is right near the top: it’s the second most popular flavor. Three other kinds on the list use chocolate ice cream, too: chocolate marshmallow, rocky road, and Neapolitan (it has that stripe of chocolate with the vanilla and strawberry). Unbelievably, the most popular flavor is plain old vanilla! But no matter how you run the numbers, it’s all yummy.
Wee ones: If you count up the top 15 flavors, how high can you count? Try it!
Little kids: Vanilla fudge ripple is the 9th most popular flavor. How many flavors are even better-liked than that? Bonus: If you eat a scoop of the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th most popular flavors, what number flavor do you probably scoop next?
Big kids: There are 2 scoops in a bowl, and four bowls on the table. If you eat them all, how many scoops is that? Bonus: If you eat 14 scoops and your friend wolfs down 4 bowls, who ate more ice cream?
Answers:
Wee ones: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. See how many of them you can get!

Big kids: 8. Bonus: Your friend ate more (16 pints).
