Today is National Chocolate Ice Cream Day! As a human being, I love chocolate. As someone near the equator, I like cold things. So naturally I would like cold chocolate. Sometimes cold chocolate can be too cold (frozen in scientific terms), though. That's why I'm thankful that someone made chocolate ice cream. I don't know whether or not it was the second or third flavour or ice cream, but I do know that it is the second best (vanilla is the best due to it's addonability). However, if you don't want to complicate your ice cream with syrups and chunks of cookies, then chocolate is the way to go. This is not to say that chocolate can't handle certain toppings well. I'm saying chocolate can stand strong alone. In fact, some may argue that the best kind of toppings for chocolate ice cream would be chocolate syrup or Charleston Chews. Man those things are good when they're cold. Just so good. There's no better way to cool down in the summer. There are better ways to stay hydrated though.

Pull back corner of film to vent.
Today is National Frozen Food Day! It is indeed a grand day for bachelors everywhere, as this makes up quite a bit of our diet. Well, thats a bit of a half-true blanket statement. I can cook, but that talent seems to only be truly any good in the area of desserts. Although I can make a mean wrap. The point being, that frozen foods are easy, fast, and delicious if you know what kinds to get. Hot Pockets? Yummy. Do I regret eating them almost immediately after I do? You bet. Some frozen foods are delicious AND good for you, though. Healthy Choice would be the obvious example there.
Let us not forget however, that 'frozen food' does not always mean 'meal-in-a-box'. No, food is food; so logically frozen food is any edible good that is frozen to preserve its flavour. Fruit, meat, veggies, ice cream, sherbet, sometimes pop-tarts, and even those certain candies that are just better frozen (I'm looking at you, charleston chew). Yes, frozen food certainly does encompass a lot of foods we partake in.
We have two people to thank for this holiday. First and foremost is Clarence Birdseye, whose name probably foretold of his awesometude later in life. He invented the process of freezing foods. Clarence, this Hot Pocket Sloppy Joe Side Shot goes out to you, my fellow man. The next shout out is for the man who saw the greatness of frozen food, and wisely used his position of power to give it the honor it deserved: Ronald Reagan. Yes, indeed, we can rest assured that he was also a fan of the quick-meal. He made this national holiday on March 6, 1984 saying "Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim March 6, 1984, as Frozen Food Day, and I call upon the American people to observe such day with appropriate ceremonies and activities." Awesome. Just awesome.
