You know one thing you can’t do with ice cream? Eat it in cold weather. Well, you CAN, but along with this display of rebellion you will incur many stares from anyone who catches you in the act. Also, if you do decide to break the social rule of eating frozen treats when below freezing, you cannot hold the cone, stick, or other supporting appendage with mittens or gloves – it is simply not functional. Have you ever tried to eat a popsicle while mittened? It makes it quite hard to adjust the level of the stick when your fingers can’t even separate. However, there is a plus to consuming chilled snacks in winter – brain freeze is impossible! (It’s true, look it up!)
