Happy 33 Flavors Day!


33 Flavors Day is celebrated on March 3 every year. Though the reason for this particular

date is not known, many believe that it is when the famous Baskin-Robbins ice cream company was founded. Whether that is true or not, people love to celebrate this day as they try out new flavors that they have not tried before.


Ice cream originated in China. From there it was brought to Italy by the famous explorer Marco Polo.


He went to China with his father and brother in 1271 on a trading expedition. He was surprised to see frozen food being sold from handcarts on the streets of Peking. It was frozen milk, sometimes flavored with fruit juices. Marco Polo was offered it as a gift. He took it with him to Italy.


Soon, ice cream spread all over the world, including the U.S. The first wholesale factory for ice cream was in Baltimore. The real development of ice cream, and the ice cream business started flourishing only after 1900 with the development of refrigeration.


So go get yourself some ice cream today! You deserve it!
