The people of United States of America, whether chocoholic or not, enjoy “unofficial” holiday on National Chocolate Ice Cream Day on June 7, each year. Exact root of Chocolate Ice Cream Day is still unknown as a mystery. Well-known chocolate lover, Thomas Jefferson, introduced the frozen chocolate from Europe to the US during the 1780s. Therefore, this guy has to be credited for National Chocolate Ice Cream Day. It is also known as National Eat Ice Cream For Dinner Day.
