National Ice Cream Sandwich Day is celebrated each year on August 2. Ice cream sandwiches are cool, convenient and portable, which makes them coveted on any hot day.
According to the book "Sugar and Snow: A History of Ice Cream Making," by Jeri Quinzio, the ice cream sandwich was created in 1899 by an unknown pushcart peddler in the Bowery neighborhood of New York City. These sandwiches consisted of vanilla ice cream pressed between two thin graham wafers. Images from the early 1900′s depict ice cream sandwiches being served on the beach in Atlantic City, NJ. These frozen treats were quite popular and sold for 1 cent each.
