Ice cream is a delicious frozen treat that comes in many different colors and flavors. Two very different but popular flavors are strawberry and chocolate. Though both of these flavors are delicious, strawberry may contain pieces of fruit, while chocolate usually will not. Even though more chocolate ice cream is sold across the country annually than strawberry, both flavors taste great inside of a milkshake.

The tiny ice cream shop around the corner from my house has the best ice cream in the city. When you walk inside, there is a long, silver counter with matching stools extending alongside the far wall. Right where the counter stops, there are comfy, red booths. There are lots of old-fashioned decor on the walls and silver napkin holders on all the polished tables. My favorite part of the shop is behind the counter, where they keep all the delicious ice cream flavors, such as cookies and cream, pistachio, and moose tracks.

Freezer burn may have wasted more ice cream than sidewalks. If you don't know, freezer burn is when ice crystals form on the surface of ice cream. These ice crystals can ruin the texture and flavor of the ice cream. But there are ways to prevent freezer burn! Since freezer burn occurs when melted ice cream is refrozen, rather than eating your ice cream from the container as it melts, scoop your ice cream into a bowl, and put the container back in the fridge immediately. Doing this in the future ought to help you solve your issues with freezer burn.
