Did you know June 21st is World Giraffe Day? Have you ever wondered what a giraffe does when it gets a sore throat? I bet it drinks a lot! Which may be why June 20st is National Ice Cream Soda Day and National Vanilla Milkshake Day, and June 21st is National Smoothie Day!

Did you know an ice cream soda isn't quite the same thing as a float? A float is a drink made with ice cream and "pop," or a "soda," or in theory a "coke" depending on where you live in the US. Although these days if someone asks for a coke I'm going to assume they're asking for a specific beverage instead of a general class of things. And an ice cream soda is ice cream, flavored syrup, and carbonated water.
