"Thanks, Ronald Reagan, for giving us yet another reason to eat ice cream. It&amp;#039;s true: Upon realizing the American attachment to said frozen treat, the former president decided it needed to be celebrated, officially declaring the third Sunday in July National Ice Cream Day. In honor of the 2010 occasion, Yahoo! investigated what exactly it is we&amp;#039;re all looking for (aka searching on Yahoo! for) related to the tasty treat this month (also known as National Ice Cream Month). Here are 10 interesting tidbits from their research: 1. In the past 30 days, searches for &amp;quot;ice cream&amp;quot; have outnumbered searches for &amp;quot;froyo&amp;quot; 11 to 1 and searches for &amp;quot;gelato&amp;quot; 17 to 1. (But that&amp;#039;s not to say we don&amp;#039;t love our light ice cream.) 2. For the third consecutive year, Vanilla garnered twice as many lookups in Yahoo! search as chocolate. 3. The usual third-place favorite, strawberry, has been narrowly edged out by peach. 4. The most unique ice creams within the top 20 most searched this month are Neapolitan, spumoni, sea salt, lemon basil, strawberry balsamic, salted caramel, honeysuckle, curry, sour sop and bitter melon. 5. Oreo ice was bumped out of the top five most searched by lavender. 6. Twenty one percent of people who are searching &amp;quot;ice cream&amp;quot; on Yahoo! are ages 12 and under, while teens make up 15% of searchers. 7. Most searched questions about ice cream: &amp;quot;Why does ice cream melt?&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Is ice cream bad for you?&amp;quot; 8. Los Angeles, New York and Chicago are the top ice cream-loving regions in the US. 9. Top 2 places in search (literally!) of homemade ice cream: Bakersfield, California, and Alabama. 10. Of all searches for homemade things, including &amp;quot;homemade video&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;homemade lemonade recipes,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;homemade ice cream&amp;quot; made up +138% of hits.
