The background of National Ice Cream Soda Day

As with most inventions, ice cream soda was created by accident when ice cream and soda were combined. Robert Green allegedly attempted to prepare chilled seltzer at a Philadelphia fair but ran out of ice shavings. To cool the beverage, he came up with the idea of adding ice cream. Thus, ice cream beverage was created.

There are currently many distinct accounts of the invention of ice cream soda. Even though Robert Green vociferously claimed to be the inventor of the ice cream soda and even had it engraved on his tombstone, another legend asserts that Fred Sanders created the refreshing summer beverage. Sanders ran a candy store and, when he could not obtain sweet cream, he mixed ice cream with soda.

More individuals continued to claim credit for inventing ice cream soda, particularly because it was so successfully marketed and immensely popular. George Guy and Philip Mohr are two well-known candidates for the title of ice cream soda’s inventor.
