I was a little kid, my dad traveled door to door delivering milk in glass bottles throughout Antrim and Kalkaska Counties. By the time I was 10, he had a few large trucks with commercial refrigeration and distributed a variety of dairy products—including ice
cream—into Charlevoix County as well. The most magical thing (for a kid) that resulted from his expanding business? Damaged boxes. We had a freezer dedicated to unsellable boxes of orange sherbet Push-Ups®, ice cream sandwiches, Neapolitan bars, Fudgesicles®,
Creamsicles®, and chocolate- and strawberry-swirled sundae cups. Not surprisingly, access to this bounty spearheaded my lifelong love for ice cream. As we enjoy a scoop or two during National Ice Cream Month, consider learning more about one of our favorite
nostalgic treats through the <a href="https://mel.org/welcome">Michigan eLibrary</a> (MeL)
