The History ofIce Cream

Ice cream is one of the most popular foods to enjoyduring the spring and summer months. Many peoplewonder about who invented ice cream and howlong it has been around.

The history of ice cream is somewhat complicated.Many countries have claimed they invented icecream. However, historians know that ice creamwas around as early as 4th century B.C. It wasknown that in China, people were able to freezemilk and add ice to it. Therefore, it is most likely thatIce cream was brought from China back to Europe.

Once ice cream made its way to the United States,famous Americans such as George Washington andThomas Jefferson served it to their guests. The firstice cream parlor in America opened in New YorkCity in 1776. American colonists were the first to usethe term "ice cream” to refer to the frozen treat. In1851, Jacob Fussell in Baltimore opened the firstlarge-scale commercial ice cream plant.

Today ice cream is a popular treat. In the UnitedStates alone, ice cream companies are earningover 10 billion dollars in sales a year.

Name: ____________________________How Do People Earn Money?

Have you ever heard the saying, “money

doesn’t grow on trees?” Well, it’s true! People earn

money by working a job. They act as producers. They

can either produce goods or services.

Goods are something you buy from a

producer that you can hold and consume. Some

examples are toys, food, books, clothes and a car.

People who work in bakeries, factories, and other

businesses where things are created are called

producers.

Services are something that someone does for

you such as a haircut, being served at a restaurant,

being taught to read or do math, and getting your car

washed.

Both goods and services are very necessary

and we need both to be able to have the things we

need.

provide a good or a service.
