Ice Cream in America

The average American eats about a ton (900 kg) of ice cream in his or her lifetime, enough ice cream to fill the backs of three pickup trucks! That's almost six gallons of ice cream a year, or roughly an ice cream cone every other day.

Americans eat more ice cream than any other people in the world. Only Canadians, Australians, and New Zealanders eat even half as much as Americans do.
