National Ice Cream Month is July, and what better way to celebrate than with your favorite frozen treat? Instacart has some sweet stats on America’s ice cream faves, and we're here to share the scoop!
Instacart says ice cream deliveries go up by a cool 22% in July — so apparently, we’re all screaming for ice cream as the summer heat kicks in.
Let’s check out which flavors are making us swoon across the nation, according to Instacart's 2023 purchase data:
Vanilla Vibes
Classic and versatile vanilla tops the list of state favorites, coming in tops in 21 states, from Alaska to Georgia. Whether it’s in a sundae, with pie, or just on its own, vanilla’s creamy goodness is a total winner accounting for 30% of all ice cream purchases in the U.S.
Chocolate Lovers Unite
Chocolate is the go-to for 15 states, from Maine to Florida. If you’re in one of these states, celebrate National Ice Cream Day on July 21 with a big scoop of chocolatey bliss!
Minty Fresh
States in the Pacific Northwest and one outlier — Pennsylvania — are all about mint chip. Cool and crisp, this flavor is the preference in four states for hot summer days when you need a little extra zing.
Coffee Craze
Four states, from Hawaii to Rhode Island, keep things buzzing with coffee ice cream. Perfect for a sweet afternoon pick-me-up.
Rocky Road Adventures
California, Nevada, and Montana love the adventurous Rocky Road. With its delightful mix of marshmallows, nuts, and rich chocolate, this flavor offers a fun and crunchy twist that adventurous ice cream lovers can't resist.
Moose Tracks Mania
Three states in the Midwest have gone wild for moose tracks. Vanilla ice cream, peanut butter cups, and fudge? They're onto something big in Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
Strawberry Standout
And standing alone in its vote? Washington, D.C.! Stop the presses, because our nation's capital can agree on at least one thing: It's the one spot that prefers strawberry ice cream over all other flavors.
