Never knew if the story was true, or just an urban myth, but there ‘s supposedly a reason why the ice cream dish was spelled that way.
Seems that a lot of communities objected to the serving of ice cream sodas on Sundays (the Sabbath for many), as soda was seen as a stimulant. So ice cream sales on Sunday, containing a syrup on top and no soda, were given the name ’Ice Cream Sunday’ or ‘Sunday Ice Cream’, to indicate that they were soda-free.
Then some leaders of churches objected to the name of the Sabbath day being used for an ice cream dish, so the spelling was changed.

I think this is a repeat but it is still funny to read it again, I think.

Like I say, maybe it’s just an urban myth…

Our business finished it’s Y-to-K computer project on a Fridak. I believe it was back in Julk, 1999. Or maybe Mak?
