June 27, 2022 - National Ice Cream Cake Day | National Sunglasses Day

Welcome to June 27th, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate staying cool under pressure and looking cool while you’re at it. On Memorial Day weekend of 1929, Tom Carvel was driving his ice cream truck around when he got a flat tire. He pulled into the parking lot of a local shop and watched helplessly as the ice cream began to melt. Staying cool under pressure, he decided to sell the slightly melted ice cream to passersby. The softer texture was a big hit and he quickly sold out his entire stock. Carvel soon opened a permanent store to sell the new style of ice cream and the name Carvel became synonymous with sort-serve and ice cream cakes. On National Ice Cream Cake Day enjoy this perfect way to have your cake and ice cream and eat them too. Sure sunglasses are cool, but thanks to the Vision Council, most of us know they’re our first line of defense from harmful UV rays. That doesn’t mean you can’t flaunt your own personal style! If you’re going for “Risky Business chic,” why not try a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers like the ones worn by Tom Cruise? Fashion icon Jackie O. turned heads in her signature oversized glasses that are still popular today. And who doesn’t like the anti glare benefit of a classic pair of Aviator glasses? On National Sunglasses Day, be sure to pick a pair that offers the best protection for your peepers. I’m Anna Devere and I’m Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.
