NATIONAL CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM DAY
To observe National Chocolate Ice Cream Day on June 7 all you need is chocolate ice cream. Who says you have to stop there, though? You can have it in a cone or make it from scratch. Add sprinkles or syrup or whipped cream.
Chocolate ice cream is the second most common flavor, surpassed only by vanilla. The chocolate flavored ice cream has been in existence well over a hundred years and has been popular in the United States since the late 19th century.
Cocoa powder is blended in with eggs, cream, vanilla and sugar to make chocolate ice cream. The cocoa powder is what gives the ice cream a brown color. Other flavors, such as rocky road or triple chocolate chunk, use chocolate ice cream in their creation.

National VCR Day June 7
NATIONAL VCR DAY
National VCR Day is observed annually on June 7th. Do you still own a VCR player or do you know someone who does? Many young people do not know what a VCR player or a VCR tape is. National VCR Day is dedicated to the video cassette recorder (VCR). In their time, they were a marvel of technology!
The video cassette recorder is an electro-mechanical device that records analog audio and analog video from television on a removable, magnetic tape videocassette. The images and sound can then be played back at a more convenient time. At the time, the VCR was the main way to watch movies at home, and one could create their own personal movie library.
The first video cassette recorder was introduced in 1956. The home video cassette format (VCR) was developed in 1970.
The birth of VCR mass market success boomed in the mid-1970s and continued throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
Over 10 billion videotapes remain today with our recorded memories. These memories are keepsakes and people keep the tapes for that reason. It is important to move those memories to a more stable format to preserve them. Companies like Zoovio, Inc., provide options for both getting them converted to a DVD or stored in an online private vault online to be viewed and shared on internet connected devices including TVs.
