Saturday 28 March Eat An Eskimo Pie Day

Eskimo Pie was first created on January 24, 1922. This frozen treat consists of a vanilla ice cream bar covered in chocolate and has a stick in it that makes it easy to eat. However, this ice cream treat is no longer known as an Eskimo Pie.

During the 2020-21 George Floyd protests, this treat was changed to Edy’s Pie—the last name of Dreyer’s co-founder, Joseph Edy.
