Regardless of age, gender, nationality, or culture, everyone loves ice cream. These cold and creamy treats are often collectively referred to as ice cream, but they are broken down into gelatos, sorbets, or granitas by milk fat content or production method. Milk and other processed dairy products are flavored with toppings, sugar, and additives before being frozen. Thanks to the artisan ice cream market exploding on the American West Coast in the 2010s, ice cream manufacturers can now infuse their personalities into new products with unique flavors or organic ingredients. Recently, ice cream has become central in many branding and promotional strategies, once again claiming its sweet spot in cultures everywhere across the globe.
