There's never really a bad time to have ice cream, but have you ever wondered what your favorite ice cream flavor says about you?
Baskin-Robbins recently conducted a study to to help you figure it out to celebrate 'National Ice Cream Month.'
Dr. Alan Hirsh, founder of Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, has been identifying exactly what some ice cream flavors may suggest about individuals personalities.

Results: I scream, you scream, but we all scream for different types of ice cream

Plain and simple: If your favorite flavor is Vanilla, you're more likely to be impulsive, easily suggestible and an idealist

'We uncovered quite a few surprising finds,' Dr Hirsch said.
'For instance, we found that people who prefer Rainbow Sherbet are more pessimistic than you would think, in spite of the flavor’s bright taste profile, and that those who prefer Rocky Road are actually very good listeners.'

'National Ice Cream Month is the perfect time to enjoy your favorite ice cream flavor, and this year we wanted our guests to have fun by learning what their favorite flavor says about them,' said Dan Wheeler, from the ice cream chain.
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day.
He recognized ice cream as a fun and nutritious food that is enjoyed by a full 90 percent of the nation's population.
In the proclamation, President Reagan called for all people of the United States to observe these events with 'appropriate ceremonies and activities.'
National Ice Cream Day this year is on Sunday, July 21.
