Chocolate ice cream has always been popular. Actually, chocolate ice cream was invented before vanilla. Going back to Italy, chocolate ice cream originated as a frozen chocolate drink. Popular drinks, like hot chocolate and coffee, were some of the first ice cream flavors. Since people liked the drink flavors, the frozen desserts were created to taste like the favorite drinks.

Over the years, chocolate was replaced by vanilla as the most popular flavor. Today, ice cream flavors are plentiful. Who would have thought that Baskin Robbins 31 flavors would only be a fraction of the ice cream flavors?
