Labor Day may be right around the corner, but the continued summertime heat has us reaching for something cold and refreshing. Surprisingly, ice cream overtakes beer as America’s favorite in new poll.

It may be looking like fall with the overtake of pumpkin spice everything, but the heat does not seem to be going away anytime soon. In fact, climate experts predict that 2023 may be a record-setting year as far as hot weather goes. So, the team at www.supercasinosites.com wanted to know what were Americans top cool summer treats to beat the heat.

Analyzing Google searches from the United States this summer found that ice cream is the most searched treat in hot weather. Reviewing the search results for several other snacks and drinks traditionally associated with summer eating, beer ranks second, followed by refreshing watermelon.
