Our Favorite Summer Activity Isn’t Grilling—It’s Ice Cream

If you’ve got a popsicle in one hand and a scoop of rocky road in the other… I’m not sure how you’re also browsing the internet. But congrats – you’re living your best summer life!

A new poll confirmed that eating “ice cream or popsicles” is America’s #1 favorite summer activity. A full 60% of people love it, and another 35% say they like it. Only 1% admitted to hating it, and we assume they’ve been reported to the proper authorities.

Here’s the full top 10 rundown of summer favorites, based on what Americans actually enjoy most:

  1. Eating ice cream or popsicles
  2. Going on vacation
  3. Grilling
  4. Road trips
  5. Going to the beach
  6. Hiking or nature walks
  7. Swimming in pools
  8. Stargazing
  9. Watching fireworks
  10. Picnics

A few honorable mentions that just missed the top 10: boating, lounging in a hammock, roasting marshmallows, and amusement park adventures.

The biggest surprise? Sunbathing ranked low. Only 14% of Americans say they love laying out in the sun, while 18% outright hate it. Apparently, SPF and air conditioning are winning the culture war.

So if your summer checklist includes ice cream, beach days, road trips, and maybe a little stargazing, you’re officially doing it right.
