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:
- Eating ice cream or popsicles
- Going on vacation
- Grilling
- Road trips
- Going to the beach
- Hiking or nature walks
- Swimming in pools
- Stargazing
- Watching fireworks
- 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.
