5. Great for chilly days.

I know what you're thinking. Why would you eat ice cream on a cold day? Well, if it's cold outside you should be inside snuggled up in blankets and watching Netflix. Snuggles and ice cream go together like chocolate and peanut butter; which also make a delicious ice cream flavor.
