The “Scoop” on American Ice Cream

Detroit confectioner Fred Sanders was among those who claimed to have invented the ice cream soda. One hot summer evening in 1876, he supposedly ran out of fresh cream for his cream soda drinks and substituted ice cream. This Sanders store photo is from 1937. THF234709
