QUESTION: China is the home to many inventions including paper money, gunpowder, the writing brush, the lunar calendar and the most exquisite clay and porcelain pottery, just to name a few.

What was invented in China when someone packed a soft milk and rice mixture in the snow?

A. A special type of paint for use on Ming vases
B. A natural facial foundation for women to wear
C. Ice-cream
D. An alcoholic drink

ANSWERS:
If you said C, you are right on the money. Yes, we have the Chinese to thank for inventing the wonderful stuff that is ice cream around 2,000 BC. Next time you are sitting in front of a good movie with a bucket of vanilla or choc-chip, say a quick word of thanks for the inventiveness of the Chinese - and remember to leave some ice cream for me!
