How did Good Humor ice cream get its name?

Answer 1

Origin of the Ice Cream Sundae:

The ice-ceam sundae was invented as a result of the prohibition on flavoured sodas being sold on a Sunday.

Edward Berner was the owner of a drug store and ice-cream parlour in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. On Sunday, 8 July 1881, customer George Hallauer ordered an ice-cream soda. It was a Sunday, so Berner was not permitted to sell flavoured soda water, which was considered "scandalous". Instead, he served Hallauer ice cream in a dish and poured over the chocolate syrup used for ice cream sodas. It was given the name Sundae as it was a "treat for Sundays" but couldn't be named directly for the sabbath.

Several US cities claim to be where the sundae was invented, but the Wisconsin State Historical Society recognises Two Rivers as the birthplace of the sundae. In 1973, the society erected an historical marker in Two Rivers Central Memorial Park. The marker reads:

ICE CREAM SUNDAE - In 1881, George Hallauer asked Edward C. Berner, the owner of a soda fountain at 1404 - 15th Street, to top a dish of ice cream with chocolate sauce, hitherto used only for ice cream sodas. The concoction cost a nickel and soon became very popular, but was sold only on Sundays. One day a ten year old girl insisted she have a dish of ice cream "with that stuff on top," saying they could "pretend it was Sunday." After that, the confection was sold every day in many flavors. It lost its Sunday only association, to be called ICE CREAM SUNDAE when a glassware salesman placed an order with his company for the long canoe-shaped dishes in which it was served, as "Sundae dishes."

I like to think of it as Humors. The Psychological theory of emotions. I don't remember to much of it but I believe there were 7 humors or (7 emotions). The term was used thinking Ice cream (a delicious, sweet, cooled treat) gives us good humor. Or Good emotions.
