Talk:Ice cream social

Ice Cream Social
The local band concerts here have concerts on Thursdays. At these concerts there is a gazebo where they sell coffee, pie, cake, cookies, brownies, pop corn, pop and sometimes ice cream and sometimes maybe hot dogs (and things like that). They call it an ice cream social, but is it really? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.84.231.3 (talk) 17:36, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
 * That would be more of a question for the WP:Reference desk. But does the event match up with the description given in this article? If not, probably not. —151.132.206.26 (talk) 18:37, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

It was my impression that part of the original purpose of the "ice cream social" was so that a larger group of people could share the labour of churning the ice cream. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.124.116.101 (talk) 02:32, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

Questions about vaildity of article- interwine review
Balanced coverage-Focus on government, other people not represented. Links to unrelated articles. Neutral coverage-American POV Reliable sources-Sources from commercial websites, not peer-reviewed.

Adding to intertwine review- Could add information about why gathering around food holds value in our society? Make it more of a cultural piece instead of only limiting it to when we serve ice cream?

Also would like more info on "ice cream gardens"

explanation
The article doesn't explain an important bit of context. The process of making ice cream was labor intensive, manually churning the frozen mixture in a bowl surrounded by ice and salt. The ostensible purpose of the social was to divide the labor among the guests.
