Today is also Ice Cream Soda Day! What is your favorite? Chocolate Ice Cream with Diet Pepsi!!! (sometimes I even add a squirt of chocolate syrup for fun!)

I will do my best to review this comment and add it as soon as possible. Sorry, but if it is mean, crude, disgusting or irrelevant I can't post it. Remember we are supposed to be celebrating not dragging people down.
