Soda Fountain Favorites Stamps: Who Screams for Ice Cream?

If you grew up in the 1970s or before, or maybe even in the 1980s, you probably are  familiar with the childhood chant about ice scream: "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!"
On June 30 in Nashville, TN, the U.S. Postal Service will issue Soda Fountain Favorites stamps.
The USPS will celebrate the cold, sweet treats beloved by people of all ages. This First-Class Mail Forever booklet of 20 stamps features five different illustrations: a double-scoop ice cream cone, an egg cream, a banana split, a root beer float, and a hot fudge sundae. The geometric silver-toned patterns in the selvage and on the booklet cover evoke a classic chrome-accented soda fountain. The words “Soda Fountain Favorites” appear across the top of the booklet cover.
