Ice cream is the best. Ice cream is magic for the soul. Ice cream is great in summer; ice cream is great in winter. Ice cream is everything.

Sure, we are self-proclaimed addicts. But you see, we do not want it any other way.

People often talk about ice cream being sinful, and having to eat them in moderation. But we say heck that and have it as you please! We only have one life to live anyway. Or they call it #YOLO.

Here are 5 Reasons Why Ice Cream is Bad For You But You Should Eat it Anyway.

#1 IT CAN BRIGHTEN YOUR MOOD

You are having the worst day at work. You flunked that bloody math test. You had a fight with your partner. You are so bothered by the mother of all cramps because it is the time of the month.

And what do you crave? Yes, ice cream. It is the most popular (and stereotypical) remedy to sadness. Simply because it works all the time.

What’s that shit again about ice cream being bad for health? C’mon, it is so good for our emotional health!

#2 IT CAN INSTANTLY MAKE ALL YOUR PROBLEMS GO AWAY

You are worried about bills, about finances, about an upcoming interview, about a performance… but what you shouldn’t worry about is ice cream, because it will always be there for you.

Whether you are fretting over something or about to tear your hair out from all of life’s problems, grab a scoop (or tub, because we won’t judge) of your favourite ice cream, and it is like all your problems are put on hold. Savour the moment; it is just you and the ice cream against the world.

#3 IT IS HEAVEN ON A HOT & HUMID DAY

The sun shows no mercy, but there is nothing you can do about it. Summer may be fun and all, but when the humidity hits us, all we want is something icy cold to combat that heat.

And what do you do when you see an ice cream shop? A strong magnetic force draws you to it. You grab a cone. You are in heaven.

#4 THE MULTITUDE OF FLAVOURS ICE CREAM CAN COME IN

Admit it, ice cream comes in endless possibilities and it is precisely this that drives you nuts!

It is like nothing in the world can stop ice cream from being fabulous. The most ridiculous ingredients can become ice cream flavours – parma ham, glutinous rice, ginger…

#5 YOU CAN GO CRAZY WITH YOUR TOPPINGS

Another amazing thing about ice cream is the fact that you can pick as many toppings as you want to top your scoops with. Waffles, chocolate, fruits; we want them all! The more the merrier.

There is this inexplicable sense of satisfaction when you customise a cone based on your own whims and fancies, and watching as the ice cream server piles on the scoops and toppings to create your very own fantasy.

Oh ice cream, how we love you so!
