NATIONAL BLACK COW DAYThis day on June 10th each year recognizes an ice cream float beverage also known as a Root Beer Float. That’s right, the beverage made with rootbeer and vanilla ice cream was also called a Black Cow. It was originally made with vanilla ice cream but sometimes it’s made with chocolate ice cream or even plain cola flavor. Frank J. Wisner of Cripple Creek, Colorado, gets the credit for inventing the Black Cow way back in August of 1893.One night, as Wisner, owner of the Cripple Creek Cow Mountain Gold Mining Company, he was thinking about sounds water producing for his cripple Creek people ,he came up on idea and and added a spoonful of the creamy vanilla goodness to the children’s favorite flavor of soda, Myers Avenue Red Root Beer. When he tasted it, he knew he had a hit. Like that, the new creation of black cow was made by the wisner.
