Hashtag Holiday Calendar and Pop Quiz, National Vanilla Ice Cream Day Edition

Weatherman Jerry Steffen brought the heat this morning, both on the forecast and on the pop quiz.

Today happens to be a sweet one on the calendar. It's National Vanilla Ice Cream Day, and yes, vanilla is still the reigning champion of ice cream flavors, even with chocolate, cookie dough, and everything else out there fighting for the title. It's also National Sprinkle Day, so whether you're a rainbow sprinkles person or a chocolate sprinkles person, today's the day to top that cone. Round things out with National Peanut Butter and Chocolate Day, perfect for baking cookies or brownies, or just grabbing a bag of Reese's, and it's also National Hot Enough For You Day, which, if you live in the Coachella Valley, might be the most relatable holiday of the year.

That heat theme carried straight into the pop quiz, brought to you by One Coachella Valley, with two multiple-choice questions built around all things hot.
