Walmart Ice Cream Sandwich Wont Melt In FIRE!!!!! – YouTube.

Happy National Ice Cream Sandwich Day.

Thanks to science, many if not most good ice cream sandwiches won't melt when exposed to heat, to prevent people from getting gooey hands. A mix of calcium sulfate and guar gum keeps the ice cream together, even when exposed to warm hands to hot temperatures.
