1. No Ice Cream Sodas on Sundays
In Evanston, Wyoming, Sabbath laws took a peculiar turn: ice cream sodas were forbidden on Sundays. To maintain religious observance, authorities outlawed the fizzy treat, but clever shop owners found a loophole. They began serving plain ice cream topped with syrup—no soda—creating the now-famous ice cream sundae. Some believe the dessert’s name itself pays homage to this quirky law.
