Ice Cream Emergency

RHYL, WALES – AUGUST 03: A plastic ice cream cone lures holidaymakers to a cafe on the promenade of Rhyl seaside resort on August 3, 2016 in Rhyl, Wales. British seaside resorts are likely to benefit from increased business this year as the pound has weakened since the country voted for Brexit meaning more British people could choose to stay in the UK for their summer holidays rather than go abroad.

I've discovered an Ice Cream Emergency here at the Jersey Shore! Oh, and it looks to be absolutely delicious!

Ice Cream Emergency Jersey Shore NJ is a new family-owned business out of Stafford Township. According to owner Ali Giberson's post on the company's Facebook page, Ice Cream Emergency Jersey Shore NJ is a mobile ice cream parlor!

The big red and yellow limo bus pulls up to your location. You enter, and are served inside the bus! There's a full-on ice cream counter with all your favorite flavors and a toppings station.

According to the Facebook page, the gang at Ice Cream Emergency rushes to your event to "save" your guests by bringing gourmet, super-premium ice cream to them!

Firstly, they arrive at the specified time and your guests are greeted by their professional team of "Scoopologists".  Next, the team is all wearing hospital scrubs, which is hilarious. Guests then board the I.C.E. bus and are served in the fully-appointed ice cream parlor.

The interior is climate controlled, decorated, and themed, including black and white checkered flooring. There is also diamond plate cabinetry, and giant ice cream cones floating on the ceiling!

Meanwhile, you can find out more about Ice Cream Emergency Jersey Shore NJ and find out how to book your next party or work outing at their website.

Furthermore, some of the areas the Ice Cream Emergency family already covers include Wall, Freehold, Tinton Falls, and Marlboro. Now Ocean County is being saved one scoop at a time, with the South Toms River rescue vehicle. Just in time for the summer of 2023!

Finally, I have to know...What's your favorite ice cream flavor? Mine is Butter Crunch. However, since it's so hard to find, I usually stick with Vanilla and Peanut Butter. The rest of my family loves Chocolate Chip Mint...YUCK!

Hot Day Hazards: 7 Things To Avoid Leaving In Your Car

It's summertime, and you know what that means, scorching hot days that can turn your car into an oven on wheels. We've all been guilty of leaving stuff behind in our cars, but when the temperatures start rising, there are a few things you absolutely shouldn't leave baking in there.

Scorching Hot Facts

Last year, Consumer Reports performed a series of temperature tests within enclosed vehicles at CR's Auto Test Track in Colchester, Conn. The objective was to gain a better understanding of how quickly the temperature inside a car can escalate to unsafe levels. These experiments were conducted using precision measuring instruments.

During one of the tests, which took place on a June day with an average outside temperature of 61°F, the interior of a parked car surpassed 105°F within the first hour.

On a different occasion in July, with an average outside temperature of 78°F, the interior of a lighter-colored sedan reached over 104°F during a one-hour test period. Simultaneously, the interior of a dark-colored sedan climbed to more than 109°F.

Consumer Reports provided the temperature readings after one hour of testing. However, it's important to note that the interior temperatures continued to rise as time elapsed.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued a warning stating that even on a seemingly mild day of around 60°F, the temperature inside a vehicle can dangerously escalate to 110°F over the course of several hours.

Life can get hectic, and sometimes we forget stuff in our cars. But when the temperatures rise, let's avoid turning our cars into hotboxes of doom. It'll save you from unnecessary headaches and ensure your stuff stays in tip-top shape.

The next time you hop out of your car, do a quick scan to make sure you're not leaving behind anything that'll suffer from the heat. Here are seven items that you should avoid leaving in your car on a scorching hot day.

Living Things

Leaving living creatures like kids, pets, or any living being in a hot car is a recipe for disaster. It's like turning your ride into a sauna, and trust me, that's not fun or safe. Keep your loved ones cool and comfy by taking them with you or finding a safe spot for them to chill.


Plastic Water Bottles

Did you know that those trusty plastic water bottles can release all sorts of nasty chemicals when they're left to stew in the heat? Yeah, it's not exactly refreshing. So, if you want to avoid a mouthful of plastic-flavored water, switch to stainless steel or glass containers.

Leaving your smartphones, tablets, laptops, or cameras in a hot car is like playing Russian roulette with their delicate circuits. And nobody wants to deal with a fried device. So, take themwith you when you can or stash them in a shady spot to avoid the meltdown.


Medications

You don't want to mess around with heat-damaged medications. When the temperature skyrockets, those pills can lose their effectiveness or even turn into potential health hazards. Keep them in a cooler bag or find a temperature-stable spot for them.

Don't leave flammable materials like aerosol cans, lighters, or explosive cleaning agents in your hot car. Heat can turn your ride into a fiery inferno. So, play it safe and keep those fire-starters away from the heat.


Perishable Food

You leave your favorite cheeseburger in your car on a blazing day, and when you come back, it's a breeding ground for bacteria. Nobody wants food poisoning. So, if you've got perishable goodies, find a cooler or a fridge ASAP. If not, cut your losses and throw it away.


Fragile + Delicate Items
