With National Best Friends Day's Thursday arrival, Postmates is delivering two pints of ice cream – one for the user and another for a friend – to the first 5000 New Yorkers to download the application and place their orders by Wednesday.

In an effort to investigate America's ice cream habits, Postmates teamed up with NationalToday.com to get the scoop on this important information in order to rate US cities on their chocolate ice cream practices. These habits ranged from the amount of chocolate ice cream delivered, how often it was delivered, and the preference of chocolate ice cream above other types of food. Unsurprisingly, New York City nabbed the number two slot, following behind the number one slot claimer, San Antonio.

National chocolate ice cream day is a holiday worth celebrating because the powers of chocolate in ice cream form can easily sweeten up your day, making you forget – or at least attempt to forget – about all of the troubles within the world.

Unsurprisingly, the very first form of chocolate came from Naples, Italy. It was published as a recipe in the book, "The Modern Steward," according to Four Pounds Flour. The chocolate ice cream recipe included in this book dates back to 1692.

According to NationalToday.com, "The earliest ice cream flavors were modeled after drinks so chocolate naturally came before vanilla because hot chocolate was very popular in 17th century Europe." Hopefully, Postmates will treat vanilla ice cream lovers in New York to the same sweet treat on National Vanilla Ice Cream Day on July 23.
