It’s summer, so time for ice cream! As far as we are concerned, you can visit a Zoetermeer ice cream parlor several times a day, even if you raise the average number of ice creams. But eh… how much ice cream does a Zoetermeer eat on average?

One prefers to be at Zuliani’s every day, while the other cannot do without the flavors of Zinn. And of course, many people in Zoetermeer are also happy with an ice cream from the supermarket. Whatever your preference; as long as you enjoy it, it’s good!
Number of ice creams per Zoetermeer
Okay, back to the main question. How many ice creams do people in Zoetermeer eat on average? The answer may surprise you, because according to NOS people eat an average of 8 liters of ice cream per year. According to Bio Journaal you get about 12 scoops from 1 liter of ice cream, so that amounts to a total of 96 scoops. Does this mean that everyone eats so many balls? No, because some Zoetermeer residents prefer a piece of ice cream cake for dessert or during a birthday. That also falls under the 8 liters per year.
Admittedly, in this article we give a rough average. All Dutch people are included, regardless of age, gender or other characteristics. So it is possible that you are far above or far below this. And note: popsicles are not included.
Better ice cream
The number of ice creams eaten by Zoetermeer residents has risen sharply, NOS says. According to the news site, the average in 2015 was still 6.5 liters per capita. One of the explanations for this, according to ice cream parlor owner Hans Kennis, is that the ice cream has simply become tastier. Hans tells NOS: “Ice cream entrepreneurs are well trained. And ice cream makers use more fresh ingredients, organic and natural products. People appreciate that.”
So: do you think you’re nowhere near the average? Time for a visit to one of the ice cream parlors in Zoetermeer!
