A most beautiful birthday card by Aya Jinha. Thank you so much!

... free rainbow sprinkles all week long, National Root Beer Float Day and National Frozen Custard Day!

And like any three-year-old, we want everyone to be there! And like so many birthday parties this year, it's a distanced affair. But what is not distanced is memories, and we still remember that magical day three years ago when The Merry Dairy opened its doors at 102 Fairmont, marking a new chapter in The Merry Dairy's journey that begun eight years ago with a Grumman Stepvan and the frozen custard machine as so beautifully displayed by Aya!

Starting Tuesday, August 4th, (we are closed today for civic reasons), until Sunday, it's free rainbow sprinkles all week long at the takeaway window and at the truck! Order a cone, or a cup and make small celebration with complimentary rainbow sprinkles!

Also, starting Tuesday, and appearing for this week only, it's dutch chocolate sprinkles available as a topping. What are dutch chocolate sprinkles? In our humble opinion they are the ambrosia of the sprinkle family. More info from these folks :)

Also, also, starting Tuesday, our frozen custard flavour of the week is Birthday Cake! Yes! Imagine that day way back when you looked at that small number of candles on your cake, blew them out, and then shared that cake with your friends and family. That is this week's flavour. Order it in a cone, in a pint, or as an ice cream cake!

And then on Thursday, August 6th, it's National Root Beer Float Day.  Place any online order for anything, ffor pickup or delivery between now and 10am Thursday, August 6th, and be automatically entered to win one of five free root beer float kits! Or come to the takeaway window that day, and order a root beer float, and your float just might be free!

And on Saturday, April 8, it's National Frozen Custard day - the treat that started it all for The Merry Dairy (we refer you back to Aya's awesome birthday card). All-day long on Saturday, buy a scooped frozen custard cone at the takeaway window or a soft-serve frozen custard at the truck, and $1 will be donated to Salus Ottawa. Learn more about how Salus supports people in our community and how to help support Salus in their work.

And as announced last week - scoops are back at a distance! With cars off the lot, and no entry in the shop, follow the blue tape for the line to the takeaway window, get your order from the front door, and feel free to enjoy your cone on the lot at a distance. So check out TheMerryDairy.com to see what the 12 other flavours will be scooped that day!

Made one year ago for our second birthday :)  Thank you to all for your patience over the past months as we adjusted to a new way of keeping our distance. While the scoop shop is still closed, thank you too to all who have ordered for delivery, pickup and who come to the takeaway window!

The Vanilla of it all!

The flavour that started it all. And not an imitation - but pure vanilla. A flavour that is wild on its own, and yet, delicately goes with any other flavour. Could there be a more dependable and more exciting ice cream friend than the uniquely universal Vanilla? (GF, SF)

The fine print is that some of these flavours may sell out quickly!
Allergen information: If you're subscribed to this newsletter, you probably already know that The Merry Dairy's founding mission is to be nut- and peanut-free. Why is that? Because back when we started we knew too many people - kids especially - who had never experienced an ice cream shop because they were too allergic to nuts to go inside one. That's what our slogan "Ice Cream for All" means (thank you Allie Goodyear!). But all means more - and that is why we offer plant-based ice cream too. We're working on getting better with allergen information on all of our products, but you can always just email mar@themerrydairy.com to find out what's in what we make. We do make almost everything in-house so that we know that we can be nut-free. Our traditional recipe for frozen custard and premium dairy ice creams do contain small amounts of pasteurized egg. Here are what some of the letters above mean:

GF = Gluten-Free - most of our flavours are gluten-free, by the way ;)
SF = Soy-Free - the only "soy" in our products is soy lecithin in flavours that contain chocolate. Otherwise, we don't use soy
V = Vegan - we use coconut milk for vegan ice creams, except for sorbets which are fruit based

 
All products are also nut-free, peanut-free and sesame-free!
Other allergen or ingredient questions: write mar@themerrydairy.com!
We're only three!
