What Do You Do When It's Really Hot Outside?

In the United Kingdom, they're cooling off by eating ice cream. It has been hot in England this summer. Temperatures reached 104 degrees Fahrenheit for the first time ever. Asphalt buckled at airports and on roads, and the British government recommended that people stay home, reported Becky Sullivan of NPR.

Those who ventured out could visit a pop-up store offering a unique treat: ice cream flavored to taste like savory sauces, condiments, breakfast cereals, and other foods that might be found in a British pantry. The adventurous could pick up pints of ice cream flavored to taste like:

Tomato ketchup
Rolled oats
Coco pops
Soy sauce
Black tea
Mayonnaise
Salad cream
Golden syrup
Worcestershire sauce
Baked beans

"'There's lots of weird flavors and...me and my sister were very excited to try lots of them," one nine-year-old customer told Natalie Thomas of Reuters.

What's do you like to do when it's hot outside?
