For those who don’t know, National Ice Cream Sandwich Day falls on August 2. To honor this awesome holiday with the tender, loving care that it deserves, we dedicated this week’s Top Instagram Food Photos to the almighty ice cream sandwich. It was torture going through these without being able to taste them, but we did it just for our lovely readers to feel the torture and wrath of not eating these appreciate the many beautiful incarnations. As always, be sure to tag up your foodie photos with #FOODBEAST so we know you’re eating, and for a chance to be featured!
