ice cream
Definitions & examples
A light “reward yourself” nudge, a date idea, or a summer “cool off” plan; often stands in for sundaes and dessert bars.
In Japan, common in café posts for parfaits or cream-soda floats; if you mean shaved ice use 🍧, if you mean soft-serve use 🍦.
In formal work threads, food emojis can read a bit playful; add a word or two (“ice-cream run,” “team treat”) for clarity.
