Another Alaska fact - Alaskans eat more ice cream in winter months than the lower 48 states do combined all year long. If there's a coffee shop on every corner in the lower states, there's a drive thru ice cream shop on every corner in the cities in AK. (It's true in Fairbanks at least, I've seen it!)
Here are two excerpts that I found (I added stars around the statistics):
"Alaska is home to record-breaking low temperatures and the most ice cream consumption per capita in the United States. Alaska Supreme Ice Cream Inc. has been selling ice cream to Alaskans since 1985 and has done well, according to owners David Smith and Don Dye.
Smith said 20 years ago he calculated that each week **three quarts of ice cream per person** is consumed in Alaska. And he believes that number has increased each year since.
Ironically, he believes ice cream sells well in the state because of its frigid environment."

"Alaskans eat a lot of ice cream. Several associations that keep track of that sort of thing have put their signature on that fact. Records show that Alaskans consume more ice cream than any other state in the U.S. The records also reveal that the **average American eats roughly 4 gallons of ice cream a year** and that **Alaskans eat a bit more than the average**. That could add up to a lot of ice cream."
I love Letterman, I think he is hot. and I remember when his son was born and the scandal about his intern and I also saw the infamous episode when Drew Barrymore danced on his desk and flashed him for his birthday live when it aired......
