Ice cream being invented in China during the Tang Period because I’ve always saw it as a European dessert since Thomas Jefferson & George Washington were big fans of the nice summer treat. Thanks for informing me, you learn something new everyday.

Its because modern ice-cream the way you know it was invented in Italy but ice cream was actually invented in China

Pizza shouldn't really be a surprise...

I knew hamburgers and hot dogs were German as well.

I would say fortune cookies being American surprised me the most, but should have seen it coming lol.

Given the Chinese are lacto intolerant I'm surprised by that.
