From time to time we’ll be dishing out second servings of some of our favorite Ice Cream Journal entries from the past in a feature we call “Second Scoop.” Here’s one to get us started:
Opening a fresh container of ice cream is always exciting. You get to see all the swirls and chocolate bits and cookie dough chunks (hopefully lots of them) all lying there waiting to be scooped up into your bowl. And sometimes you see something like the picture below.
This container of Turkey Hill French Vanilla Ice Cream was purchased by a customer last month, who then sent us this picture. No word on whether this happy half gallon will be sold for thousands on eBay or attract hoards of mystified and adoring fans, but as far as cultural icons go, the smiley face is right up there with the best of’em.


If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
Cool! But I wouldn’t let it stop me from digging in.
I love Turkey Hill Ice Cream – each week it’s Vanilla, Mint Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Marshmallow, and maybe Cherry or Strawberry.
