It’s not a new development, but we found this story and had to share it. A team of neuroscientists at the Institute of Psychiatry in London have proved that eating ice cream can make you happy.
Using MRI devices and other fancy machinery, the doctors scanned the brains of people eating vanilla ice cream and found “an immediate effect“ on the parts of the brain that are activated when people are normally engaged in enjoyable activities.
Sure, the findings aren’t that surprising. Everyone knows ice cream is great, but imagine what the results might have been had the subjects been eating our Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough or Tastykake Chocolate Cupcake. Are there any volunteers for that study?

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.
Hmmm…I can’t wait to try the new fried ice cream flavor…I’ll sign up for the study…I’m thinking I could break the machine when I taste that ice cream. It sure sounds like it will be good
It always makes me happy! I have certain “days” when I eat ice cream, usually during my favorite TV shows (always durig American Idol). On those days when I think about the ice cream I’ll be having later that night, I get happy! It sounds weird, I know, but that’s the power of ice cream.
I think that study is absolutely correct. If someone scanned my brain even while I was thinking about Ice Cream, anyone would see the happiness I would feel. Ice cream is the most enjoyable thing I can think of. I could eat it everyday if I had to. Thanks for making the best flavors, and especially for the new water ice with ice cream combination, I know you’ll win tons of hearts over with that one!!! Thanks Again!!!
I just can’t tell you enough how much the Peanut Butter Kandy Cake Ice Cream ROCKS!!! This ice cream weilds such happiness-creating power, that it has the potential to creat lasting world peace.
It’s nice to see so many people agree about the happiness power of ice cream. Do you really think Peanut Butter Kandy Cake ice cream can end put an end to wars around the world? It sort of makes sense. Have you ever seen someone fighting while holding an ice cream cone? It’s impossible!
You Have any flavors like to show on your page??
I know that eating ice cream makes my 9 year old son happy. He asks for a Turkey Hill ice cream banana split every day!
Love ice cream, especially Vanilla Bean. Maybe I should eat more since I read the study.
I know ice cream makes my husband happy. Every night he has a huge bowl of Turkey Hill ice cream and ALL flavors are his favorite!
Ice Cream is a wonderful food!!! I eat it every day.
My Mom is 91 years old, lives with me part of the time, and she LOVES her ice cream, which of course, is Turkey Hill. It is the highlight of her day to have her big bowl of ice cream at bedtime. I do believe that this is one of the reasons she has lived to be 91. ICE CREAM MAKES YOU HAPPY , and being happy keeps you living longer! Mom is living proof. I myself, LOVE Turkey Hill Frozen Yogurt! Chocolate Marshmallow and Peanut Butter/Marshmallow is the best!!!
I could have told you this years ago!!!
Yes, another good excuse to eat ice-cream.
Now if only the experts can find a way that ice-cream can make us lose weight.
I am a Diabetic and every one thinks oh no ice cream for you! Wrong. Turkey Hill Ice cream is my Saviour. It has a low qlycemic impact and is great for adding dairy to your diet. I eat meat and veggies which are no carbs to make room for my treat of the day! ICE CREAM! It is only 15 to 21 carbs per serving and that doesn’t raise my blood sugar above the recommended amount
:):)! Also, Thank for your ice cream containing peanuts as peanuts are low carb too!
This is true. I use ice cream as an example when talking with patients about chemicals in the brain and how they effect our moods! Now how about making Strawberry rhubarb pie ice cream again?!
What a delicious Fourth of July. Vanilla Ice Cream and strawberries with my grandsons. Yummy.
Happiness is the new Duetto! WOW! It is superb! Thanks for making us happy with your FABULOUS frozen products! The Duetto creation team deserves a big bonus. Duetto = Happy Customers!
Just wanted to say my cat, Maxx & I love the choco mint chip!! We share a mug full just about every night. (Well he only gets a spoonful, but loves it!) Haven’t found the Black Raspberry in our area yet, really anxious to try that one!!
where can i buy kandy cake ice cream?
BEST THING I HAVE EVERY EATIN!!!!!!!!
[...] There’s a reason ice cream is considered a comfort food. You can’t eat ice cream while you’re mad. Go ahead, try it. It’s like trying to sneeze with your eyes open. Impossible. It works for sadness too. In movies and TV we always see jilted lovers healing their post break-up wounds while curled up on the couch with a big carton of ice cream. Something about that double fudge swirl just makes everything better. It’s a proven fact. [...]
