They used to have Dippin’Dot’s at a theatre near me in NJ, but then they magically disappeared. Ice Cream in the theatre is a must!!!!! I always complain when I go to the movies, because popcorn gets stuck in your teeth, and ice cream goes down so smooth and leaves you refreshed and happy! =) Please please please tell the Turkey Hill genius’ to impose an idea on the Theatres to include this tasty treat!!

My mother always used to say “I scream, Your scream, we all scream for ice cream.” Didn’t know where that came from, now I do. Thanks

Heck, ice cream at the movies would be a great idea!! But only if you served it in portion-size. And of course, only TH. If kids got a huge sundae, it would drip everywhere because a. they couldn’t finish it (not hungry enough) or b. they ate it too slow and it’s melting.

People who want TH Mint Chocolate Chip unite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I was a young girl and could go a Saturday afternoon matinee for 12 cents, I did enter an ice cream eating contest there and won 3rd prize!! I’m thinking that ice cream was available at the movies if that was the case. Can’t remember what the prize was but now that I’m old, I just savor every bite!!! Stinks to grow old, huh!!

I would go to the movies a lot more if they offered Turkey Hill ice cream during the show.

I think ice cream at a movie theater is an awesome idea. Movie theaters should have a soft serve sundae and cone option, along with popcorn. I think it would be way more popular than some of the things they currently sell such as quesadillas or nachos.

We also had BonBons in Queens. Yes the 4 did not last the whole movie and were probably finished by the end of the cartoon. But if you think about it a Hershey bar did not last long either.

back about 1954 my first job was to sell items to eat to passengers on the bus when the bus stopped at the bus station. I would take a box with ham sandwiches, cartons of milk and ice cream on a stick. I would walk down the bus seats and sell to the passengers. Ice cream usually sold out first. Many times I would still be selling when the driver decided it had been long enough, but he would let me off after a couple of blocks.( I wasnt suppose to be on bus doing this.) Made about 20 -30 dollars a day commission. Not bad for a kid 12 in 1954>

I remember back in the late 50′s eating Bon Bons in the Victory Theatre on Staten Island. They were small frozen balls of vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate, they were delicious and only cost 50 cents. I remember not wanting to share them with my brother because there were only 4 in a box. It was a real treat for us. We didn’t make a mess!!

It does have the potental to be a sticky mess. But weigh that against the fact that ice cream would probably sell VERY well in a movie theater. There are varieties of ice cream that wouldn’t make such a BIG mess, especially if served in small enough quantities as to be consumed right away. Like the the 99-cent 1/2 cup servings of Turkey Hill ice cream. I love those! Plus, for us health-conscious folks, you don’t end up splurging on the whole half-gallon at once… you’re sure to get just the one serving!

Ice Cream in the movie theater ? I love my ice cream but I definitely don’t want to be stepping in, or sitting on, someone else’s ice cream while watching a flick !.
A favorite memory of mine, back in the early ’40′s is going to the Lyric Theater in the 2400 block of Atlantic Ave, Atlantic City, NJ. The price for kids was only 10 cents. Afterwards we would go next door to get a triple dip waffle cone with marshmallow topping for 5 cents. Even then, I wondered how the guy could make a profit.

I say BRING ON the ice cream man! Why worry about kids getting sticky with ice cream? It is a small sacrifice for a portion of Tin Roof Sundae, no? It’s the perfect way to make a night out at the movies just right!

Despite my love for ice cream I don’t think I’d buy it at the movies. For starters in the summer they tend to blast the air conditioner which would definitely be a deterrent as far as I’m concerned. I also try NOT to buy snacks at the movies as they tend to be over priced. I’ll save my daily ice cream indulgence for the evening when I’m in bed.

I believe they sold ice cream at the drive in, or at least one of the 3 drive ins that we had in our area, back in the 60′s when I was a kid.

We now have an actual theater that sells ice cream cones, but I think most people get them after the show, they only have a 7 PM show during the week, and 2 shows on the weekend, family owned theater.

That would be great if ice cream could be served/sold in movie theaters. However, in order to have enough to last through part of the show, the serving size would have to be,(at least for me), a 1/2 gallon!! I would also have to go to the movie alone…..my wife would not appreciate my having that much at one sitting. Of course I would not tell her.Some things are better left unsaid.

I’d rather here a call for turkey hill ice cream than someone’s cell phone going off in the theater. Turkey Hill ice cream makes every viewing of a movie a premier experience.

Lets face it,, kids,, people in general, these days,, aren’t the same as they were back in our days. Ice cream being sold at the movies would definitely be a diaster. I’d rather eat my Turkey Hill ice cream at home, watching TV or just sitting out on the porch, enjoying a nice warm summer evening.

I could see it now kid’s throwing ice cream at each other, Mom’s yelling, Ice Cream on every seat,all over the floor. A sticky mess that’s what it would be.
I like to eat my ice cream at home . I like every flavor light Turkey Hill Ice Cream. (Peanut Butter Mania is awesome) At home I can have a 2nd bowl and share with my two dogs.

During Fresh Blueberry season in New jersey, My family and I but Turkey Hill Vanilla Ice Cream and mix it with Jersey fresh Bluberries. I then freeze it in serving size cups. It is so good to be able to have jersey bluberries later in the season. Other flavors of Thurkey hill ice cream mix well with blueberries also. Strawberry and blueberries are my Husbands favorite.

When I was growing up a long time ago, the Sat. matinee was for the kids. There were two movies,cartoons, a serial, news & coming attractions & a free ice cream bar.

Nice idea, but the ice cream would be gone before the movie started, it’s not a slow-eating treat!

I am a very lucky person.
I went to a theatre in Alexandria, VA that served ice cream sundaes.
I will always remember that experience,
a hot fudge sundae and the wedding singer.

I love that little ice cream man toy! Ice cream in the theater is a spectacular idea. Surely, it couldn’t create a mess any greater than the sodas, icees, candy etc. already sold.

I worked at DQ also, 15 years or so ago, and we also made and weighed all the novelties right there. They used to sell frozen bananas, they were, yes, you guessed it, frozen, and then dipped in chocolate and nuts or sprinkles, no actual ice cream, I guess, but they were delicious on top of some vanilla or just by themselves. I don’t think they make them anymore. You had to dip them very quickly to get the nuts or sprinkles on before the chocolate dried.

The ice cream truck is another wonderful memory. Boy, that was a big deal as a kid, to get a dollar for the ice cream man.

I heard his jingle near our street just last week…

We used to buy ice cream at the dollar matinee. Now it’s would be to messy the way they jam people in these smaller theatres. 35 years ago I worked at a DQ. We made all the novelties by hand. I dipped Dilly Bars and Buster Bars. We also made our own ice cream sandwiches. We used small scales to weigh everything. It’s much to time consuming for the faster pace now. Before that I worked at the corner diner. We would make real milkshakes. What was left in the tall stainless steel glass we would also give to the customer. Now it’s a flip of the switch and out comes the milkshake. Times sure have changed.

That’s a good idea. I’d buy ice cream in the theater but I’d have to buy popcorn too. I wonder if I could bring my own ice cream to the theater.
