ICE CREAM THIEF ON THE LOOSE!!!

Posted by: Turkey Hill Team

Now that ice cream month is over, it’s time to get down to business. We can start by nabbing an ice cream thief. Yes folks, someone in central Pennsylvania was so sad to see ice cream month end that according to the Patriot-News they stole “$300 in frozen treats after breaking into an ice cream truck in a lot off the 100 block of North Bedford Street in Carlisle.”

Carlisle is about half an hour from Lancaster. We need to catch this person before they strike again. If anyone has any tips about this horrible act (seriously!) call the police at 717-243-5252.

Hi Ernie.
I agree about fat Free ice Cream.
IT’S THE NO SUGAR ADDED PART THAT GETS ME.
WE DIABETICS NEED ADD ICE CREAM WITH “NO SUGAR”. AND THERE IS A TON OF US.
I EAT LOT OF TURKEY HILL ICE CREAM.

Just wanted to say I just tried your peaches and cream for the first time and it was delicious! Never saw such big slices of peaches in an ice cream before!

I love the Pineapple Upside Down Cake- I got some in January in Virginia- it is awesome. I bought all the German Chocolate Cake Ice Cream I could find in Martinsville, VA last Saturday-it’s awesome too!

GLENDA - Pineapple Upside Down Cake ice cream is our Limited Edition flavor for September (sorry, not low-fat, but it is very much worth the indulgence). Hopefully you’ll find it at any store that sells Turkey Hill ice cream.

If it’s not there, feel free to ask your freezer manager to order some. You’d be surprised at how often customer requests can lead to a product being stocked! Good luck!

Think I saw the thief selling spoons of ice cream for 25 cent a spoon full on the corner. Had people lined up for a block.

I am so sorry someone stole your ice cream. I know it is the best, but that is no excuse to steal. Hope you catch them and then celebrate with a big bowl of Turkey Hill.

Where can I find some of this delectable Pineapple Upside Down Cake Ice Cream everyone’s talking about??? I must try some!

As you know I buy TH like mad. I haven’t seen this flavor in the stores I shop and I encourage everyone I meet to only buy TH . Don’t waste your money on anything else.

SO, where can I buy that Pineapple upside down ice cream cake?
I make Pineapple upside down cake so we would love to try it.

TH..Pls advise.

What an extraordinary impluse to want to steal mass quantities of ICE CREAM? I mean, if you can eat it all before it melts you just end up with a big bellyache. No matter how good it is, moderation is key! Or if you’ve got the means to store that much ice cream, are you really so bad off that you can’t just purchase a bit?

Fascinating. There’s just no accounting for human nature. j

P.S. Where can I find some of this delectable Pineapple Upside Down Cake Ice Cream everyone’s talking about??? I must try some!

Unless they have a freezer in their car or truck,, I doubt they made it very far before they had a big puddle of ice cream,, with this heat! lol

your new ad campaign “so delicious it’s worth stealing” I guess that’d be a pretty sad ad campaign…

Now I’ve heard it all, stealing ice cream, what a crazy thing to do, what are they going to do with all that, it will probobley melt anyway, and it serves them right! It’s just pure stupid!


Kelly D wrote:

No Raymond , that would be too nice, he needs to be in a cell and be hot and sweating, WITHOUT ice cream!!
I live a few miles away from where it happened and when I saw it on the news was shoced. That truck is the owners livelyhood, how dare somebody do that to him. Maybe T Hill could help him by loading up his truck with T Hill items to sell, and get him back on the road!!

O.K. Here’s what we do with the thief after conviction. Place him in a cell completely made out of ice cream with 12″ walls. Give him/her a demitasse’ spoon and instructions as follows: Eat your way out and go to jail for only, say, 6 months. You will be monitored and if you start to “freeze up” you will be brought out, warmed up and then go to jail for whatever length of time the law specifies.(PS-rock hard ice cream walls)

We all love ice cream but that is over the top!! Catch that person and make him/her eat tofutti!!

That’s terrible, I guess people will do anything for their ice cream.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake Ice Cream??? I’ll have to keep an eye out for this one. Now, how about something with Coconut in it? I remember someone writing about German Chocolate Cake Ice Cream, but I never saw that one either. Can you tell I love Coconut?

ROBBIN - We’re so happy to hear that our ice cream can bring some comfort to your friend. That really does warm our hearts.

CAROLINE - Yes, we’ll be contacting the winners of the contest tomorrow and as soon as we hear back from them, we’ll list them here on the Ice Cream Journal. Look for that annoucement sometime next week. Good luck!

Dear Folks At Turkey Hill,
Thank-you! Your Duetto has been a life-saver. I have a friend in stage-4 cancer. When he goes through chemo-therapy the only thing he wants to eat for the 3 days following is Duetto. Soothing to his throat and stomach, it is literally all he eats for 3 days. Duetto has been a blessing. Thank-you so much.

That’s sad to hear. However, the pineapple upside down cake icecream sound awesome.


Caroline wrote:

In the early 60’s my now husband was a Good Humor Man between graduating college and going into the army. He worked on commission and any shortages came out of his earnings. Good Humor Ice Cream Trucks are no more. They are privately owned and can sell anything.

Your contest now has me checking your blogs even though I can no longer win a years suppy of TH. Are you going to list the winners here?


Carol wrote:

It really doesn’t surprise me at what some people would do. Are they calling him/her the Creamsicle Crook or Frozen Treat Filcher? Too bad they couldn’t catch him/her cold handed. :) Seriously I think it’s terrible. I think the people who drive the ice cream trucks work alot on commission. I hope the driver’s not held accountable for the loss. Hopefully they will catch that ice cream sandwich stealing scoundrel!!

The mad blood stirs in this heat.

Certainly, I hope lawbreakers are punished accordingly; but, you can’t blame them for wanting ice cream, I suppose.

The lengths to which people will go…

Pineapple-Upside-Down-Cake Ice Cream? Is it a low-fat version? Oh, my…

here at the library we wish this on book thieves:
Curse Against Book Stealers
Monastery of San Pedro, Barcelona

For him that stealeth a Book from this Library,
let it change into a serpent in his hand and rend him.
Let him be struck with Palsy, and all his Members blasted.
Let him languish in Pain crying aloud for Mercy and let there be no
sur-cease to his Agony till he sink in Dissolution.
Let Bookworms gnaw his Entrails in token of the Worm that dieth not,
and when at last he goeth to his final Punishment,
let the flames of Hell consume him for ever and aye.

IN THIS CASE
I HOPE ALL THE ICE CREAM MELTED BEFORE IT WAS SOLD.

How awful! Hope they have a gigantic freezer and definitely get caught. Can’t figure out what people are thinking when they do something like that.
