AMERICANS REALLY LOVE ICE CREAM
Posted by: Turkey Hill Team
Of course you knew that. But you might not have known that the United States is number two worldwide in per capita ice cream consumption. That’s right, we’re second. The good news is, we’re waaaay behind the number one country. That’s good news because if we want to take over the top spot, we’ll all need to eat a lot more ice cream to get there.
Below is a list of the top ice cream eating countries. Take note: we really should be watching out for Australia.
COUNTRYÂ Â Â Â LITERS PER CAPITAÂ
New Zealand    26.3
United States   18.7
Australia           17.8
Finland              13.9
Sweden             11.9
Canada               9.5
Italy                     9.2
Ireland                9.0
Denmark             8.7
United Kingdom 7.7
TODAY’S PRIZE: Two fun ice cream magnets (a soft serve cone and an ice cream sundae). Stick ‘em on your fridge. Stick ‘em on your car. Stick ‘em wherever they’ll stick. Except for the neighbors’ car…unless they really like ice cream.

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.

How is it calculated. are all included, babies, seniors,ect?????? I think we really eat more then them.
December 28th, 2007 at 3:12 pmMy favorite dessert is a combination of two Turkey Hill ice creams: first a huge glob of Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, followed by an equal portion of Tin Roof Sunday. That’s the BEST!
Hope those ice cream bowls are big enough.
December 26th, 2007 at 9:31 pmI’m enjoying a bowl of Fudge Ripple ice cream right now, just after finishing Christmas Eve dinner. Mmmmmm.
December 24th, 2007 at 6:51 pmTurkey Hill “The best ice cream and the only one for me” Yum Yum….
December 23rd, 2007 at 1:24 pmFACT: TURKEY HILL LOVES ME, AN AMERICAN
FACT: THEY WANT ME TO BE A GRAND PRIZE WINNER
FICTION: I AM A HOPELESS DREAMER
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:57 pmI am looking forward to being a possible winner of 52 weeks of ice cream – Happy New Year!
December 20th, 2007 at 5:25 pmI do my part.
December 19th, 2007 at 11:05 amWhat about Turkey Hill Orange Sherbert. A scoop with Vanilla ice cream is soooo refreshing and delicious.
December 19th, 2007 at 10:32 amI think the e-cone is fab.
December 19th, 2007 at 10:18 amI cannot believe we aren’t the #1 eaters of ice cream. I must be laying down on the job.
December 19th, 2007 at 10:15 amIce cream makes everyone happy!
December 19th, 2007 at 9:57 amI’m willing to do my part to help make America #1!
December 19th, 2007 at 8:08 amHow much more do we need to eat to get a bigger lead on Australia???????
My family does their part to help that survey……winning ice cream for a year will definently help!
December 19th, 2007 at 7:39 amWe raise our flags for all of our special events, lets raise our spoons to Turkey Hill Ice Cream, together we eat, divided we diet! Go Turkey Hill, GO!!!
December 19th, 2007 at 7:25 amI knew ice cream before Turkey Hill, but now I REALLY know ice cream. Thanks for all you do to keep up a beloved tradition.
December 19th, 2007 at 6:46 amIt’s time to beat New Zealand, eat more ice cream today!
December 19th, 2007 at 5:35 amI too believe that no day is complete without at least one serving of ice cream – just finished bowl # 2!!!
December 19th, 2007 at 3:13 amI think that ice cream is great no matter flavor, although everyone has thier fav’s, no matter what topping, ie.. chocolate chrunchies and strawberry syrup, my fav, or even how it’s eaten, cone or cup, driipping down your hand, or even a drop on your shirt, it’s always fun especially when you enjoy it with someone, but sometimes more fun alone so can totally pig out.
December 19th, 2007 at 1:37 amBet you can’t think of something better than Turkey Hill Ice Cream!
December 19th, 2007 at 1:06 amPrezels and ice cream, that’s a good combination. But, come to think about it, what isn’t the greater at the end of a meal than eating Turkey Hill ice cream!
December 19th, 2007 at 1:02 amThey can’t blame my family because we are #2. We would eat more except we are fat enough already.
December 19th, 2007 at 12:57 amNew Zealand’s numbers have to be wrong. Somebody’s not telling the truth.
December 19th, 2007 at 12:28 amI’m going to have an extra scoop so Australia doesn’t pass us. NZ has an advantage over us since I don’t think they have winters which slow us down. No too many buy ice cream at ski resorts
December 18th, 2007 at 11:48 pmwhat a cool idea
December 18th, 2007 at 11:06 pmI can’t think of anyone who doesn’t like ice cream. With all the possible flavors there has to be a likeable one for everyone. I like it plain in a dish so I can whip it up to make it like frozen custard.
December 18th, 2007 at 10:32 pmnow this is be the kind of challange i can get behind!!!! bring ‘em on
December 18th, 2007 at 10:23 pmThe more I read the blog the more hungrey I get .I am going for a bowl of ice cream I can’t take it any more!
December 18th, 2007 at 10:14 pmI knew there must be a reason (besides Peter Jackson) we like New Zealanders so much!
December 18th, 2007 at 9:50 pmGrab a spoon and dig in.
December 18th, 2007 at 9:20 pmI’ll enjoy every minute of eating my way to #1
come on people we need to start eating more ice cream
December 18th, 2007 at 9:03 pmice cream is my official diet!!!
December 18th, 2007 at 8:54 pmNew Zealand number 1. Who would have thought. We all need to eat lots more Turkey Hill to catch up. My family does its part. We eat Ice Cream every day.
December 18th, 2007 at 8:32 pmThe best kind of party is an ice cream sundae party. We used to have them every so often at one place I worked & it was always a hit.
December 18th, 2007 at 7:48 pmHard to believe USA is #2!! Think we should have a recount!!!
December 18th, 2007 at 7:47 pmIce cream is my absolute favorite dessert.
December 18th, 2007 at 7:36 pmI will be the #1 cheerleader for the USA.. Go team, eat more ice cream
December 18th, 2007 at 7:34 pmAs the commercial used to say “we’re number 2 so we try harder”. By reading all the blogs, it sounds like everyone is willing to try harder to eat more TH ice cream to become #1. Not a problem…glad to hep out!
December 18th, 2007 at 6:48 pmTime to up our stats!!!
December 18th, 2007 at 6:18 pmLooks like the Americans are going to have to eat some more ice cream!!!!!!
December 18th, 2007 at 5:46 pmFunny,isn’t it, that the cold areas eat more ice cream?
December 18th, 2007 at 5:28 pmDid you ever hear of a vegetarian diet? My daughters are on an ice cream diet. If it were up to them, they would eat it for every meal and every dessert!! They just can’t get enough!
December 18th, 2007 at 4:58 pmInteresting stats. Ok, Don-I laughed at your idea of substituting chocolate for coconut(from a previous entry) and calling them “mud balls!!”
December 18th, 2007 at 4:48 pmLove that Turkey Hill ice cream. We have a bowl every night and still can’t decide which one is our favorite.
December 18th, 2007 at 4:43 pm#2? c’mon guys , let’s eat more ice cream-preferably chocolate!
December 18th, 2007 at 3:35 pmc’mon guys-#2? let’s eat more ice cream!
December 18th, 2007 at 3:32 pmboy what is the population of New ZEaland compared to the us? I would think we would have more people and would eat more. Well I guess that means more ice cream for this household.
December 18th, 2007 at 3:05 pmIce cream, it is not just for dessert anymore, breakfast coffee is now my new use for ice cream.
December 18th, 2007 at 2:32 pmThis is NOT a surprise! Let’s all buy Turkey Hill ice cream and make those stats soar!
Blessings for Happy “Holy”days!
December 18th, 2007 at 2:28 pmTO ALL TURKEY HILL EMPLOYEES,MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
December 18th, 2007 at 1:37 pmFor a truly impressive dessert for Christmas, make a buche de noel (Christmas log cake), but substitute slightly softened vanilla (original or bean) Turkey Hill ice cream instead of the whipped cream. Reroll cake and quickly frost it w/ chocolate frosting. Pop into the freezer until serving time.
December 18th, 2007 at 1:30 pmUnlike a lot of you, I don’t eat ice cream every day. But when I do indulge, it’s Turkey Hill and it’s probably butter pecan and probably a large bowl. So I am doing my part!
December 18th, 2007 at 1:28 pmWe can always count on Turkey Hill
December 18th, 2007 at 12:48 pmto top off a holiday meal with one of
their delicious flavors. It’s a good
idea to keep several on hand to give
guests a choice…which is always hard,
since all are favorites of one of the
attendees!
I,ve tried other ice creams and by far turkey hill is the BEST!!!!!. I really enjoy it. I never knew that you had pumpkin flavor.That,s my favorite.
December 18th, 2007 at 12:44 pmIce Cream is my most favorite dessert but I’m glad to hear for healthy reasons that the U.S. isn’t the top consumer.
December 18th, 2007 at 12:35 pmMy husband helped make the stats. He has ice cream every night, whether it be in a dish or a milkshake. I’m sure he’ll enjoy helping to raise the stats.
December 18th, 2007 at 12:24 pmits never too cold for ice cream -just heat up a shot of brandy & pour over vanilla ice cream
December 18th, 2007 at 12:12 pmOk, I think for the good of our country I will have to eat lots of ice cream today!
December 18th, 2007 at 12:06 pmThanks for the information about the liters WOW!!!!
December 18th, 2007 at 12:00 pm…can’t understand second place…and I thought my husband held the world record!!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:54 amHi everyone! Just had a big bowl of Turkey Hill Black Cherry Ice Cream. Going for seconds, and maybe thirds. Hope there is enough. I just love it.
December 18th, 2007 at 11:49 amI am surprised we are number 2. I have always done more than my share to make us number 1.
December 18th, 2007 at 11:33 amI’m known by close friends and acquaintances for LOVING ice cream. In fact, our friends were visiting the other night with their son and his girlfriend that had never been to PA before. They introduced me to her like this: “This is Sherry, she loves ice cream!”
December 18th, 2007 at 11:20 amIt is nice to read comments from all those ice cream lovers. Janice thanks for the tip now I will look for a Rocky Road lover for my Vanilla loving son! Now I think I’ll have some vanilla tofortify my search. Is it too early for ice cream? It must be afternoon somewhere.USA#1
December 18th, 2007 at 11:13 amI love the bits of trivia I learn about ice cream…keep up the good work.
December 18th, 2007 at 11:06 amI wonder what the stats are on New Zealand’s obesity rate?
December 18th, 2007 at 10:55 amWe will increase our consumption to pass the Kiwis
December 18th, 2007 at 10:46 amI know with the right amount of determination and hot fudge sauce we can be number 1.
December 18th, 2007 at 10:42 amWell,them New Zealand’s,”sure must love eating ice-cream.”
December 18th, 2007 at 10:26 amWe can do it. EAT more Turkey Hill and beat New Zealand! Go USA
December 18th, 2007 at 10:25 amI am surprised that we are No 2. My family purchases 3 half gallons a week.
December 18th, 2007 at 10:12 amGive me butter brickle and I can move up the U.S. statistics real quick!!
December 18th, 2007 at 10:12 amI can’t believe we’re number 2! I always thought the US ate the most ice cream per capita.
December 18th, 2007 at 10:08 amAustralia will not pass us as we’ll be busy passing New Zealand!
December 18th, 2007 at 10:03 ami love eating ice cream with whipped cream on top.
December 18th, 2007 at 9:50 amI’ll Help! I’ll Help!!!
December 18th, 2007 at 9:50 amNevermind watching Australia, lets just eat more ice cream and overtake New Zealand.
December 18th, 2007 at 9:49 amI wonder why New Zealand, of all countries consumes so much ice cream? That is interesting. I know my family and especially my Siberian Husky are doing our part in helping USA try to take over the number 1 spot!
December 18th, 2007 at 9:44 amI do my part too eat a lot of ice cream!
December 18th, 2007 at 9:43 amI love ice cream but when you have diabetes, ice cream is a wonderful rare treat. My husband makes up for what I can’t eat. He is in another zone when he eats ice cream. Loves Turkey Hill!!!
December 18th, 2007 at 9:41 amThose magnets would look very nice on frig. with my other collection of magnets.
Unfortunately, the U.S. is also very high (if not #1) in obsesity. But us ice cream devotees can do our part to raise our ranking by indulging in lighter Turkey Hill ice cream and eating smaller portions. Go USA!
December 18th, 2007 at 9:34 amOops, I said HAD but meant HAS. He is still alive and kicking and would not miss his lunch dessert of Turkey Hill!
December 18th, 2007 at 9:29 amWe love our nightly dish of ice cream…any flavor.
December 18th, 2007 at 9:28 amMy husband had a bowl of Turkey Hill every day after his lunch. Turkey Hill is his brand of choice.
December 18th, 2007 at 9:27 amNew Zealand…who would have thought?
December 18th, 2007 at 9:26 amMy husband eats enough ice cream to put us over the top 8:)
December 18th, 2007 at 9:22 amI thought for sure the U.S. would be #1?? Interesting statistics.
December 18th, 2007 at 9:21 amThey must eat ice cream w/ every meal in New Zealand.
December 18th, 2007 at 9:12 amI will try much harder.
Good morning Between my wife and myself we should set up a good race to catch New Zeland We love the Turkey Hill Was wondering if you ever thought about doing pop sickles I do like them but have to get another brand Have a nice holliday to every one at Turkey Hill
December 18th, 2007 at 9:09 amI love magnets. Bring on the ice cream with BAILEYS, way to go.
December 18th, 2007 at 9:05 amGuess we’ll have to step up the ice cream consumption here, lol!
December 18th, 2007 at 9:02 amI will gladly eat more ice cream to become number one Let’s go
December 18th, 2007 at 8:51 amI LOVE MOOSE TRACKS ICE CREAM. MMM GIMMY MORE GIMMY MORE???!!!!!>>>>>>

December 18th, 2007 at 8:37 amI love magnets – and I definitely need some for my new fridge. Please enter me!!
December 18th, 2007 at 8:37 amBeing a heart patient who has ice cream every evening, I prefer the the low and no fat varities. Used to be a Healthy Choice purchaser but they no longer make ice cream; I guess Turkey Hill put them out of business in our area.
December 18th, 2007 at 8:04 amIf there were a poll of the top ice cream eating households in the USA, mine would be in the top 10% !
December 18th, 2007 at 7:56 amI love ice cream – would love to have the magnets.
December 18th, 2007 at 7:49 amIce Cream ! Ice Cream ! We all love our Ice Cream. With the flavors you have, it won’t be long before the good old U.S. of A. is on top. Best ice cream ever!!!
December 18th, 2007 at 7:32 amI eat ice cream every evening and so does my Scottie Dog!
December 18th, 2007 at 7:31 amMy sisters firend Beth had a party two summers ago when she moved to a new home in the country. She invited all the neighbors over for an old fashioned ice cream social (& bbq). It was such a hit, she had old friends there, made new friends, and let everyone see their new home in the country. She decorated for the party with all kinds of americana signs of the good old days. Her kitchen was set up like a general store, and she even had penny candy. She provided the pennies too! But for the older people there, it was quite a treat they ordered from the counter just like they did when they were kids. The younger people just giggled and made their own sundaes. The toppings you pick tell a lot about a person…
December 18th, 2007 at 7:09 amInteresting stats. I shared them with my husband and we were both surprised.
December 18th, 2007 at 6:58 amIce cream is our favorite dessert.
I bet we would be #1 if everyone had a pint of Turkey Hill! Thanks for making the most delicious ice cream on the planet.
December 18th, 2007 at 6:32 amNEW ZEALAND MAYBE #1 IN ICE CREAM EATING COUNTRY “BUT” TURKEY HILL IS THE REAL #1
December 18th, 2007 at 4:51 amALL OVER THE WORLD, IN MY BOOK!
If everyone ate Turkey Hill, I am sure the United States would be the number one consumers!
December 18th, 2007 at 4:07 amVerrry interesting?
December 18th, 2007 at 3:45 amI wonder why New Zealand, a country smaller than US can eat so much more ice cream?
Fun, I love food magnets!!!
December 18th, 2007 at 2:17 amRegretfully, since Coconut Creme Pie is not a regular flavor I purchased Original Vanilla and Butter Pecan today. Although it was delicious and I really enjoyed both of them along with my Homemade Chocolate Pound Cake and my Coconut Pineapple layer cake I would be on Cloud 9 right about now if I had some Coconut Creme Pie.
December 18th, 2007 at 2:14 amDon’t export Turkey Hill to Australia. They might beat the U.S. then.
December 18th, 2007 at 2:02 amI can’t believe USA is not tops in the survey. Let’s retake that survey, it must be wrong. I love the Turkey Hill Cones also, especially the vanilla ones. My freezer is never without two kinds of Turkey Hill ice cream in it. Go, Go, Go USA – eat more ice cream.
December 18th, 2007 at 1:14 am18 liters… is that all? I am waaaay above average!
December 18th, 2007 at 1:14 amCome on USA let’s eat more ice cream! We want to be #1.
December 18th, 2007 at 12:18 amLet’s get eating!
December 18th, 2007 at 12:11 amI like peppermint when it’s cold outside.
December 18th, 2007 at 12:04 amso good
December 18th, 2007 at 12:01 amYES , WE IN THE GOOD OLE USA DO LOVE ICE CREAM …MY HUSBAND CAN PROVE THAT FACT BY THE FACT THAT I HAVE TO BUY AND HIDE SEVERAL HALF GALLONS OF TURKEY HILL AND HIDE MORE THAN TWO OF THEM TO EVEN GET A FEW SCOOPS MYSELF! HIS PANTS SIZE HAS INCREASED AND I GUESS ITS GOOD FOR ME , CAUSE MINE HASN’T!!!!but what is up with new zealand …how could they be so far ahead of us in ice cream consumption??? do they have alot of cows there or what??????????? happy holidays ! don’t forget the egg nog flavor !!! it rocks elizabeth
December 18th, 2007 at 12:01 amturkey hill is so good
December 18th, 2007 at 12:00 amI just love the ease and the satisfaction that I receive from a simple bowl of ice cream!
December 17th, 2007 at 11:49 pmI almost feel like I’m back in Venice when I’m eating your Lemon Duetto!
December 17th, 2007 at 11:45 pmI will do what I can to get us to #1. I hope “ice cream” includes yogurt and sherbert? Thanks again for the great job you are doing.
December 17th, 2007 at 11:44 pmWell I am doing my part to help us become number one.
December 17th, 2007 at 11:21 pmI eat at least a gallon a week.
December 17th, 2007 at 11:15 pmLet’s have a ice cream party.
December 17th, 2007 at 11:14 pmPremium ice cream in all sorts of flavors
Coffee and chocolate are two that I savor
Count on rum raisin to help bring some zing
These are a few of my favorite things
Turkey Hill has caused quite the “commotion”
Giant fudge ripples that should be in an ocean,
Party cake frosting is fit for a king,
These are a few of my favorite things
Delicious Duettos in lemon and mango
Scruptious sherbet in the form of a rainbow
Frozen yogurt selections that make my mouth sing
These are a few of my favorite things
When the pants fit
December 17th, 2007 at 11:13 pmA little too tight
And I’m feeling sad,
I just turn to Skinny Minty,
Indulge in the taste
And then I don’t feeeeeel,
So bad!
Let’s all do our part in making US number 1.
December 17th, 2007 at 11:13 pmYour galloping red cow is funny. Today is my 65th birthday, but we didn’t have any ice cream in the house. It would be fun to win some.
December 17th, 2007 at 11:01 pmBarbara K.
What’s with New Zealand, can hardly believe they could be so far ahead on ice cream.
December 17th, 2007 at 10:56 pmI like anything with chocolate, cookies and cream and coffee flavor!
December 17th, 2007 at 10:52 pmI wonder what they put in the ice cream in NZ!!
December 17th, 2007 at 10:34 pmwe’re doing are part to push up those stats. Wonder if they count all the varied ways we eat icecream … like the individual serve portions purchased anywhere from sports events to school vending machines.
December 17th, 2007 at 10:30 pmWell, we all will have to start eating more ice cream. We can’t be beat out by Australia! Happy Eating everyone!
December 17th, 2007 at 10:28 pmGreat source of bone strenghtening
December 17th, 2007 at 10:21 pmcalcium. Just another reason why we
should eat more ice cream.
do you know which flavor is the best seller in new zealand??
December 17th, 2007 at 10:17 pmWell I better start eating more Ice Cream because the USA should always be #1 in everything !!
December 17th, 2007 at 10:17 pmNew Zealand? Come on. What’s its population, anyhow. I know I’m doing my part to up the consumption.
December 17th, 2007 at 10:06 pmI am moving to New Zealand. They have their act in order!
December 17th, 2007 at 10:04 pmI scream,
December 17th, 2007 at 9:53 pmYou scream,
We all scream for Turkey Hill ice cream.
I don’t feel so guilty eating so much ice cream now, we’re not #1….I’ll do my part to remediate the situation! Make Cocconut Creme Pie a full-time flavor & I’ll have no problem. 7.6 liters x __ (how many people in the US??)…gotta go & start eating!
December 17th, 2007 at 9:48 pmYour Fried Ice Cream is the best. I love it! Please keep it on the market.
December 17th, 2007 at 9:47 pmYou’d think the southern hemisphere would have more countries represented. Nothing like ice cream on a hot day.
December 17th, 2007 at 9:46 pmWho knew New Zealanders could eat so much ice cream! What is the population of New Zealand anyway?
December 17th, 2007 at 9:45 pmVery good for the states.
December 17th, 2007 at 9:40 pmhummmm both New Zealand and Australia have Christmas in the Summer …. of course they have an advantage with all the parties going on …. We better get Christmas in July going here in the USA so we have BIG gatherings to eat more ice cream!!!!
December 17th, 2007 at 9:40 pmNew Years Resolution:
Eat More Ice Cream!
December 17th, 2007 at 9:39 pmNew Zealand is not a melting pot as the United States. Therefore it will difficult for the US to overtake New Zealand.
December 17th, 2007 at 9:38 pmGo Usa Go !!! Eat more Ice Cream !!!!!
December 17th, 2007 at 9:31 pmI will try to help make the USA #1 in ice cream consumption!
December 17th, 2007 at 9:29 pmHooray for New Zealand. Happy to see we are not number 1.
December 17th, 2007 at 9:28 pmWayne Hoffman

December 17th, 2007 at 9:26 pmI’m going to Europe for the holidays. Much as I’ll miss my favorite, I’m NOT sharing our Turkey Hill!!
December 17th, 2007 at 9:25 pmWow !! I would never believe that we were not first !!We eat alot of ice cream in our house but I’m sure my kids would happily eat more if allowed.
December 17th, 2007 at 9:25 pmI’m obviously waaaaaay delinquent here….
December 17th, 2007 at 9:19 pmMy favorite way to eat ice cream is on the front porch watching fire flys

December 17th, 2007 at 8:26 pmWhoa look at New Zealand!
December 17th, 2007 at 8:23 pmI am certainly helping with the ice cream consumption – I am soooo faithful to Turkey Hill butter pecan – my absolute favorite!
December 17th, 2007 at 8:10 pmI’m floored!!! I would never have thought New Zealanders would eat more ice cream then people in the good ole USA! I’ll just have to pump up my consumption!
December 17th, 2007 at 8:05 pmAnother reason to love the holidays – Turkey Hill Egg Nog Ice Cream!!!
December 17th, 2007 at 8:02 pmI guess I just gotta eat more ice cream….we should be #1 !!!!!
December 17th, 2007 at 7:52 pmNew Zealand is awesome, flight of the conchords!
December 17th, 2007 at 7:51 pmYou have to be an alien if you don’t love ice cream, especially delicious Turkey Hill ice crem!
December 17th, 2007 at 7:49 pmThats OK. More ice cream for me!!
December 17th, 2007 at 7:48 pmWow I would have thought USA would have beat all odds!! I can’t believe your giving away magnets!!! That’s right up my alley!! I have one TH magnet at the moment, and I’d love to start a collection. Ice Cream & Nursing is my passion. My patients are always excited for their ice cream treat after dinner!! TH rocks!! Keep up the creative work! And how about those TH ice cream cakes for the future!!
December 17th, 2007 at 7:28 pmeat a large bowl of great tasting ice cream.
December 17th, 2007 at 7:27 pmMyself and my family all love turkey hill ice cream. It rocks.
December 17th, 2007 at 7:24 pmInteresting that cold countries like Finland are way up there in consumption
December 17th, 2007 at 7:19 pmAs long as Turkey Hill makes ice cream, my family will do its part to push the USA into 1st place.
December 17th, 2007 at 7:17 pmI’m not surprised that so many ‘cold’ countries are high on the list. I tend to eat more ice cream during the cold winter months up here in New England!
December 17th, 2007 at 7:14 pmHmmmm! I’ll take the duetto turkey hill ice cream. The mango and vanilla is great…..
December 17th, 2007 at 7:12 pmWe should be Number 1.
December 17th, 2007 at 7:10 pmBecause we are all eating Turkey Hill Ice Cream. The Best!!
Hubby says Rocky Road is the best…we are now in an all out war….
December 17th, 2007 at 7:06 pmI will increase my intake of the Moose Tracks Lite….It is the best !!!!
December 17th, 2007 at 7:05 pmEat more Ice Cream –
December 17th, 2007 at 7:04 pmespecially Turkey Hill!
Coffee has a flavor that some prefer hot
But Turkey Hill Coffee Ice Cream is what I like a lot!
,
December 17th, 2007 at 6:49 pmI would love to win today’s prize-I kind of collect fridge magnets and those that remind me of Turkey Hill Ice Cream??? (Not that I need prompting!) What could be better?
December 17th, 2007 at 6:49 pmThe USA is way up there! We all love Turkey Hill. Somebody has to do it!!
December 17th, 2007 at 6:41 pmI wonder what the favorite flavor in New Zealand is.
December 17th, 2007 at 6:41 pmIt would be great to compare ice cream recipes.
December 17th, 2007 at 6:37 pm…”on the 4th day of ice cream turkey hill gave to me 4 ice cream magnets, 3 spaghetti ice cream makers, 2 cuisipro ice cream sandwich makers and the book “everybody loves ice cream”"….
December 17th, 2007 at 6:17 pmHow did New Zealand become #1 in consuming ice cream??
Ice cream, who needs it? I do, I do. I eat Turkey Hill almost every night. TV wouldn’t be the same without it. I don’t think I’ve ever met a person who said they didn’t like ice cream. Not only that, my dogs are addicted. Every night after their dinner they get a scoop of frozen yogurt.
December 17th, 2007 at 6:13 pmI bet if we all try really, really hard (and that’s easy to do with Turkey Hill ice cream!) we can be # 1 next year! Yeah!!!
December 17th, 2007 at 6:09 pmWho in the USA is not doing their part? With low calorie / fat free ice cream, that tastes VERY VERY good, there is no excuse …… start eating ice cream every day.
December 17th, 2007 at 5:58 pmDo kangaroos like ice cream?
December 17th, 2007 at 5:54 pmWhat are those stats? Gallons per person per year? I must have missed that.
We help the stats, no doubt. Wow, New Zealanders can really put it away!
December 17th, 2007 at 5:54 pmAnd this American, living in MA, but raised in Lancaster, PA loves her Turkey Hill Ice Cream!!
December 17th, 2007 at 5:49 pmThose Australians are tricky folks.
December 17th, 2007 at 5:48 pmNew Zealand? Huh, who’d a thunk?
December 17th, 2007 at 5:46 pmI CAN’T BELIEVE WE’RE NOT #1!!!!!!!!!!
December 17th, 2007 at 5:17 pmI’ve been to Finland three times and they too love ice cream [jaatelo]. We are eating Turkey Hill to move the USA up but it will be hard to beat New Zealand. Love the cookies n cream. My husband tries everything!
December 17th, 2007 at 5:12 pmI tend to think of New Zealand and Australia as “most like” the US in culture. The big surprise though, is Finland placing so high!
December 17th, 2007 at 5:11 pmShocking statistics — who knew?!?
December 17th, 2007 at 5:08 pmWow, I’d have thought we were first. Guess I’ll have to start eating more Turkey Hill, and help move us up!
December 17th, 2007 at 5:06 pmIt’s nice to see so many people are willing to do their part to make America the NUMBER ONE ice cream eating nation in the world. If you keep eating ice cream, we’ll certainly help out by continuting to make it!!
December 17th, 2007 at 5:04 pmI would like to help our great nation become #1!!!
December 17th, 2007 at 5:01 pmThank you for this opportunity! Our family of six is almost keeping you in business ourselves—–we all eat Turkey Hill ice cream daily.
December 17th, 2007 at 5:00 pmI try to do my part. I have some ice cream almost every day. I would love to see Death by Chocolate back as a limited edition ice cream.
December 17th, 2007 at 4:49 pmmakes my mouth water, Turkey Hill is so good,
December 17th, 2007 at 4:38 pmLove ice cream
December 17th, 2007 at 4:24 pmLet’s get behind the voting for Southern Lemon Pie Ice Cream.
December 17th, 2007 at 4:18 pmThere is always room for ice cream!!!
Grandchildren would really like those magnets to play with! It isn’t a holiday unless theirs Ice Cream-Turkey Hill prefered!
December 17th, 2007 at 4:16 pmI’d like to include Chocolate Cherry Cordial Frozen Yogurt on the list of favorite flavors….. It’s a whole, delicious sundae straight out of the container!
December 17th, 2007 at 4:15 pmIll help try to help the US to first…Yummy in my tummy.
December 17th, 2007 at 4:13 pmI would love to be today’s ice cream winner.
December 17th, 2007 at 4:11 pmIt makes sense that New Zealand is so high… They have so much farm land!
December 17th, 2007 at 4:02 pmI’m shocked that Canada is so low. I must be carrying it all on my back! lol
Diane, blueberries and cream sounds like it would make a great flavor.
December 17th, 2007 at 3:58 pmI must be the King of New Zealand!
December 17th, 2007 at 3:58 pmPeaches and Cream must be good. It’s leading the poll. I was never able to find it this past year- maybe that’s why.
December 17th, 2007 at 3:57 pmDawn, I think both Fried Ice Cream and Coconut Creme Pie are on the limited edition slate for 2008.
December 17th, 2007 at 3:56 pmI’m surprised we aren’t #1.
December 17th, 2007 at 3:54 pmIT WOULD BE FANTASTIC TO SEE THE
December 17th, 2007 at 3:53 pmCOCONUT CREME PIE AND THE FRIED
ICE CREAM BACK!!!!!!
P.S. EVERYONE START EATING MORE ICE
CREAM. THE U.S.A.NEEDS TO BE #1….
My family would have no problem eating more to grab the #1 spot.
December 17th, 2007 at 3:51 pmBeing #2 isn’t soooooo bad. We all just need to eat more “ICE CREAM”. So grab your favorite flavor & a spoon. Bet you’re smiling!!!!!!!
December 17th, 2007 at 3:51 pmInteresting statistics ! If I had to guess why New Zealand eats more ice cream it would be that there isn’t as much to do there, so they eat more. Just a guess!
December 17th, 2007 at 3:48 pmWow! If NZ is that far ahead of us, how much ice cream does the average person eat in a day?
December 17th, 2007 at 3:41 pmAlthought is it cold outside my husband and I still enjoy our ice cream treats during television time. I was wondering if there would ever be an ice cream with blueberries and cream, my favorite.
Hope so!!!!!
December 17th, 2007 at 3:35 pmTurkey Hill Ice Cream makes me
December 17th, 2007 at 3:34 pmsmile…a lot!
Hi,
Although it is cold outside my husband and I still have our nightly ice cream. My husband likes anything with fruit like strawberries, I am a coffee ice cream person. I have a suggestion for a new ice cream–I love blueberries and cream.
December 17th, 2007 at 3:34 pmchocolate peanut butter ice cream – - what else would you need??
December 17th, 2007 at 3:32 pmI can literally count on one hand the number of days in the past 12 years at least the number of days I’ve NOT had a mug of ice cream at night and most of those were the births of my children.
December 17th, 2007 at 3:31 pmIf everyone ate as much ice cream as I do I’m sure we’d be well past New Zealand.
December 17th, 2007 at 3:30 pmTurkey Hill ice cream is delicious – I love it!
December 17th, 2007 at 3:28 pmTurkey Hill ice cream is delicious – love it!
December 17th, 2007 at 3:27 pmWe’ll have to have a bit of ice cream tonight instead of holiday cookies.
December 17th, 2007 at 3:24 pmI do my part – especially in the winter…go figure!!!
December 17th, 2007 at 3:22 pmwhere’s turkey hill low carb ice cream???? can’t find it anywhere’s anymore!!!!
December 17th, 2007 at 3:13 pmI want to thank Turkey Hill for being so great to all the children and donating ice cream to the 2 Children homes in my area.Thank you so much.You have group of great folks there.We still eat it all the time and look forward to new flavors.We always tell people to try Turkry Hill. If I see someone in store trying to decide what ice cream to buy I tell them about Turkey Hill and if I have an extra coupon I offer it just to help them along with their choice of ice cream.Thank you again.
December 17th, 2007 at 3:07 pmThis is very interesting considering “how fat” Americans are. Oh well I will still eat my ice cream. Let’s make the US #1.
December 17th, 2007 at 3:05 pmUSA! USA! USA!
December 17th, 2007 at 3:03 pmhave been eating ice cream forever and will coninue to do so till i`m gone hope it helps raise are numbers
December 17th, 2007 at 2:58 pmwow! I would’ve guessed the US would’ve had the highest number.
December 17th, 2007 at 2:57 pmWonder why New Zealand eats the most?
December 17th, 2007 at 2:57 pmwho knew that new zealand and australia consumed so much ice cream. it is news to me.
December 17th, 2007 at 2:56 pmIce cream is great anytime of the day. It makes a great breakfast food.
December 17th, 2007 at 2:55 pmif TH is in lancaster county, PA, in the Eastern time zone, why are the times posted on this blog as if we’re in the Atlantic time zone?
December 17th, 2007 at 2:45 pmAgain, the grand prize would be of great influence for our family to do our part…
December 17th, 2007 at 2:44 pmanyone else notice that the majority of those countries are in mostly cold weather climates? don’t folks in warm countries eat ice cream to cool off?
December 17th, 2007 at 2:43 pmwait ’til tell my teenagers it will be their patriotic “duty” to scarf down a second bowl of ice cream every night! Just so the USA can beat NZ. Think they’ll mind?
December 17th, 2007 at 2:33 pmi am up to twice a day bowls of cherry vanilla.i am trying,
December 17th, 2007 at 2:32 pmWe have nothing to fear from the Aussies. We will continue to out eat them any day
December 17th, 2007 at 2:26 pmI’m surprised not to find my onetime home of Jamaica in the top 10–based on my fond Foreign Service memories (from the 1980s), when my now-brother-in-law’s British mother made the best soursop ice cream I’ve ever tasted (among many local flavors, I regret to say, that never seemed to thrive elsewhere)–”Bunty” (Ursula) later sold the business but the memories certainly survive! Jamaica, soon come …
December 17th, 2007 at 2:21 pmIf you include gelato, etc., are the percentages per capita still the same? No need to respond, just thought that made Italy higher on the list.
Just DON’T put the magnets on a friend’s computer! They’d be fun on a refrigerator though.
December 17th, 2007 at 2:16 pmI do my part too!!
December 17th, 2007 at 2:15 pmConsidering that both New Zealand and Australia are warm weather climates, I think that the USA does well to place in the top three — especially with all of this wintry weather we’ve been having in the Northeast! Those 25 degree temperatures don’t stop us in Boston from eating our fair share of Turkey Hill!
December 17th, 2007 at 2:14 pmVanilla Bean is my favorite!
December 17th, 2007 at 2:13 pmLove your ice cream and your calendar.
December 17th, 2007 at 2:09 pmI’m sure if I eat 5 gallons of Ice Cream a day we’ll catch up to New Zealand.
December 17th, 2007 at 1:58 pmI don’t know if those figures are correct. Maybe they haven’t gotten my grocery receipts yet for ice cream. We have 6 kids and Ice Cream is a must for my freezer. Have you ever had a 1 year old keep going eh eh eh at the freezer after having ice cream for the 1st time?Very fun. Merry Christmas.
December 17th, 2007 at 1:48 pmInteresting, because at this moment according to the population clock… the estimated resident population of New Zealand is 4,250,150 and for the United States it is 303,615,130. So, not every United States resident is eating their share of ice cream!!!!
December 17th, 2007 at 1:45 pmI can’t believe USA isn’t No.1, the way Americans over-indulge in everything. T. Hill, thanks for the calender!!
December 17th, 2007 at 1:41 pmWe live on a Dairy Farm and love to eat ice cream. We try to use our own milk to make homeade ice cream every now and then. However, nothing compares to Turkey Hill Ice Cream. That is all we buy!
December 17th, 2007 at 1:39 pmWhy not hold a timed ice cream eating contest similar to the one they do for hot dogs or other foods! Actually,I thought Italy would be further up the list with its Gelato.
December 17th, 2007 at 1:39 pmThe way my family eats ice cream we should be #1 in no time.
December 17th, 2007 at 1:36 pmHey what are the chances of an Olympic team being formed to help the USA get that #1 spot? Just in case I’ll go start training now, ice cream here I come!!!!!
December 17th, 2007 at 1:30 pmwow that is a lot of ice cream..we have it every night in our house..Hubby always has seconds too..
December 17th, 2007 at 1:25 pmI think we should have the ice cream olympics..
I’ll be doing my part and eating more to bring us up to number one!
December 17th, 2007 at 1:21 pmUSA USA USA!
I am willing to do my part to eat a lot more ice cream so we can be number 1!!
December 17th, 2007 at 1:20 pmit’s really hard to believe the US is not first in ice cream..i mean we really do eat alot of it..especially at my house. tan just loves it
December 17th, 2007 at 1:06 pmThere’s no way we can be #2, not with the amount of ice cream I ‘force’ myself to eat. Someone has obviously tampered with the data and skewed the results to gain this highly prestigious position.
December 17th, 2007 at 12:47 pmHmmm, I wonder if they have kiwi ice cream in New Zealand?
December 17th, 2007 at 12:46 pmIf you would sell Turkey Hill worldwide the stats would skyrocket..
December 17th, 2007 at 12:44 pmThanks for the calendar and coupons.
December 17th, 2007 at 12:43 pmI love ice cream and Turkey has the best variety of flavors ever. Recently, I was told to cut out my ice cream and loose 20 pounds. I couldn’t do that, but I did change over to frozen yogurt and lost 9 pounds in a month. Thank you for the variety of flavors.
December 17th, 2007 at 12:38 pmMMMmmmmMMMM love me some ice cream!! Apparently they didn’t pool my family!
December 17th, 2007 at 12:36 pmThose Brits are too thin…now we know why…they haven’t tasted Turkey Hill ice cream…I don’t dare buy any other brand in our home…let’s get a Turkey Hill store over to the UK…..FAST!
December 17th, 2007 at 12:33 pmBring on the hot fudge & wet walnuts!!!
December 17th, 2007 at 12:27 pmYUM YUM EAT-EM UP!!!
I do my share! I eat ice cream everyday, more than once a day! and i’m getting fat to prove it!
December 17th, 2007 at 12:26 pmI do more than my share of ice cream consumption..glad to help out.
December 17th, 2007 at 12:25 pmLet’s get eating!
December 17th, 2007 at 12:24 pmIf YOU LOVE Vanilla
There is nothing plain about Vanilla. In fact, if you love Vanilla, you are actually a colorful, dramatic risk taker who relies more on intuition than logic. Emotionally expressive and idealistic, you tend to set high goals for yourself, and push yourself to meet and exceed them. On the romantic front, you tend to rely on secure romantic relationships that fulfill your emotional needs while working toward future objectives.
Romantic Compatibility: You are most romantically compatible with those who prefer Rocky Road.
December 17th, 2007 at 12:22 pmI do my part by eating ice cream almost every day. However, portion size is key to keeping down my weight. Use a small bowl and it will look like more. Moderation is important. If more people ate even small portions of Turkey Hill ice cream every day, we’d all be happier. It will be hard to catch New Zealand, though.
December 17th, 2007 at 12:20 pmI have to agree to Nancy Z G’s post. Southern Lemon Pie was just so gooood! Very Tastey indeed. Brought back memories of my Mommas’ pies when I was young.
December 17th, 2007 at 12:14 pmLet’s join together and fight the delicious fight by eating more icecream. Go USA Go.
December 17th, 2007 at 12:11 pmGood catch Charity. The numbers are “liters per capita” (we’ll make the change to the entry).
December 17th, 2007 at 12:04 pmWell now, if this is truly the case… I will have to step up to the plate and eat MORE ice cream. I mean, hey- we all have to do our part. Go USA!!!
December 17th, 2007 at 12:03 pmLET’S START BOOSTING UP THOSE NUMBERS!
December 17th, 2007 at 12:01 pmHard to believe. I thought my contribution alone would put us #1.
December 17th, 2007 at 12:00 pmThis is the wrong comment to make here (it certainly won’t help me win a prize), but it would be interesting to match this list with the per capita rates of diabetes in each of those countries. Hopefully there wouldn’t be any correlation, especially since I am diabetic and love ice cream.
December 17th, 2007 at 11:59 amI was wondering where the stats came from? Did someone actually record all the consumption of ice cream within a year? I think that it is deff “cool” that we are number 2..
December 17th, 2007 at 11:53 amThanks for the recipes. I like Ice Cream
December 17th, 2007 at 11:53 amall kinds of ways!
Looking forward to Southern Lemon Pie
December 17th, 2007 at 11:51 amIce Cream coming again. It is soooooo
delicious.
So what exactly are the numbers… 18.7 million people , million gallons etc?????? Wow though New Zealand is number one. Very intresting. Thanks for the tidbit But I really would like to know what the numbers stand for. THanks
December 17th, 2007 at 11:40 amI do my part.
December 17th, 2007 at 11:29 amI know I’ll be helping the stats because I eat ice cream every day.
