AMERICANS REALLY LOVE ICE CREAM

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.

COUNTRY    LITERS PER CAPITA 

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.

    I know I’ll be helping the stats because I eat ice cream every day.

  2. Lori D says:

    I do my part.

  3. Charity Ickes says:

    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

  4. Nancy Z G says:

    Looking forward to Southern Lemon Pie
    Ice Cream coming again. It is soooooo
    delicious.

  5. Nancy Z G says:

    Thanks for the recipes. I like Ice Cream
    all kinds of ways!

  6. Dayle Wright says:

    I 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..

  7. Barry Kauffman says:

    This 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.

  8. Chip Mueller says:

    Hard to believe. I thought my contribution alone would put us #1.

  9. NELSON R.L. says:

    LET’S START BOOSTING UP THOSE NUMBERS!

  10. Grrraymoo says:

    Well 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!!!

  11. Turkey Hill Team says:

    Good catch Charity. The numbers are “liters per capita” (we’ll make the change to the entry).

  12. Prisscialla says:

    Let’s join together and fight the delicious fight by eating more icecream. Go USA Go.

  13. Michael says:

    I 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.

  14. Beth Katz says:

    I 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.

  15. Janice says:

    If 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.

  16. renee says:

    Let’s get eating!

  17. Michelle says:

    I do more than my share of ice cream consumption..glad to help out.

  18. shari says:

    I do my share! I eat ice cream everyday, more than once a day! and i’m getting fat to prove it!

  19. colleen says:

    Bring on the hot fudge & wet walnuts!!!
    YUM YUM EAT-EM UP!!!

  20. Cathy Y. says:

    Those 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!

  21. Mel says:

    MMMmmmmMMMM love me some ice cream!! Apparently they didn’t pool my family!

  22. Lucy Black says:

    I 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.

  23. Tony Huang says:

    Thanks for the calendar and coupons.

  24. Scott Starr says:

    If you would sell Turkey Hill worldwide the stats would skyrocket..

  25. Nancy K says:

    Hmmm, I wonder if they have kiwi ice cream in New Zealand?

  26. Dave B says:

    There’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.

  27. lori and john says:

    it’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

  28. Kathy Silva says:

    I am willing to do my part to eat a lot more ice cream so we can be number 1!!

  29. Gianna says:

    I’ll be doing my part and eating more to bring us up to number one!
    USA USA USA!

  30. Dorothy says:

    wow that is a lot of ice cream..we have it every night in our house..Hubby always has seconds too..
    I think we should have the ice cream olympics..

  31. Rosa Amato says:

    Hey 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!!!!!

  32. Gloria says:

    The way my family eats ice cream we should be #1 in no time.

  33. irene says:

    Why 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.

  34. Lesher's Dairy says:

    We 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!

  35. Kelly D says:

    I can’t believe USA isn’t No.1, the way Americans over-indulge in everything. T. Hill, thanks for the calender!!

  36. Cindy P. says:

    Interesting, 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!!!!

  37. Amy K Gross says:

    I 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.

  38. Tristan says:

    I’m sure if I eat 5 gallons of Ice Cream a day we’ll catch up to New Zealand.

  39. Ann Calvo says:

    Love your ice cream and your calendar.

  40. Randy G says:

    Vanilla Bean is my favorite!

  41. Valerie G. says:

    Considering 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!

  42. Mary D says:

    I do my part too!!

  43. ASH says:

    If 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.

  44. Ben Justesen says:

    I’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 …

  45. Tola U says:

    We have nothing to fear from the Aussies. We will continue to out eat them any day

  46. bill morrissey says:

    i am up to twice a day bowls of cherry vanilla.i am trying,

  47. Linda S says:

    wait ’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?

  48. barry says:

    anyone 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?

  49. Mark Pagan says:

    Again, the grand prize would be of great influence for our family to do our part…

  50. barry says:

    if 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?

  51. Isabella says:

    Ice cream is great anytime of the day. It makes a great breakfast food.

  52. saminder gumer says:

    who knew that new zealand and australia consumed so much ice cream. it is news to me.

  53. Denise says:

    Wonder why New Zealand eats the most?

  54. Jennifer Barr says:

    wow! I would’ve guessed the US would’ve had the highest number.

  55. dirtyoldmann says:

    have been eating ice cream forever and will coninue to do so till i`m gone hope it helps raise are numbers

  56. Diane says:

    USA! USA! USA!

  57. Lisa says:

    This is very interesting considering “how fat” Americans are. Oh well I will still eat my ice cream. Let’s make the US #1.

  58. Annie Brooks says:

    I 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.

  59. barry west says:

    where’s turkey hill low carb ice cream???? can’t find it anywhere’s anymore!!!!

  60. Sara says:

    I do my part – especially in the winter…go figure!!!

  61. Lori says:

    We’ll have to have a bit of ice cream tonight instead of holiday cookies.

  62. Sherry Zawada says:

    Turkey Hill ice cream is delicious – love it!

  63. Sherry Zawada says:

    Turkey Hill ice cream is delicious – I love it!

  64. Karen says:

    If everyone ate as much ice cream as I do I’m sure we’d be well past New Zealand.

  65. Karen says:

    I 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.

  66. Stephanie H. says:

    chocolate peanut butter ice cream – - what else would you need??

  67. Diane Milk says:

    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.

  68. Bob Jones says:

    Turkey Hill Ice Cream makes me
    smile…a lot!

  69. Diane Milk says:

    Althought 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!!!!!

  70. Laureli says:

    Wow! If NZ is that far ahead of us, how much ice cream does the average person eat in a day?

  71. susan phillips says:

    Interesting 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!

  72. Deb says:

    Being #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!!!!!!!

  73. Joyce says:

    My family would have no problem eating more to grab the #1 spot.

  74. DAWN says:

    IT WOULD BE FANTASTIC TO SEE THE
    COCONUT CREME PIE AND THE FRIED
    ICE CREAM BACK!!!!!!
    P.S. EVERYONE START EATING MORE ICE
    CREAM. THE U.S.A.NEEDS TO BE #1….

  75. Jennifer says:

    I’m surprised we aren’t #1.

  76. Adrian says:

    Dawn, I think both Fried Ice Cream and Coconut Creme Pie are on the limited edition slate for 2008.

  77. Bob says:

    Peaches and Cream must be good. It’s leading the poll. I was never able to find it this past year- maybe that’s why.

  78. Matt says:

    I must be the King of New Zealand!

  79. Bonnie says:

    Diane, blueberries and cream sounds like it would make a great flavor.

  80. Caitlin says:

    It makes sense that New Zealand is so high… They have so much farm land!
    I’m shocked that Canada is so low. I must be carrying it all on my back! lol

  81. Peg says:

    I would love to be today’s ice cream winner.

  82. Rob Cardillo says:

    Ill help try to help the US to first…Yummy in my tummy.

  83. Kristina Farmer says:

    I’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!

  84. Nancy says:

    Grandchildren would really like those magnets to play with! It isn’t a holiday unless theirs Ice Cream-Turkey Hill prefered!

  85. ken takvorian says:

    Let’s get behind the voting for Southern Lemon Pie Ice Cream.
    There is always room for ice cream!!!

  86. Thomas says:

    Love ice cream

  87. margy spring says:

    makes my mouth water, Turkey Hill is so good,

  88. Janet Smith says:

    I 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.

  89. doris shull says:

    Thank you for this opportunity! Our family of six is almost keeping you in business ourselves—–we all eat Turkey Hill ice cream daily.

  90. Mary Worth says:

    I would like to help our great nation become #1!!!

  91. Turkey Hill Team says:

    It’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!!

  92. Kathy says:

    Wow, I’d have thought we were first. Guess I’ll have to start eating more Turkey Hill, and help move us up!

  93. Sheila says:

    Shocking statistics — who knew?!?

  94. Peg Cramer says:

    I tend to think of New Zealand and Australia as “most like” the US in culture. The big surprise though, is Finland placing so high!

  95. Elona Hoffman says:

    I’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!

  96. MOO-RIE says:

    I CAN’T BELIEVE WE’RE NOT #1!!!!!!!!!!

  97. Maggie says:

    New Zealand? Huh, who’d a thunk?

  98. Mark Wuellner says:

    Those Australians are tricky folks.

  99. nat says:

    And this American, living in MA, but raised in Lancaster, PA loves her Turkey Hill Ice Cream!!

  100. Abbi says:

    What 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!

  101. Rose says:

    Do kangaroos like ice cream?

  102. Charlie says:

    Who 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.

  103. Toni says:

    I 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!!!

  104. Patty Jo says:

    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.

  105. Christina K. says:

    …”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”"….
    How did New Zealand become #1 in consuming ice cream??

  106. Harry says:

    It would be great to compare ice cream recipes.

  107. Lisa Enz says:

    I wonder what the favorite flavor in New Zealand is.

  108. Cathy Bell says:

    The USA is way up there! We all love Turkey Hill. Somebody has to do it!!

  109. Maggie says:

    I 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?

  110. Betty Seidel says:

    Coffee has a flavor that some prefer hot
    But Turkey Hill Coffee Ice Cream is what I like a lot!

  115. Marion says:

    Hmmmm! I’ll take the duetto turkey hill ice cream. The mango and vanilla is great…..

  116. Jim P says:

    I’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!

  117. Sue H says:

    As long as Turkey Hill makes ice cream, my family will do its part to push the USA into 1st place.

  118. Tom F says:

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!!

  122. todd taylor says:

    Thats OK. More ice cream for me!!

  123. Vanessa says:

    You have to be an alien if you don’t love ice cream, especially delicious Turkey Hill ice crem!

  126. Dale Lonkart says:

    Another reason to love the holidays – Turkey Hill Egg Nog Ice Cream!!!

  127. Linda V says:

    I’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!

  128. Pat S. says:

    I am certainly helping with the ice cream consumption – I am soooo faithful to Turkey Hill butter pecan – my absolute favorite!

  129. Sara says:

    Whoa look at New Zealand!

  137. Dana Pratt says:

    Wow !! 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.

  138. Another Virginia says:

    I’m going to Europe for the holidays. Much as I’ll miss my favorite, I’m NOT sharing our Turkey Hill!!

  139. Bonnie says:

    you scream,I scream, we all scream for ice cream never ever stop making it.as long as there are cows there will be milk, as long as there is milk my husband will have a job.he drives the tank trucks that bring it to the dairy to make the ice cream.so keep on making the ice cream Turkey Hill

  140. Wayne Hoffman says:

    Hooray for New Zealand. Happy to see we are not number 1.

  142. Derik says:

  143. Earl Krout says:

    New Zealand is not a melting pot as the United States. Therefore it will difficult for the US to overtake New Zealand.

  144. Blaine B says:

    New Years Resolution:

    Eat More Ice Cream!

  145. Susan Nowicki says:

  146. Earl Krout says:

    Very good for the states.

  147. Louise says:

    Who knew New Zealanders could eat so much ice cream! What is the population of New Zealand anyway?

  148. Guy De Federicis says:

    You’d think the southern hemisphere would have more countries represented. Nothing like ice cream on a hot day.

  149. Jeanne Korzan says:

    Your Fried Ice Cream is the best. I love it! Please keep it on the market.

  150. Darcy F. says:

    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!

  151. Helen H. says:

    I scream,
    You scream,
    We all scream for Turkey Hill ice cream.

  152. Jim Hansen says:

    I am moving to New Zealand. They have their act in order!

  153. linda lambeck says:

    New Zealand? Come on. What’s its population, anyhow. I know I’m doing my part to up the consumption.

  155. paul farrell says:

    do you know which flavor is the best seller in new zealand??

  156. Phyllis Ostrofsky says:

    Great source of bone strenghtening
    calcium. Just another reason why we
    should eat more ice cream.

  157. Pat says:

    Well, we all will have to start eating more ice cream. We can’t be beat out by Australia! Happy Eating everyone!

  158. Betty says:

    we’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.

  159. Kate S says:

    I wonder what they put in the ice cream in NZ!!

  160. Marcy Clay says:

    I like anything with chocolate, cookies and cream and coffee flavor!

  161. Candice says:

    What’s with New Zealand, can hardly believe they could be so far ahead on ice cream.

  162. Barbara Koeppen says:

    Your 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.
    Barbara K.

  163. Robin Hood says:

    Let’s all do our part in making US number 1.

  164. Sonya says:

    Premium 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
    A 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!

  165. Robin Hood says:

    Let’s have a ice cream party.

  166. John Henry says:

    I eat at least a gallon a week.

  167. Linda Brown says:

    Well I am doing my part to help us become number one.

  168. jerry says:

    I 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.

  169. Ralzie says:

    I almost feel like I’m back in Venice when I’m eating your Lemon Duetto!

  170. Diane Jacoby says:

    I just love the ease and the satisfaction that I receive from a simple bowl of ice cream!

  171. kirsten spring says:

  175. Linda F says:

    Let’s get eating!

  176. Denise of Elizabethtown says:

    Come on USA let’s eat more ice cream! We want to be #1.

  177. Courtney says:

    18 liters… is that all? I am waaaay above average!

  178. JOAN A.B. says:

    I 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.

  179. kevininchester says:

    Don’t export Turkey Hill to Australia. They might beat the U.S. then.

  180. Darrell S. Bell says:

    Regretfully, 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.

  181. Grace says:

    Fun, I love food magnets!!!

  182. Barb T says:

    Verrry interesting?
    I wonder why New Zealand, a country smaller than US can eat so much more ice cream?

  183. Stefanie Schmidt says:

    If everyone ate Turkey Hill, I am sure the United States would be the number one consumers!

  184. KEN N. says:

    NEW ZEALAND MAYBE #1 IN ICE CREAM EATING COUNTRY “BUT” TURKEY HILL IS THE REAL #1
    ALL OVER THE WORLD, IN MY BOOK!

  185. Stefanie Schmidt says:

    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.

  186. Jacqueline says:

    Interesting stats. I shared them with my husband and we were both surprised.
    Ice cream is our favorite dessert.

  187. Tracy Hartlage says:

    My 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…

  188. Dee peace says:

    I eat ice cream every evening and so does my Scottie Dog!

  189. Diane F says:

    Ice 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!!!

  190. Carol says:

    I love ice cream – would love to have the magnets.

  191. Senny says:

    If there were a poll of the top ice cream eating households in the USA, mine would be in the top 10% ! :D

  192. Ed Menger says:

    Being 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.

  193. Amber G says:

    I love magnets – and I definitely need some for my new fridge. Please enter me!!

  194. donna says:

    i love moose tracs ice cream. MMM GIMMY MORE GIMMY MORE

  195. donna says:

    I LOVE MOOSE TRACKS ICE CREAM. MMM GIMMY MORE GIMMY MORE???!!!!!>>>>>>

  196. Barb says:

  197. marybeth says:

    Guess we’ll have to step up the ice cream consumption here, lol!

  198. Maureem Edwards says:

    I love magnets. Bring on the ice cream with BAILEYS, way to go.

  199. Herb Luce says:

    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

  200. Heather says:

    They must eat ice cream w/ every meal in New Zealand.
    I will try much harder.

  201. Kim says:

    I thought for sure the U.S. would be #1?? Interesting statistics.

  202. Lucy T says:

    My husband eats enough ice cream to put us over the top 8:)

  203. Paula says:

    New Zealand…who would have thought?

  204. Kit White says:

    My husband had a bowl of Turkey Hill every day after his lunch. Turkey Hill is his brand of choice.

  205. Peg says:

    We love our nightly dish of ice cream…any flavor.

  206. Kit White says:

    Oops, I said HAD but meant HAS. He is still alive and kicking and would not miss his lunch dessert of Turkey Hill!

  207. Linda Justice says:

    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!

  208. Harriet Kipphorn says:

    I 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!!!
    Those magnets would look very nice on frig. with my other collection of magnets.

  209. Sarah says:

    I do my part too eat a lot of ice cream!

  210. Christine says:

    I 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!

  211. Mary Lou says:

    Nevermind watching Australia, lets just eat more ice cream and overtake New Zealand.

  212. Trudy says:

    I’ll Help! I’ll Help!!!

  213. stacie says:

    i love eating ice cream with whipped cream on top.

  214. Randy G says:

    Australia will not pass us as we’ll be busy passing New Zealand!

  215. Jennifer Anderson says:

    I can’t believe we’re number 2! I always thought the US ate the most ice cream per capita.

  216. Don R says:

    Give me butter brickle and I can move up the U.S. statistics real quick!!

  217. Cherry Ganie says:

    I am surprised that we are No 2. My family purchases 3 half gallons a week.

  218. Betsy H. says:

    We can do it. EAT more Turkey Hill and beat New Zealand! Go USA

  219. Derrick says:

    Well,them New Zealand’s,”sure must love eating ice-cream.”

  220. Steve says:

    I know with the right amount of determination and hot fudge sauce we can be number 1.

  221. Mike Y says:

    We will increase our consumption to pass the Kiwis

  222. Dawn says:

    I wonder what the stats are on New Zealand’s obesity rate?

  223. Laura says:

    I love the bits of trivia I learn about ice cream…keep up the good work.

  224. Jackie Zelinka says:

    It 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

  225. Sherry alias moosetracks says:

    I’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!”

  226. Frank says:

    I am surprised we are number 2. I have always done more than my share to make us number 1.

  227. Michael says:

    Hi 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.

  228. Alma says:

    …can’t understand second place…and I thought my husband held the world record!!

  229. Charity Ickes says:

    Thanks for the information about the liters WOW!!!!

  230. Lorraine D. says:

    Ok, I think for the good of our country I will have to eat lots of ice cream today!

  231. RS says:

    its never too cold for ice cream -just heat up a shot of brandy & pour over vanilla ice cream

  232. Beverly Balser says:

    My 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.

  233. Nancy E. says:

    Ice Cream is my most favorite dessert but I’m glad to hear for healthy reasons that the U.S. isn’t the top consumer.

  234. Lucy Kaczynski says:

    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.

  235. Betty Dickinson says:

    We can always count on Turkey Hill
    to 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!

  236. Nancy Diehl says:

    Unlike 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!

  237. sally says:

    For 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.

  238. Henry says:

    TO ALL TURKEY HILL EMPLOYEES,MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

  239. Patrice says:

    This is NOT a surprise! Let’s all buy Turkey Hill ice cream and make those stats soar!

    Blessings for Happy “Holy”days!

  240. lee carr says:

    Ice cream, it is not just for dessert anymore, breakfast coffee is now my new use for ice cream.

  241. Kevin Brubaker says:

    boy 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.

  242. susan curran says:

    c’mon guys-#2? let’s eat more ice cream!

  243. susan curran says:

    #2? c’mon guys , let’s eat more ice cream-preferably chocolate!

  244. Ruth Plantholt says:

    Love that Turkey Hill ice cream. We have a bowl every night and still can’t decide which one is our favorite.

  245. alicelynne says:

    Interesting stats. Ok, Don-I laughed at your idea of substituting chocolate for coconut(from a previous entry) and calling them “mud balls!!”

  246. Denise K says:

    Did 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!

  247. Colleen says:

    Funny,isn’t it, that the cold areas eat more ice cream?

  248. Tom F says:

    Looks like the Americans are going to have to eat some more ice cream!!!!!!

  249. Debbie says:

    Time to up our stats!!!

  250. Margaret Morgan says:

    As 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!

  251. Leonore Abercrombie says:

    I will be the #1 cheerleader for the USA.. Go team, eat more ice cream

  252. Debbie L says:

    Ice cream is my absolute favorite dessert.

  253. Rosemarie says:

    Hard to believe USA is #2!! Think we should have a recount!!!

  254. Fay says:

    The 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.

  255. Anna Garrett says:

    New 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.

  256. Dot says:

    ice cream is my official diet!!!

  257. Ryan N says:

    come on people we need to start eating more ice cream

  258. Debbie F says:

    Grab a spoon and dig in.
    I’ll enjoy every minute of eating my way to #1

  259. Ava says:

    I knew there must be a reason (besides Peter Jackson) we like New Zealanders so much!

  260. Bonnie says:

    The 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!

  261. DAN MURRAY says:

    now this is be the kind of challange i can get behind!!!! bring ‘em on

  262. Bob Kesssler says:

    I 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.

  263. gina snow says:

    what a cool idea

  264. caroline says:

    I’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

  265. Clara S says:

    New Zealand’s numbers have to be wrong. Somebody’s not telling the truth.

  266. Pat says:

    They can’t blame my family because we are #2. We would eat more except we are fat enough already.

  267. Donny says:

    Prezels 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!

  268. Donny says:

    Bet you can’t think of something better than Turkey Hill Ice Cream!

  269. Stacy DellaPenta says:

    I 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.

  270. Heather says:

    I too believe that no day is complete without at least one serving of ice cream – just finished bowl # 2!!!

  271. Diane says:

    It’s time to beat New Zealand, eat more ice cream today!

  272. Tom West says:

    I knew ice cream before Turkey Hill, but now I REALLY know ice cream. Thanks for all you do to keep up a beloved tradition.

  273. Kimberly Arms says:

    We 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!!! :)

  274. Christine S says:

    How 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!

  275. Ed F says:

    I’m willing to do my part to help make America #1!

  276. Bonnie says:

    Ice cream makes everyone happy!

  277. Beth Runkle says:

    I cannot believe we aren’t the #1 eaters of ice cream. I must be laying down on the job.

  278. Alison Gray says:

    I think the e-cone is fab.

  279. Vivian says:

    What about Turkey Hill Orange Sherbert. A scoop with Vanilla ice cream is soooo refreshing and delicious.

  280. Mollyann Shultz says:

    I do my part.

  281. Stephanie H. says:

    I am looking forward to being a possible winner of 52 weeks of ice cream – Happy New Year!

  282. Turkey Hill JACKSON says:

    FACT: TURKEY HILL LOVES ME, AN AMERICAN

    FACT: THEY WANT ME TO BE A GRAND PRIZE WINNER

    FICTION: I AM A HOPELESS DREAMER

  283. Brenda Hayhurst says:

    Turkey Hill “The best ice cream and the only one for me” Yum Yum….

  284. Moore Family says:

    I’m enjoying a bowl of Fudge Ripple ice cream right now, just after finishing Christmas Eve dinner. Mmmmmm.

  285. R. Frazer says:

    My 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.

  286. merri says:

    How is it calculated. are all included, babies, seniors,ect?????? I think we really eat more then them.
