The second Turkey Hill Eagles Touchdown Sundae Eating Contest was held before the Eagles game against the Steelers this past Sunday and another ice cream lover/Eagles fan has emerged victorious (and with a slightly frozen face).
Eating from a giant bowl of ice cream using no hands, Gene W. of Pottstown, PA was crowned the winner when he downed 27.2 ounces of ice cream in three minutes. It was an extremely close contest, with the second place winner finishing just one-tenth of an ounce behind Gene. That’s less than one spoonful of ice cream!
For his efforts, Gene won a football and helmet signed by Eagles star Brian Dawkins. He’s also eligible to compete in the final contest on November 9, where the winner will receive a prize package that includes limousine transportation, hotel accommodations and two tickets to see the Eagles take on the Giants on December 7.
The next Turkey Hill Eagles Touchdown Sundae Eating Contest will take place on October 5 before the Eagles/Redskins game. If you think you’ve got what it takes to win, feel free to sign up on the WIP website. Good luck!

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.
thats really nice ;;enjoy it,for everyone
one-tenth of ounce difference—was there an instant replay?
do they have timeouts for brain freeze? seriously, LET”S GO JETS!!!!!!
I can’t believe he could eat all that ice cream in that short a time. Did he wrap a warm towel around his head afterwards for the brain freeze?
Depending on the flavor, my mom could give him a run for his money! I’ve had to go to 3 stores trying to get more of the Coconut Cream Pie – she eats practically the whole thing herself every night! (And she’s 78!)
Way to go, Gene!!
It sure was a close contest. My
congratulations to Gene and condolences to the person who came in 2nd. What a shame to lose by 1 spoonful! Also wanted to say that yesterday I bought Baked Apple Dumpling (Limited Edition) and I just love it!! Every time I try something new, I have a new favorite and it get harder and harder to buy ice cream because I take so long making my choices!
Congratulations, Gene! You sure picked a winner when you chose Turkey Hill ice cream — but tell me, doesn’t all that ice cream so quickly give you a MAJOR headache?
I wish I was close enough to be able to be a part of these! Barbara
I wish I could be there to participate, but I live too far away. Good luck and congrats Gene! And, thank you Turkey Hill.
PS: I’m still looking for Junior Mint ice cream here in S.I. NY!!
did he have brain freeze? i hope he read the article and coments on what to do when you do get it.
Congratulations! I eat my ice cream slowly and savor each spoon full of Turkey Hill!
Congratulations, I think I could give him stiff competition. 3 minutes is not long enough for me. I want more.
Congratulations Gene, Hope you enjoyed every minute eating the delicious Turkey Hill Ice Cream. Linda
Congratulations Gene,
It a no contess win hands down when you eat Turket Hill Ice cream.
Way to go! Fly! Eagles Fly!
Hi Turkey Hill Fans,
I love the picture. I have a question to ask. Do you have a fall ice cream. yet? When are you going to started sending out your hoilday ice cream? As you can tell I love your hoilday ice cream
I am not a football person, but this one looks mild to most that I have encountered. so glad he was the winner.
Congrats to the winner! What a delicious contest.
Yes, Brenda – there is a fall ice cream. I just had the Baked Apple Dumpling tonight. It was delicious. Be sure to try some. It’s a limited edition, so keep looking!
Hey guys, I’m sure you know it, but you were featured on The Office premiere twice: one was a refrigerator magnet (just like the one I have) and another was in the window of a convenience store, a big lemon flavored tea decal.
Congrats to the winner!
If only my son still lived in Philly, I’m sure his buddies would volunteer him for a try. They got him to go on “Stump the Schwab”!
So far the winners have been men. I am sure there are women out there who love Turkey Hill ice cream. I don’t think you will see them at this contest. They are at home enjoying their Turkey Hill at a more slower and enjoyable pace. That’s more my style than eating at a pace where enjoyment is not there.
