12 DAYS OF ICE CREAM (DAY 2): ICE CREAM WRESTLERS
Posted by: Turkey Hill Team
First of all, we’d like to say hello and welcome to all of our new readers this holiday season. We’re happy to have you! If you’d like to receive new Ice Cream Journal entries via email, feel free to enter your email address in the Subscription box on the right!
The inspiration for this story comes from a very cool and unusual ice cream blog that we check out now and then called “Ice Cream People.” Each entry contains photos and drawings of ice cream concoctions that have human qualities. Ice cones with faces, arms and legs…things like that, mostly from advertisements and artists.
Back in June, Ice Cream People wrote about a wrestling tag team duo called Los Ice Creams. The pair compete in the Chikara Wrestling League – a WWE-style league patterned after Mexican wrestling, but with events throughout Pennsylvania and the northeast U.S. As is customary in Mexican wrestling, competitors sometimes dress up in outrageous costumes and Los Ice Creams are no exception.
That’s a photo of one member of the team above. Like we said in our comment on the Ice Cream People blog, we’re not sure if this character looks intimidating or just funny. Either way, they’ve got their own t-shirts. If you’d like to buy a Los Ice Creams Shirt, check them out here.
TODAY’S PRIZE: A little Turkey Hill history is up for grabs here on the second day of ice cream. It’s the book, “Turkey Hill: A Family Vision,” a 64-page illustrated account of our humble beginnings, our modern day successes, and everything in between. One comment will be chosen at random from this entry to receive the book, which is also available on our 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.

December 20th, 2008 at 3:03 pmTurkey Hill ice cream lovers are creative, too!
December 20th, 2008 at 3:02 pmAll the fun and wonderful things to do for an Turkey Hill Ice Cream
December 20th, 2008 at 12:16 pmThat costume is loud and must be very hot. I agree it is some what scarey. I do not know how that person can breath or see out of it.
December 20th, 2008 at 12:53 amThis guy cracks me up!!! I am glad to see Turkey Hill have some fun. It doesn’t always have to be serious. Thanks.
December 19th, 2008 at 8:53 amWrestling and Turkey Hill- you can’t go wrong with either!
December 18th, 2008 at 9:51 pmI would be thrilled to own a book on the Turkey Hill heritage. If chosen, please, oh please, autograph it, too!
December 18th, 2008 at 7:30 pmThanks for this fun contest, and Merry Christmas.
I might just have to order one of those t-shirts.
December 18th, 2008 at 5:39 pmMy husband and one of my sons enjoy watching wrestling.
December 18th, 2008 at 5:29 pmMy husband and one of my sons love to watch wrestling.
December 18th, 2008 at 5:28 pmIt’s like Halloween never ended – but oh, so cool!
December 18th, 2008 at 12:13 amThis guy definitely is just plain funny and not the least bit intimidating.
December 17th, 2008 at 11:39 pmI would wrestle anyone trying to take my turkey hill.
December 17th, 2008 at 7:09 pmHow much thought went into that costume?
December 17th, 2008 at 11:45 amI think if I was an ice cream woman I would like to be a Duetto of strawberry and chocolate… or perhaps cookies and cream…mmmm… thinking of this is making me hungry… for Turkey Hill ice cream…
December 17th, 2008 at 9:45 amVery interesting costumes. Since wrestling is such an entertaining event,this team will get lots of attention with their costumes. If you are an ice cream lover, they will make you want to go and buy some.
December 17th, 2008 at 6:51 amwow! What an interesting costume. ice cream wrestlers! you see something new everyday. although he looks more like a clown than an ice cream to me. lol
December 17th, 2008 at 12:53 amMy vote would be for “funny” rather than “scary” on Los Ice Creams, but they give new meaning to the phrase “I took a lickin’!”
December 17th, 2008 at 12:46 amthat is strange.
December 16th, 2008 at 10:22 pmI’ve been fascinated by masked wrestlers since I was a kid watching wrestling every Saturday morning, followed by ice cream every Saturday afternoon.!
December 16th, 2008 at 10:08 pmThanks for the memory.
Wierd but it seems to be a harmless activity. And as long as no one is getting hurt and everyone is having fun and of course eating Turkey Hill, more power to them! LOL
December 16th, 2008 at 9:19 pmI hope he uses his cone as a weapon. And how in the world do you see out of that costume to wrestle?
December 16th, 2008 at 8:58 pmno comment!!
December 16th, 2008 at 8:27 pmI wouldn’t want to win the outfit, but it is certainly unique. The book is local history and would be great to read.
December 16th, 2008 at 7:44 pmMy mother always said it takes all kinds of people to make the world go around.
December 16th, 2008 at 7:14 pmI guess this guy could be called a real “cone-head”.
December 16th, 2008 at 7:13 pmI can tell you I wouldn’t want to have this guy at my table when I was eating my delicious Turkey Hill Ice Cream, I think he is creepy. Linda
December 16th, 2008 at 6:34 pmI don’t know. Weird is all I have to say. Amy
December 16th, 2008 at 6:22 pmWeird…but cool. thanks for the contest.
December 16th, 2008 at 6:19 pmCreatively speaking, who wins Turkey Hill or this Turkey with the cone on his head? I think it’s a toss-up (but it landed on his head).
December 16th, 2008 at 6:03 pmIsn’t wrestling aleady a show enough, now this???!!!
December 16th, 2008 at 5:21 pmI hace to agree….The costume is pretty weird.
December 16th, 2008 at 4:49 pmLike to curl up with the TH book with
December 16th, 2008 at 4:43 pmTH ice cream
Here’s another vote that says the guy looks creepy. Plus it’s a waste of good ice cream being put on top of his head.
December 16th, 2008 at 3:44 pm“Mr. Conehead” is a little weird, but the book sounds interesting.
December 16th, 2008 at 3:17 pmI agree I don’t wether to be intimidated or to just burst out laughing. I guess either reaction would be in their “flavor”
December 16th, 2008 at 2:01 pmI love the picture of the ice cream cone man. I think he look more like a pineapple ice cream with everything in it or He can be a lemon ice cream too.
December 16th, 2008 at 1:54 pmHe look cute in that ice ceam mask with the cone on the top.
“Well Dorothy…when the Ice Creamer made me in Chikara he did everything right; he gave me a nice tropical pineaple-lemon flavor, a taco cone, he threw on some chocolate chips and some blueberry chips …, but he forgot one thing.”
“REFRIGERATION’
“I’m suppose to be a wrestler…hard as nails…, not a drippy, ozziing soft-serve.”
“Oh my life’s alot a nuffin…”
December 16th, 2008 at 1:02 pmDifferent stokes for different folks!
December 16th, 2008 at 12:17 pm(And BOY, are they DIFFERENT!)
I think he is scary looking!
December 16th, 2008 at 12:09 pmlooks like a danger to the person wrestling hope it is a soft ice cream cone
December 16th, 2008 at 11:56 amname that guy’s flava!!!!
December 16th, 2008 at 11:53 ambook sounds very intersting.
December 16th, 2008 at 11:35 amA little scary, but he looks like he loves Turkey Hill!
December 16th, 2008 at 11:28 amThey look a little scary to me. Not what I associate with good feelings of Turkey Hill Ice Cream.
December 16th, 2008 at 11:12 amsomething different, definetly different
December 16th, 2008 at 10:52 amThat is such a neat idea. My grandkids are always asking me for ideas for Halloween. Who knows maybe we’ll have some interesting ice cream costumes next year.
December 16th, 2008 at 10:48 amI asked for the Turkey Hill book last year for Christmas, and did not receive it. To my husband, family, and friends who read this, all I can say is HINT…HINT…HINT.
December 16th, 2008 at 10:28 amThe ice cream person is an interesting mascot that everyone can identify with once they become aware of the connection with Turkey Hill ice cream.
December 16th, 2008 at 9:52 amThe guy with the “cone head” looks a bit scarey but I am sure gets noticed. The Turkey Hill ice cream history book sounds great to add to my book shelf.
December 16th, 2008 at 9:40 amAnd these men wrestle in these costumes? What people do these days for money! I’ll take the Turkey Hill history book over these guys anytime.
December 16th, 2008 at 9:38 amNow that’s what I call a cone head.
December 16th, 2008 at 9:33 amA little scary, but these guys have to have interesting costumes if they are going to have a cheering section!!!!. The books sounds really interesting……
December 16th, 2008 at 9:18 amWow these costumes are really different! Can’t wait until there are tours of the Turkey Hill Factory – in the meantime the book can fill us in on the history.
December 16th, 2008 at 9:00 ammmmmmm… ICE CREAM
December 16th, 2008 at 8:50 amNever thoght of it as attire.
I guess thats the best one can do with a human head as the Ice Cream. Colorful and I am sure kids would love it. The book sounds interesting and a sure Turkey Hill treasure.
December 16th, 2008 at 8:44 amOk….well…am certainly glad the prize is your book!!!
December 16th, 2008 at 8:42 amNEW VERSION OF SATURDAY NITE LIVE’S CONE HEAD?
December 16th, 2008 at 8:41 amCostume is a little too much!!…but, creative.
December 16th, 2008 at 8:40 amKind of creepy looking!
December 16th, 2008 at 8:33 amWhat do the winners get. A gallon of Turkey Hill Ice Cream, of course.8:)
December 16th, 2008 at 8:23 amThe ice cream cone is cute, but the face makeup is just creepy.
December 16th, 2008 at 8:22 amThe book sounds interesting!
At first, I thought the prize was going to be the creepy ice cream wrestling costume! Yikes!
December 16th, 2008 at 8:14 amunusual and strange!!
December 16th, 2008 at 8:03 amWrestling is weird and maybe ‘ ice cream man’ was the best this one could come up with. Gotta admit he should have a solid base of fans who like ice cream.
December 16th, 2008 at 8:03 amWOW is all I have to say.
December 16th, 2008 at 8:01 amIt never surprises me the strange things people do…
December 16th, 2008 at 7:56 amWOW! how adorable:)
December 16th, 2008 at 7:12 amHe does not need nuts. He is nuts.
December 16th, 2008 at 7:08 amjust too bizarre looking
December 16th, 2008 at 7:01 amI agree that sprinkles would be the finishing touch! Finally a reason to be a fan of professional wrestling! Delicious!
December 16th, 2008 at 7:00 amyou ask if he is intimidating or funny -
December 16th, 2008 at 6:59 amyes, he’s funny but i wouldn’t want to mess with him in the ring!
This costume is pretty scary! Kids have enough problems being afraid of clowns, now they’re going to make them nervous about ice cream?
December 16th, 2008 at 6:43 amI love to read. A telemarketer called yesterday to sell me some magazines. She tried to make me believe first that she was doing a survey. She asked me what I liked to read. I told her books — the thicker the better. She asked about magazines and I told her that I hate magazines. There is not enough depth and breadth to them. She hung up quickly enough. I love to read on any topic and my book habit ties with my Turkey Hill habit for using up my discretionary income.
December 16th, 2008 at 6:33 amI would like to read that book, Hope I am the lucky winner. If I don’t I guess I will buy ine, Like th know all about the history of TURKEY HILL!
December 16th, 2008 at 6:01 amI think he needs some nuts.
December 16th, 2008 at 6:00 amLooks like he needs some nuts.
December 16th, 2008 at 5:57 amFirst let me start off by saying how interesting that story was. Second this would be an awsome book. I love books on all different things. And again I’m so happy that T.H. Did this contest again. I’ve had so major medical problems and this contest gives me something to look forward too. THANKS TURKEY HILL.
December 16th, 2008 at 5:34 amI would love to win a book detailing the history of Turkey Hill. It sounds very interesting especially since I love Turkey Hill ice cream so much. This is a great giveaway. Thanks.
December 16th, 2008 at 4:05 amI’d love to read that book.
December 15th, 2008 at 11:53 pmonly one word comes to mind today: weird.
December 15th, 2008 at 11:10 pmI would like the book. However, that guy is a bit odd.
December 15th, 2008 at 10:28 pmSome people have too much time on their hands!
December 15th, 2008 at 10:26 pmThat is way too weird!
December 15th, 2008 at 10:09 pmi’d wrestle him for a ice cream cone. feliz navidad!
December 15th, 2008 at 9:49 pmI wonder if the weird outfit is supposed to cover the fact that they are terrible wrestlers? I mean – has anyone outside of their immediate families every heard of them? Still, I wouldn’t want to open my door on Halloween night and find them there! As for the prize, if I win, will I have to take a test on the history of Turkey Hill after I read it?
December 15th, 2008 at 9:39 pmcool but a little over the top for my taste. The book sounds great! It is always nice when people stop and think of where they have come from and share that with everyone.
December 15th, 2008 at 9:28 pmPerhaps they could use some Turkey Hill ice cream and then they wouldn’t want to scare people with that ice cream look……
December 15th, 2008 at 9:22 pmWould love the book-keep the conehead-I already have a Mexican wrestling mask!
December 15th, 2008 at 9:12 pmmy whole family screams for turkey hill icecream it never seems to matter what flavor i serve they just think it is the right treat they deserve.
December 15th, 2008 at 8:59 pmI would love to read about the history of Turkey Hill. I wonder what the first ice cream flavor was? Vanilla???
December 15th, 2008 at 8:08 pmWell, I must say that I would surrender to the ice cream cone guy without much of a fight. I would be too busy laughing my head off! I wonder where they ever came up with the idea for such a costume.
December 15th, 2008 at 8:02 pmWell, a human ice cream cone included. Things that make you go hmmmmm.
December 15th, 2008 at 7:57 pmOn the fourth day of ice cream Turkey Hill gave to me four ice cream wrestlers, 3 ice cream puzzles, 2 christmas green ice cream scoopers and some ice cream for my christmas tree!
that guy is scary/creepy! lol
December 15th, 2008 at 7:57 pmSOMETHING DIFFERENT, FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS WELL , MERRY CHRISTMAS
December 15th, 2008 at 7:56 pmBook is interesting. This cone head is frightening. He scares me. I can imagine what the children would think:-)
December 15th, 2008 at 7:55 pmSounds like an interesting and maybe inspirational story especially if someone is out of work and looking for a little push to try starting their own business…not ice cream!!
December 15th, 2008 at 7:38 pmdosenot go along with my vision of the 12 days of Christmas,ice cream or not
December 15th, 2008 at 7:19 pmGee, I thought today’s prize was going to be that awful mask…..lol
December 15th, 2008 at 7:04 pmvery stange indeed i agree scary for some kids
December 15th, 2008 at 6:54 pmTo me that clown is just downright scary.
December 15th, 2008 at 6:50 pmI would be interested in the book – and hope that I also win the year of free ice cream!
December 15th, 2008 at 6:30 pmI am definitely interested in the book – the wrestling dude is scary in a freaky sort of way!
December 15th, 2008 at 6:29 pmInstead of Nacho Libre, we can call him Ice Cream Libre!
December 15th, 2008 at 6:26 pmI just love turkey hill ice cream and i’d love to read about it’s humble beginnings. as for the wrestler. he’d frighten me.
December 15th, 2008 at 6:21 pmI would like to read the book while I’m eating the grand prize. Just read a little bit every day.
December 15th, 2008 at 5:39 pmThe book sounds very interesting.
December 15th, 2008 at 5:36 pmHey I’m all for advertising ice cream, but there is a reason he has a FULL mask on his head & it’s NOT for safety. That costume is terrible.
December 15th, 2008 at 4:51 pmlooks scary to me, might give childern nightmares
December 15th, 2008 at 4:47 pmYes the elaborate costumes to grab some attention and stares, and are mildly entertaining, but the Los Ice Creams can certainly take some better steps into increasing their fan base…Perhaps they could offer ice cream to their patrons during the wrestling matches. They could do it to make money by selling it, or offering it for free for season ticket owners or higher priority seating. Perhaps, an even better idea would be for Turkey Hill to sponsor them. They could advertise their new flavors with the teams which would increase publicity and serve as another mascot. Turkey hill could also attract and cater to a population of people (athletes specifically) who fear away from ice cream because they feel like it is unhealthy or counter-productive for training. They could contradict and correct false beliefs, advertise healthy low-fat yogurts and “light flavors” that won’t drag you down during practice or competitions. Or to attract another population of people (maybe the more eclectic), there could be a wrestling IN ice cream competition once a year. The possibilities are endless….but one thing is for sure…this wrestling team would become a LOT more popular is they had turkey hill backing them. I mean who could resist the delectably delicious tasty treats that turkey hill has to offer?
December 15th, 2008 at 4:22 pmI would start wrestling a cone man from the head down just to eat the cone to see if it was filled with peanut butter mania. luv it
December 15th, 2008 at 3:53 pmHE LOOKS LIKE A REAL FRIENDLY CONE HEAD
December 15th, 2008 at 3:34 pmI would never think of an ice cream cone as a wrestler…..although I might wrestle a cone away from my husband if it was Turkey Hill Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough!
December 15th, 2008 at 3:32 pmHaha pretty weird
December 15th, 2008 at 3:20 pmAn true “conehead” if there ever was one. Perhaps one of Dan Akroyd’s descendants?
December 15th, 2008 at 2:49 pmAhhh, now I know how to dress my son up for next Halloween!
December 15th, 2008 at 1:05 pmThe Ice Cream blog does have some interesting drawings. I don’t think I’ve ever met Ice Cream people.
December 15th, 2008 at 12:49 pmIT is amazing what is entertaining in our world today. WOW
December 15th, 2008 at 12:45 pmLooks like a Circus Clown to me !
)
December 15th, 2008 at 12:34 pmWhile I agree the chosen ice-cream people picture looks scary, the ice cream people blog does has some much better pictures (less scary ones) on it. I like the picture of the cone from the Kalamazoo parade.
December 15th, 2008 at 11:09 amI think I may have nightmares. Hopefully they’re not about me not eating ice cream!
December 15th, 2008 at 10:56 amThe guy looks kind of scary, but I do like the concept.
December 15th, 2008 at 10:49 amWhat flavor is he supposed to be? How can he see? I have to agree with Judy-has anyone ever gotten poked in the eye?
December 15th, 2008 at 10:24 amHilarious! I wish the mask looked a bit more like a scoop of ice cream attached to that cone. Some sprinkles would be nice! LOL!
December 15th, 2008 at 10:13 amThis costume looks like it would be perfect for Mardi Gras.
December 15th, 2008 at 10:00 amI wonder if anyone ever got poked in the eye wrestling with the guy with the cone on his head?!?!?
