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.
I guess this guy could be called a real “cone-head”.
My mother always said it takes all kinds of people to make the world go around.
I wouldn’t want to win the outfit, but it is certainly unique. The book is local history and would be great to read.
no comment!!
I hope he uses his cone as a weapon. And how in the world do you see out of that costume to wrestle?
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
I’ve been fascinated by masked wrestlers since I was a kid watching wrestling every Saturday morning, followed by ice cream every Saturday afternoon.!
Thanks for the memory.
that is strange.
My vote would be for “funny” rather than “scary” on Los Ice Creams, but they give new meaning to the phrase “I took a lickin’!”
wow! 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
Very 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.
I 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…
How much thought went into that costume?
I would wrestle anyone trying to take my turkey hill.
This guy definitely is just plain funny and not the least bit intimidating.
It’s like Halloween never ended – but oh, so cool!
My husband and one of my sons love to watch wrestling.
My husband and one of my sons enjoy watching wrestling.
I might just have to order one of those t-shirts.
I would be thrilled to own a book on the Turkey Hill heritage. If chosen, please, oh please, autograph it, too!
Thanks for this fun contest, and Merry Christmas.
Wrestling and Turkey Hill- you can’t go wrong with either!
This guy cracks me up!!! I am glad to see Turkey Hill have some fun. It doesn’t always have to be serious. Thanks.
That 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.
All the fun and wonderful things to do for an Turkey Hill Ice Cream
Turkey Hill ice cream lovers are creative, too!
Turkey Hill ice cream lovers are creative, too, as well as extremely intelligent!
