Don’t we all wish it could’ve stayed that way! I would drown myself in Turkey Hill Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream of course for only a single dollar!

Glad we can get more than a “lick” now! Especially of the Chocolate Cherry Cordial that I love!!!

Am glad they no longer sell icecream like that. Very unsanitary.

They look like something you would see on “The Antique Road Show.” Good way to try a flavor to see if you like it.

Hi turkey HIll fan, my computer is not working at this time, so I have to go to the library to say hit to everyone. I miss everyone here, When I can’t talked to you. This blod is like a large family,…getting back to the those two ice cream glass cone…I love them. It would be nice to win them, if turkey hill, gave them away as prize give away.
They are so cute. Can you see yourself eating ice cream out of them…I can. I love Turkey Hill vanilla and strawberry ice cream.

Very interesting bit of ice cream trivia and something I had never heard of before. I’ll bet I could get a lick for every penny I spend on a carton of Turkey Hill – that is if I could keep myself from biting into the deliciousness and polishing it off in a hurry.

What a rip off That’s worse than having no ice cream at all.

I wonder if any of the glasses are still around.

that’d be a great trick to play on the kids.

I DONT LIKE THE IDEA OF THE PENNY LICK. IT SEEMS LIKE A MEAN TRICK TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE MORE. WHY DIDNT THEY JUST SELL A SPOONFUL.

By: Stephanie

Stephanie — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 03:17:26 +0000

I love these – too bad they’re not still around.

In that case…order me 1000 of those because that’s how much money I currently have on me, and I cannot think of a better reason to spend money than on ice cream. I mean really, can anything else make your smile bigger than ice cream for a penny?

By: Meg Scannell

Meg Scannell — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 00:31:40 +0000

So since it was a national holiday, my parents always reserve the day entirely and strictly for “family.” We are instructed to turn off our cell-phones, unplug our computer and remain “gadget-free” for the entire holiday. That way we are able to appreciate the reason for the holiday, celebrate our nation’s historical figures that made the day possible, and give thanks with our family. That is all well and good, but the embargo on internet lasted 2 days and I missed reading this blog that was truely tragic and I was so tempted to sneak on and see what the topic of discussion was, read some funny posts, and see if there were any additional prizes. But I kept my promise and suffered through with no turkey hill blog…but im back!

By: Melody

Those are neat but I think I would have had to spend a LOT of pennies to get the ice cream that I would want.

Penny Lick what a concept! Today it’s more like a buck fifty lick! But as long as it’s chocolate it’s fine. I had plenty licks over the July 4th weekend!

By: Fred

Fred — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 19:17:07 +0000

The penny lick was loaded with germs by the end of the day. I wonder if they washed them at night? At least they were gluten free!

By: john

john — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 18:26:08 +0000

what a goldmine. I wonder how many licks in a pint?

By: Joan

Joan — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 18:04:57 +0000

This story evokes many “good” ice cream memories. In our small town, years ago when I was a child, the pharmacy had an ice cream counter where you could get the best phosphates, sundaes and those luscious ice cream cones.

By: Carol

Carol — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 18:03:47 +0000

Very interesting! I love odd bits of history! My mother is 92 I wonder if she remembers the penny lick! Glad cones were invented, although I prefer the cake cone!!

By: Nancy

Nancy — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 17:55:10 +0000

I’d rather have a LARGE helping of something like cherry/fudge!

By: MJ

MJ — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 17:34:10 +0000

I’m glad they invented the cone. Can imagine using one of those, but then I guess they weren’t as germaphobic then.

By: Steph

Steph — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 17:12:49 +0000

Hmmmmm. Today, it would probably be a dollar lick!

The marketing people still do that. The pound can of coffee never got smaller but now it is only 11 ounces. I remember one company reduced the size of the can but had to go back to the pound size because people did not buy the small can even though it had the same amount of coffee in it.

So tiny! No room for toppings:( Glad they’re a thing of the past!

By: Cathy Neal

Thank goodness the cone was invented. I have never seen a “penny lick” before but bet they would be collectible items if any could be found.

By: Deborah Holman

Deborah Holman — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 16:00:31 +0000

I think that I would like to have these for when you just want a taste and a good way to limit how much you get.53,960

By: Ellen

Ellen — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 15:58:09 +0000

Sorry, I’m not a “lick” kinda person. I need to taste my ice cream, 2 or 3 scoops please. If any of those “penny licks” are still around, they’d probably be worth more than a penny.

i love having cones to put ice cream in.

Great invention, waffle cones, they are my favorite. But I can eat TH ice cream any way at all. New invention… Turkey Hill ice cream on cinnamon raisen toast. EXCELLANT!!!

By: Anthony Ruiz

Anthony Ruiz — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 15:40:50 +0000

It looks like it only takes one lick to finish, but the thing did lead to a great invention. The WAFFLE CONE

By: Stephanie

Stephanie — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 15:35:16 +0000

It is kind of like the mini cones. I love the places that serve the mini cones for .10 or .25 cents. Even if you dont have or dont want to spend a lot of money you can still get a little tasty treat.

I would love to have an “ice cream sampler” made of small scoops (like melon ball size) of all Turkey Hill’s Flavors. YUM!

What an interesting piece of history! This one should be added to those e-mails (chain) that one gets in teh in-box every so often about not well known information.

By: Bob Kessler Jr

Since we are so germ conscious today I don’t believe these penny lick glasses would be popular. With cones, dishes, and Turkey Hill ice cream in the home, we certainly don’t have to go far for this treat.

By: ellie

ellie — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 14:58:26 +0000

Great article-love the picture of the glasses. I would need a long line of these glasses filled with ice cream and eat one at a time as if it was a assembly line.

i couldn’t imagine the idea doing too well in this time frame. people are just too nuts now.

By: Mitzie

Mitzie — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 14:33:59 +0000

That idea is equivalent today by using a tiny plastic spoon to get a “lick” of different flavors of ice cream. A good one too, since I have lots more than one favorite flavor!

By: Karen

Karen — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 14:32:03 +0000

I had not heard of that before, what a cute story. Finding out who started the idea and if they became famous would be a nice ending.

By: Dan

Dan — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 14:26:34 +0000

They’d be a great novelty and good for samples, tastes, or toppings….

By: ELSIE

ELSIE — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 14:26:30 +0000

My mom had told me something about that, but I had forgotten until now, with your reminder. I think we had gone to an antique shop, and one of those glasses was there. She explained what it was to me – because at first I had thought that it was a drinking glass…thanks for this chance to win!

By: Nicole

That’s really interesting…I had no idea how the cone came about.

That’s kinda gross! I’m glad someone invented the cone.

By: ellie

ellie — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 14:18:03 +0000

I loved the article-very interesting-I loved the picture of the glasses. In order to fulfill my craving of ice cream they would have to line up a considerable amount of these glasses with ice cream, and I would empty them one by one.

By: Linda

Linda — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 14:10:44 +0000

I would love to go back to the day of the penny lick, penny socials & the peacefulness of the time. The heck with hygiene & pasteurization! With all the germs & diseases of today, a penny lick doesn’t seem so bad!

By: Jan Cis

Jan Cis — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 14:04:37 +0000

I’m with the gross group. It’s amazing how far we’ve come. Any flavor of ice cream we want, any size dish, any size cone, all we want to eat! I had my ice cream social 6/27 and we ate 8 gallons of Turkey Hill, 2 of peanut butter ripple.

By: Amy

Amy — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 14:01:51 +0000

That’s interesting, but just one lick of ice cream would be kind of disappointing. A bowl or cone of Turkey Hill is so much more refreshing!

By: Margie

Margie — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 13:56:56 +0000

Maybe the penny lick would be good for other ice creams but TURKEY HILL deserves a FULL dish or cone..BET YOU CAN”T JUST HAVE ONE LICK!!!!

By: Emilia

Emilia — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 13:56:12 +0000

We would all be a lot thinner if they still used these!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice looking glass with a interesting history, I wonder if you can find these at flea markets?
Yeah for waffle cones!

By: Carol Triano

Wow, another bit of trivia I didn’t know. Just glad that today we can put as much Turkey Hill Ice Cream as we want in our individual ice cream bowls or cones. Thank Goodness !!!!

after visiting the ice cream festival at Penns Landing in Philly, I was wondering if this would be a better idea, to charge for the ice cream by licks; of course it would be a lot more work for the people dishing it out and probably more trash from the disposing of the cups and spoons, however small cones would be less trash. for the $5 admission that would be 500 licks. wow.

By: Alison

Alison — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:59:54 +0000

the glass probably cost more to make than the teaspoon of ice cream that was served in it! a very interesting fact indeed

By: Sue

Sue — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:48:38 +0000

Thank goodness those Penny Lick things aren’t around anymore. I can’t imagine they would be popular at all! Who would be happy with only a lick of Turkey Hill ice cream? Besides,, with cones, you get a double treat!

By: Linda Leffler

Linda Leffler — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:48:24 +0000

This is a very interesting I bet that is where the idea for the paper ketchup cups originated. Linda

Karen — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:43:59 +0000

When I first looked at the picture, I thought they were egg holders like my great-grandmother had for soft-boiled eggs, so I was unsure at first what eggs had to do with licking ice cream!

By: Margaret M

Margaret M — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:43:24 +0000

They sure knew how to market the penny-licks by making it appear you were getting a lot more than you were. I can’t imagine having that small amount of ice cream but back then you were lucky if you had a penny to spend so I’m sure they were happy with that.
Turkey Hill ice cream is on my weekly shopping list because I could never be satisfied with just a “lick”

By: Russ

Russ — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:43:19 +0000

Makes me wonder where you could pick up a couple of those penny licks today!

I have seen these glasses. I didn’t know the name was Penny Lick. That was an interesting story. I can remember sitting in a drug store and ordering a dish of ice cream and thinking how lucky I was to be served my favorite food.

By: Diane Waldo

I hadn’t heard of a penny lick before. I’ll stick with the waffle cone, thanks!

Glad they dont have the penny lick anymore. Definately need a cup of ice cream.

By: ice cream alcoholic

ice cream alcoholic — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 11:44:31 +0000

does anyone know why they offered penny licks? Was it to allow you to try the ice cream before buying? I wonder how much ice cream they actually held. Our ice cream stands allow you to taste anything and serve it on a little plastic spoon, about a tablespoon’s worth.

I think I would be very upset to have just one lick of ice cream and a penny back then was worth around a hundred pennies now

By: Karen

Karen — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 10:53:39 +0000

Interesting story, I am a collector and have never seen or heard of them. I agree that they were gross, no wonder the plague and other diseases spread!!!! I think the ice cream cone was a great invention, too bad it’s not a penny though.

Ive heard of penny candy, penny for your thoughts and henny penny but never penny lick… thanks TH for my daily trivia dose. Ive always been told I was a wealth of knowledge ( well mainly useless knowledge but fun nevertheless) and this just got addd to the “storage bank”.

A penny probably went a lot further in the 1800′s. I’ll take a waffle cone over that thing anyday.

Kind of gross but for ice cream it might be worth it! (nah, give me a cone any day)

An interesting bit of history. I’m all in favor of paper product servers myself. Much more sanitary. But of course cones were a great invention.

Never heard about the Penny Link; but if they were cleaned between uses and used today, it would be a great way to sample a variety of flavors.

I never heard of the penny lick before and found it very interesting. This makes good conversation with other ice cream lovers, as myself.

Huh…interesting…great wau to get rid of your pennies…glad the cone was invented though b/c I enjoy eating ice cream that way. I always pack the cone first though, a lot of people just put a scoop on top.

I think you opened up a can of worms.With the economy the way it is,Ice cream shops may start using the depression glass and charge a $1.50.The cost of inflation,I guess.

I read about these before – ick at them being reused! But for ice cream, it might just be worth it…

If it wasn’t for your ice cream my husband would go insane! He has to have a bowl (or two) every night after our daughter goes to bed. It calms him from his crazy day! Thank you for all you do!
