In this new Ice Cream Journal feature, we’ll ask five ice cream-related trivia questions. You can use the internet to find the answers, but not all of these questions will be easy! Once you’ve got the answers (or think you do), email your answers via the Ask Ernie link in the right hand sidebar or send them to icecreamjournal@gmail.com by the end of the day on Thursday, July 9. We’ll choose one person with the correct answers at random to receive this week’s trivia prize.
Here are the questions. Feel free to discuss them with a comment, but don’t give away any of the answers. Good luck!
1. Which three U.S. cities are locked in a battle to determine which location gave birth to the ice cream sundae?
2. Which Native American tribe named the land which inspired the Turkey Hill Diary name?
3. In what year did Turkey Hill purchase its first Giant Cow?
4. The world’s largest ice cream sandwich was created in 1988. Rounding its weight up to the nearest 500 pounds (use the weight most commonly cited in most historical accounts), how many Turkey Hill ice cream sandwiches would you need to buy to equal the weight of that record-setting treat?
5. What percentage of people, according to a Harris poll, admit to eating ice cream in the bath tub?
TRIVIA PRIZE: This week’s trivia prize is the Alessi Big Love ice cream bowl designed Miriam Missi. The bowl is available in light blue, orange, pink or green (winner gets their choice of color). The best part – and the reason it’s called “Big Love” – is the spoon with the heart-shaped end. The idea is that you can eat off of one side of the heart, while you significant other (including pets) can eat off the other side!
The prize will be awarded to one person who emails all the correct answers to icecreamjournal@gmail.com by the end of the day on Thursday, July 9. Good luck!

For questions 4 and 5 can we be in the ballpark (within a couple of numbers of the exact number)?
With these trivia Mondays I hope to learn quite a bit about ice cream. I better go now and begin my search for the answers.
what a great set of questions. I love learning stuff like this and the challenge to find the answer. good luck everyone.
What’s with the math problem (#4)???
I would love to know the answers but now that the kids are home probably have very little time to look them all up. It would be great if they would help but they are much better at eating the ice cream. Well, we’ll give it our best shot!
Nope, never ate ice cream in the tub either,
Wish I had more time to spend on the trivia questions! Good luck everyone!
those questions were crazy i didn’t no any answers. good luck to the winner!
Who eats ice cream in the bathtub? It would melt too quickly!
Good questions, I look forward to the answers….
That was interesting…found out a couple of other facts along the way too!
fried ice cream!!!! AHHHHHH Heaven
I’m not real picky about what bowl I use for ice cream … as long as I get to eat ice cream.
Who needs a bowl? I live alone so can eat right out of the carton if I want. The spoon is cute, though.
Love this Trivia thing, what GREAT fun! And a reward to boot!! Splendid!
That spoon is AWESOME!!!!
What fun! Love that spoon!!
turkey hill has great ice cream and wonderful games
How many of you are looking busy in your cubicle, but really searching for the answers on company time? Just wondering…
should have a heart shaped gold plated spoon to eat the BEST ice creams in the world!!!
Neat bowl and spoon let me at em!!!!
MONDAY TRIVIAS ARE FUN
One of my daughters delights in her “spa day” treat for herself. Every once in a while she soaks in a long hot bubble bath complete with bath pillow and candles and turkey hill ice cream! Her favorite is the chocolate ice cream with peanut butter swirls and peanut butter cups! Along with extreme cookies and creme! I’m always secretly jealous!! Now, on to those trivia questions. . . .
Great trivia quiz! I hope I win!
What a stylish spoon
I love Turkey Hill Ice Cream! My fave is black cherry!
Pretty dumb when it comes to quizes. Too lazy to delve for the answers Good luck to winner.
Neat spoon , good for taking medician with a ice cream chaser,
I am intrigued by #5. Never thought of eating ice cream in the bath tub, I’ll have to give it a try. Hey, how about a poll where people respond to the most unusual places they have eaten Turkey Hill.
Love the bowl and spoon!
Interesting bowl.Wonder if you can purchase it,in case you don’t win the trivia contest.Either way,Turkey Hill is the freshest tasting ice cream and should be the only ice cream allowed to be placed in the fun looking bowl.
that is the cutes ice cream set!! love the spoon!! <3
Sure, I’ve done that….. A good book and a dish of ice cream and warm water in the tub is great.
Good luck to all…will abe back to the journal after a few days of vacation!!
@J Mike:
I don’t think so, because I got #4 wrong when I was really close to the answer.
Im never eaten ice cream in the bath tub. I think that it would almost be a hassle cause you have to draw the bath and then go get the ice cream and go back. I like to eat my ice cream right away before it melts. O well, thats just me. I would like it though if someone special brought me ice cream while I was in a bath. Good Luck to everyone on the trivia.
I have a superb feeling that I got the answers right and hope to win. Good luck to all participants.
lOVE THE SPOON
