EVEN GIANT COWS NEED A REFILL NOW AND THEN

Posted by: Turkey Hill Team

A quick thinking Turkey Hill fan snapped this photo of our Giant Cow making a pit stop on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Ernie winced when he saw this photo because of the tight fit between the cow’s head and the roof, but she made it out okay (our drivers are professionals!). If anyone sees our Giant Cow this summer, take a picture and send it to us. We’ll post it here on the Ice Cream Journal!

Speaking of our bodacious bovine, the Turkey Hill Giant Cow is on Twitter. A week or two ago we told you Turkey Hill was on Twitter (feel free to check us out here), but now our cow is tweeting her days away. As you’d expect from a cow, her tweets are somewhat simple, but you can watch her and, if you’re a Twitter use, follow her here.

If you have never tried Turkey Hill Philadelphia Style Vanilla you absolutly must. It tastes so rich and wonderful that it is the only ice cream that stands up to my home made Blueberry Syrup. What a summer treat. Can’t wait for dessert time. Yum!

Duetto is a great name, but since it’s already taken by the ice cream…Swirlz would be nice. Maybe Turkey Hill should have a contest for that-NAME THAT COW, MAN!

I would have loved to see the cow on the turnpike also! Bet she turned a lot of heads!!


Marion wrote:

If I would eat as much ice cream as I want I WOULD BE A COW!!!


Carol wrote:

You should have a contest to name the cow!! Of course the prize would have to include Turkey Hill Ice Cream!!!


Fergie wrote:

Imagine if that giant container of ice cream was real!


Ann R. wrote:

Your giant cow needs a name. She also needs a herd so many towns can receive bovine visitors simultaneously.


Donna wrote:

Wow! The cow just fit under there!!!! That is really neat!!!!

Kind of reminds me about the time I was in Lancaster and saw a horse and buggy pull up to the drive up window at the bank–just as I ran out of film. Glad you didn’t havethe same issue!

I’m not a Twitterer, but I am happy to see the turkey hill cow anywhere, anytime.


Lois wrote:

I know this is a Duetta cow, but our stores seem to have stopped Duetta, and I love it. Especially the coconut and chocolate. All gone. Love that cow. Seen it many times here in Lancaster County. It was just to our two TH stores in Etown with free samples of the new ice creamcake. Delicious

Deb wrote:

The first and only time I saw the cow was while I was holding two grandchildren on my lap at my daughter’s house. I was facing the window and saw the cow go by on the road in front of their house. The kids didn’t believe me when I said I saw a great big cow drive by (actually, I wasn’t so sure I believed me either!), so we looked it up online. We can’t wait to have a chance to go see the cow one day.


Cyndee wrote:

Love those Duetto cows and Duetto too!


Niecarrah wrote:

We have seen her twice at both our local Turkey Hill convenience stores. Guess we are among the lucky ones!! Keep MOOvin’ on down the road girl. All the children loving seeing you! My grandchildren would have burst they’re britches if they had seen that!!!


Janet Jones wrote:

Would have loved to see cow on recent trip to PA but missed it. Bring it to Colonial Williamsburg, Va. Wonder,did they have ice cream in colonial days?


Stephanie wrote:

I want the cow to bring me ice cream right now. Summer school is a total drab on my summer, but ice cream makes everything better.

Stephanie wrote:

Ann wrote:

Awesome picture! I have seen the TH cow up close and it is truly amazing! Not only do the kids love her, but so do the adults. I wish I had been there to see the toll takers face as well as other people who see a giant cow being driven down the road.


Peggy wrote:

I once saw the cow a few years ago at the Ice Cream Festival in New Castle County Delaware – AWESOME


Donna wrote:

If the cow filled up with Turkey Hill icecream, how much would she hold? Now there is a trivia question for you.


CHRISTINE wrote:

GREAT COW !!!!
DOES SHE COME IN DIFFERENT COLORS OR SHOULD I SAY FLAVORS. HA HA.
I ALWAYS LOOK FOR HER ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING THROUGH PA.


Sheryl wrote:

Ed Kifer wrote:

Just tried vanilla bean for the first time. This is not your grandfathers vanilla.


Ellen wrote:

Does the Giant Cow ever go out of PA.? We’d love to see her in northern VA.
It was a tight fit under that roof, glad she made it out OK.


Maureen wrote:

When my grandchildren come to visit the first thing that say is “Can we have ice cream” of course I bring out the Turkey Hill and have an excuse to have some myself. I didn’t know they had a traveling cow. I have to tell the grandchildren to watch out for it.

Margaret M wrote:

I would have loved to see that Giant Cow squeezed in there in person. Bet a lot of people stopped dead in their tracks to see that sight. That is the cutest way to advertise Turkey Hill products, really gets your attention!

Greg wrote:

The cow made it to the Big E in Western Mass once, and they had a story about it going to NH for a party once, so it probably does get to NJ now and again.


lori wrote:

Top off the tank.


Mary Anne wrote:

I live in western PA & was wondering if the cow ever travels this far west?!?


Meg Scannell wrote:

Speaking of refueling cows…live cows that is. Since milk is a staple of a nutritious diet, and young human babies need it, olderly women need it, and really any human who is developing bones drink it, what do cows drink? Do elderly or mid-life cows also drink milk on a daily basis, or does water suffice for them? I have always knows that cows produce milk, but have only seen troughs of water for them to drink from. Do they drink a fluid (milk) that comes from their own body, or other animals milk, or do they only get water? Makes me wonder…


I scream wrote:

One of my lifetime goals has always been to see the giant cow herself in person! I have pretty much stalked photos of her, and learned her history from the Turkey HIll page, but have yet to actually see her in person. I feel like we have such a history already or are such old friends because she is basically the mascott of the love of my life, so it pains me a little that I have not seen her. Perhaps I should relocate myself to Pennsylvania when I graduate from school!

Hahaha…so cute!
I wouldn’t mind a tub of ice cream as big as that one!!

Is there only one cow? It would be nice if anyone spotting her could have a free ice cream cone!Or you could swap gas in the tank for ice cream in our house!
