Icecream Journal

Third time’s a charm. That’s what they say at least. If you’ve given it your best shot in the previous two trivia Monday blog entries but came up short, I have a feeling this is your week. (HINT: The blog itself can be a resource too!).

Below are 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. We’ll choose one person with the correct answers at random to receive this week’s trivia prize.

1. Ice cream isn’t generally known for its iron content, but which Turkey Hill frozen dessert leads the way by packing 4 percent of your daily allowance for iron in every serving? (There’s also a flavor with 6 percent iron. We’ll accept either flavor as the correct answer.)

2. How much is the Golden Opulence Sundae at New York’s Serendipity 3 restaurant?

3. In which two months is ice cream consumption the highest in the U.S.?

4. What percentage of ice cream novelties are consumed by adults?

5. How old was Ernie when he got his big break in the dairy industry?

TODAY’S PRIZE: Settle in with a bowl of your favorite flavor and a little reading material, because this week’s trivia prize is a library of ice cream books! Five books to be exact. One winner will receive Everybody Loves Ice Cream (a colorful look at ice cream history), Ice Cream Mix-Ins (a cookbook about great things to add to ice cream), Ice Cream Treats (how to transform ice cream into tasty treats), Ice Cream U (the story behind Penn State’s famous creamery), and Ice Cream: The Delicious History (a historical account of ice cream through the ages). Good luck!

It’s time for another round of trivia! This time, we promise there’s no tricky math questions. There was one last week that tripped up some people, including a few here at the Dairy.
