ICE CREAM TRIVIA: TRUE OR FALSE EDITION

Posted by: Turkey Hill Team

softconeWe’re back with some more brain-busters in this month’s edition of Ice Cream Trivia. This time we’re firing 10 true or false questions at you and asking you to separate fact from fiction. Instead of e-mailing your answers to us at icecreamexperts@gmail.com, feel free to leave your answers with a comment. We’re pretty sure no one will copy your answers, since you can’t be sure if the person you’re copying from is right or wrong!

Those of you who get all 10 questions correct will be entered to win some free Turkey Hill ice cream.

1. The most popular and best selling flavor of ice cream in the nation is chocolate.

2. The Turkey Hill Giant Cow lives up to its name by standing 19 feet tall and weighing in at over 5,000 pounds!

3. Despite the economic recession, national sales of ice cream actually increased in 2009, rising 1.5 percent as Americans found comfort in their favorite dessert.

4. Even though they sound alike, sorbet is different from sherbet because sorbet contains no dairy products while sherbet can contain one to two percent milkfat.

5. National Ice Cream Month in July was created by former president Jimmy Carter in 1976 as part of America’s bicentennial celebration.

6. French vanilla ice cream contains egg yolks, which traditional vanilla ice cream does not.

7. Immigrants at Ellis Island were served ice cream as part of the welcoming to America.

8. Pat Bertoletti, a culinary student from Chicago, holds the world record for ice cream consumption by eating 1.75 GALLONS of ice cream in just 8 minutes during a contest in 2006.

9. You can purchase all sorts of sports-themed stuff in Turkey Hill’s online store, including golf balls, baseballs, footballs and hockey pucks.

10. The first ice cream parlor in America opened in Philadelphia in 1776.

1.FALSE. According to a survey done by Country Living magazine Scoop for scoop, America prefers vanilla. At nearly every major ice-cream company — Edy’s, Dreyer’s, Häagen-Dazs, Turkey Hill, Blue Bunny, Friendly’s, Carvel — this classic flavor sells more than any other.

2.FALSE. The cow is big, but not 19 feet tall. According to the Turkey Hill site this dairy giant is 13 feet tall.

3.FALSE. According to market research publisher Packaged Facts the U.S. market for ice cream and related frozen desserts increased 2% to reach $25 billion in 2009, despite the recession.

4.TRUE. Sorbets never contain any type of dairy product. According to TLC Cooking, most brands of sherbet sold in supermarkets contain 1 to 2% milk fat or cream – but may also contain gelatin or egg whites.

5.FALSE. According to the International Dairy Foods Association site President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day in 1984.

6.TRUE. French vanilla contains egg yolks which give the flavor a richer consistency than traditional vanilla.

7.TRUE. According to The History Channel site immigrants were served their first “taste of America” in the Ellis Island cafeteria —with strange new dishes like ice cream included on the menu.

8.TRUE. According to the International Federation of Competitive Eating site, Patrick “Deep Dish” Bertoletti won the GoldenPalace.net World Ice Cream Eating Contest by consuming 1.75 gallons of ice cream in eight minutes in 2006.

9.FALSE. There are TURKEY HILL themed golf balls, baseballs, and MINI footballs available, but no hockey pucks that I could find.

10.FALSE. According to MakeIceCream.com the first ice cream parlor in America opened in New York City in 1776 – not Philadelphia.
