There’s nothing like a nice stroll on the boardwalk on breezy summer day. The waves crashing against the shore. Kids playing in the sand. How ‘bout an ice cream cone to sweeten the memory? Double fudge with sprinkles? No problem!
Now we’re back on the boardwalk, cone in hand, just soaking up the sun and – HEY! THAT SEAGULL JUST STOLE MY ICE CREAM!!
Laugh all you want, but that’s exactly what happened to the people in the series of photos on this website. Actually, you can’t help but laugh when you see these photos. Those birds know a good thing when they see it! But I’ll bet none of the people in these photos were laughing when their treat was nabbed right out of their hand by a flying ice cream thief!

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
