36 OUNCES OF ICE CREAM IN THREE MINUTES!

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Last week we told you about the Turkey Hill Eagles Touchdown Sundae Eating Contest we’ll be co-sponsoring this year with Philly’s #1 sports radio station, 610 WIP. The first contest was held this past Sunday before the Eagles season opener and needless to say, it was a battle!

In the end, Matt Clement of Lafayette Hill, PA emerged as the winner by eating 36 ounces of Eagles Touchdown Sundae ice cream in just three minutes (that’s the champ on the right). For those keeping count, that’s over two pounds of ice cream, and he wasn’t even allowed to use his hands! Congratulations to Matt. For his effort, he won a poster and helmet autographed by Eagles star Brian Dawkins. He also advances to the final showdown on November 9, where the winner will receive a prize package that includes limousine transportation, hotel accommodations and two tickets to see the Eagles take on the Giants on December 7.

The next Turkey Hill Eagles Touchdown Sundae Eating Contest will take place on September 21 before the Eagles/Steelers game. If you think you’ve got what it takes to win, feel free to sign up on the WIP website. Good luck!

THE EAGLES TOUCHDOWN SUNDAE EATING CONTEST IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!

Friday, September 5th, 2008

Many of you many know that that Turkey Hill’s Eagles Touchdown Sundae ice cream is the official ice cream of the Philadelphia Eagles football team. It’s a distinction we’re very proud of, which is why Turkey Hill has partnered with Philly’s #1 sports radio station, 610 WIP, to host this year’s Eagles Touchdown Sundae Eating Contest.

Long story short, if you love ice cream, love football and don’t mind being whisked around New York in a limousine, this contest is for you. Here’s how it will work:

The contest will feature four preliminary showdowns held at the WIP game day tent at the Wachovia Center before the first four Eagles home games of the season. In each contest, eight contestants will battle to see who can eat the most ice cream. But there’s a catch: They can’t use their hands (you didn’t think it would be easy, did you?). The winner will advance to the final eat-off on November 8 and will also receive a poster and helmet autographed by Eagles star Brian Dawkins.

On November 8, the four winners of the preliminary rounds will face off and the champion will receive two tickets to see the Eagles take on the Giants in New York as well as limo transportation and hotel accommodations!

We may be a little biased, but it’s a pretty sweet prize package. A lot of us around the office wish we were eligible, but we’re not, so it’s up to you to take a shot at it! The good news is, you don’t have to have Eagles tickets to compete. You just need to sign up on the WIP website (here) and show up at the booth on game day. We’ll keep you posted about the winners of each round and offer complete coverage of the championship round here on the Ice Cream Journal. Stay tuned and good luck!
