MOOSE TRACKS UPSETS VANILLA TO WIN ULTIMATE FLAVOR TOURNAMENT!

Monday, April 13th, 2009

In the history of sports, there have been only a few upsets of truly unimaginable proportion. Team USA over the Soviet Union in the 1980 “Miracle on Ice.” Joe Namath leading the Jets to a stunning win over the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III. Buster Douglas outpunching Mike Tyson to shock the boxing world in 1990.

And today, Light Recipe Moose Tracks joins that list of legendary underdogs with an amazing win over defending champion Vanilla Bean in the second annual Turkey Hill Ultimate Flavor Tournament.

It’s no doubt that the win is among the greatest ever, but some might argue that what Moose Tracks accomplished over the last seven days qualifies as perhaps the greatest upset in history. That distinction is granted not just because Light Recipe Moose Tracks – a 40-to-1 underdog entering the tournament – beat the number one flavor in the nation, but because of the incredible margin by which that victory was achieved. After more than 1,600 votes were cast by ice cream lovers across the nation, Light Recipe Moose Tracks handed Vanilla Bean a meltdown of epic proportions by grabbing a whopping 63 percent of the votes. Just minutes after the polls opened, Moose Tracks jumped out to a 12 to 1 lead and, by the end of the first day, everyone knew they were witnessing history in the making.

The win is truly legendary for other reasons, too. Vanilla Bean – the top-selling flavor in the nation, “the flavor that goes with everything” – wasn’t just beaten by any old ice cream, it was beaten by a light ice cream. Yes, the victory is an historic moment in ice cream history and signals a new era for light ice cream flavors worldwide. The defeat of the world’s greatest ice cream flavor by Light Recipe Moose Tracks has put light flavors on an equal freezer shelf with their regular peers. Equal in taste. Equal in quality. And now, finally, equal in the eyes of ice cream lovers worldwide.

THE ULTIMATE FLAVOR TOURNAMENT (ROUND 5): THE FINAL TWO!

Monday, April 6th, 2009

The Ultimate Flavor Tournament is designed to determine the best Turkey Hill ice cream flavor as determined by your votes. Each week we’ll narrow down the field until just one flavor is left standing. We’ll also choose 10 comments at random from all the comments left during the six week showdown and each commenter will receive a one month supply of Turkey Hill ice cream and we’ll choose one lucky comment to receive a ONE YEAR supply of ice cream.

And then there were two. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup put up a good fight early last week, before fading to finish eight percentage points behind Vanilla Bean. Meanwhile, Light Recipe Moose Tracks continued its amazing run to the final round with a decisive win over Tastykake Peanut Butter Kandy Kake.

Instead of asking Ernie for his opinion of who will win the Vanilla Bean vs. Light Recipe Moose Tracks battle, we decided to let each flavor plead its case for why it should be named Turkey Hill’s “Ultimate Flavor.”

VANILLA BEAN

“First, I’d like to congratulate my opponent for getting this far. It’s been a long road for both of us and we both deserve to be here. Why should I, Vanilla Bean, win the Ultimate Flavor Tournament? Well, I won it last year, which should count for something, and I go great with just about everything. You can dress me up with tons of different toppings. Go ahead, imagine me drizzled with chocolate and caramel syrup, topped with whipped cream and chopped peanuts. I look good, don’t I? And, I didn’t want to have to mention this, but Vanilla is America’s number one selling ice cream flavor…by a mile. Considering all that, I think the choice is pretty clear.”

LIGHT RECIPE MOOSE TRACKS

“Wow. I, uhh, really don’t know what to say. This whole experience has been pretty overwhelming and I’m so honored to be here representing not only the Light Recipe line-up, but every other Turkey Hill flavor who’s not afraid to mix things up with a little something extra. Why should you vote for me? Because a vote for Light Recipe Moose Tracks is a vote for all the fun that goes along with enjoying ice cream. I’m vanilla with fudge swirls and loaded with peanut butter cups…that’s a pretty exciting combination! I’m a Light Recipe ice cream, but I’ve got all of the flavor (and sometimes more) of just about any other ice cream in the Turkey Hill line-up. Oh, and I was featured on an episode of Unwrapped when the Food Network visited Turkey Hill. You gotta admit, that’s pretty cool! ”
