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!
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.
