Ice Cream Facts and Fantasies
The history of ice cream dates back to 1776 when the first ice cream parlor opened in New York City. The largest ice cream sundae created in July 1988 in Alberta, Canada weighed over 54,000 pounds and had over 10,000 pounds of toppings.
Ice cream also replaced liquor during prohibition. Exotic flavors are also the reason ice cream has survived for centuries. Take Jelly Fish ice cream. Scientists crafted it so when people licked it calcium proteins activated and it glowed in the dark.
