St Louis Missouri – Ice Cream Eating in the summer has always been a family activity in St Louis.  The hot steamy conditions are perfect for a cool creamy treat.

But add to that treat a 2 minute time limit, no utensils of any kind except your face, and a wild and screaming gallery and you have yourself an Ice Cream Eating competition.  Mr C’s Ice Cream Emporium, the Ice Cream Blokes Ice Cream base held their inaugural contest over the Memorial Day weekend and the final was held the week after.  And boy did the crowds turn out.  After 8 hotly contested heats, 8 finalists fronted up with their eyes on the prize and they didn’t disappoint.

Did little Billy take on the big guns and win it all? Does green hair give you the upper edge? Does tag team eating with your brother give what it takes to take awy the cup.  Press play and all will be revealed.


Chicago IL – If you are a Techie and love Ice Cream, then this year’s National Restaurant Association show was all for you.  As always, the NRA show draws culinary experts, business owners and foodies alike but this year the ice cream contingent was all about what is new in Ice Cream technology. 

First up , the first ever Wi Fi compatable ice cream machine.  The Stoelting Company have brought ice cream making into the 21st century with a machine that can send data over the world wide web. Store operators can now have a technition access information and trouble shoot machine issues from their computer or smart phone, thus saving operators time and money on unnessecary service calls.

Then there is Cid. Every kids dream come true.  A robot that can assemble your own sundae with ice cream and candies layered together. The team at Robo Fusion have worked long and hard to bring this concept to a reality and you will not doubt get to meet Cid and his other Ice Cream cohorts at a theme park or attraction near you.
