You Scream, I Scream

15 Scoop, Fifth Third Fanatic Freeze Sundae One of Many New 2010 Concessions!

On Wednesday, March 24th, the Toledo Mud Hens held their annual 'new food' press conference. Craig Nelson and the folks from V/Gladieux unveiled a number of new food items that will be available to fans at Fifth Third Field in 2010. The cameras were clicking furiously as the Fifth Third Fanatic Freeze sundae (15 scoops of ice cream!) was topped off and carried to the table to be displayed.

V/Gladieux General Manager Craig Nelson said, "Every year we compile a list of potential new menu items. The list is comprised of suggestions from our fans as well as new products presented to us from our suppliers."

"This year the big item is the 'Fifth Third Fanatic Freeze Sundae' which is fifteen scoops of Toft’s ice cream served in a full size souvenir helmet for $25. It will serve 1 to 8 fans, you can enjoy by yourselves if you love ice cream or share with family and friends."

I'm not a huge fan of ice cream (except homemade vanilla). I have the sensitive teeth and eating a scoop of ice cream can be quite painful. But I make up for it by eating every other fattening food in the world. What I am excited about with this story is the one upmanship going on between minor league baseball teams in the realm of fatty ass foods. I really would love to tour minor league parks one year and eat all this junk. Of course I'd probably need lap band surgery when I was done. Maybe I can get with the Midland Rockhounds people and think something like this up.
