OT: Toledo Mudhens offering a sundae in a real Helmet
For those of you from Toledo, you already know Fifth-Third Field is one of the best minor league parks in the nation, but there's another reason for you to make it out to the park this season. Unlike other parks that give you a ice cream in a sovereign helmet about the size of your cupped hands, the Mud Hens are selling a full sized helmet full of ice cream. That's 15 scoops for those interested.
From their release, with video:
"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."
Good lord. If you finish it to yourself, you can get your name on a plaque from what I heard in the video.
(HT: @BaseballAmerica)
"It will serve 1-8 fans..." As a native of Toledo, I can assure you that more often than not it will be closer to 1 than 8.
USA! USA! USA!
That's why we beat the Germans at Iwo Jima.
Hm, you mean Japanese?
Unless of course you are quoting a movie that I haven't seen. If so, my apologies
Maybe you should think of it in terms of the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor.
Ahhhh, I understand now. Didn't make the connection
Merci
Beating the Germans at Iwo Jima was just the next logical step.
"Was it over when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
Otter:" Germans?"
Boon: "Forget it, he's rolling."
(I didn't even have to listen to the link... man, is that pathetic?)
I hope not because I did the exact same thing
even the stuff we didn't steal!
I'll attest, they do that in real life, too.
They must have gotten the idea from that ridiculous hamburger at West Michigan Whitecaps games.
Is anyone else missing "Reply" buttons on some threads?
No, but that happens on frozen threads. I haven't seen any of those in a few days.
I think it would be more fun if the threads were just deleted instead of being frozen. It's almost like a tease to see a potentially intense thread without the ability to respond.
Doesn't every minor league stadium have ridiculous food items? Like the krispy kreme bacon cheeseburger. Which, sounds so delicious.

But they could've gotten the idea from the Whitecaps, same organization and all.
I've had a "dynamite dozen" at a summer camp: 12 scoops in less than 12 minutes. Then I got in a hot tub. Interesting experience.
You live on that cutting edge!
Yikes!
Every Burger King, McDonalds, and Wendy's has been ravaged and destroyed between Kansas City and Toledo. A ginormous douchey amorphous blob was observed in footage of security cameras. Experts believe that Charlie Weis heard of the deal and is heading to Toledo for dessert.
He probably heard about the McDonald's All American thing in Columbus today. Reports of a "mobile McDonald's" in the area. We need to use it to lure Weis away from populated areas... or into Columbus for all I'm concerned.
i dont know all that pine tar might make the ice cream taste piney
And not pre-used.
Though, if authentic, the paddling must add an interesting flavor. Though theair holes must make it kinda messy on a hot day.
Some of that food looked pretty solid for "ball park" food. But the Sunday is epic.
They were distributing info on the new foods at 5/3rd at the last Toledo Walleye games, just this past weekend. 5/3rd field kicks all kinds of butt.
Big, jiggly Ice Cream Butt.
On another Walleye note, I hope they'll hold an NCAA regional hockey tournament at Lucas County Arena sometime now that it's built. NICE building for a minor league ice arena.
I love my Mudhens. I probably go close to once a week in the summer, so I'll have to learn NOT to order one every time.
The helmet alone is worth the $25.
Reminds me of this sweet nacho tray my father busts out for Michigan games.
It's a Michigan helmet*, where the nachos rest in a depression in the top and there is a tray for the cheese in the space between the helmet and the face mask.
*Don't worry it's a faux helmet.
This is not a "real" batting helmet. There is no padding, and it's made of much cheaper plastic. But it is the real size and shape of a batting helmet, so you can still put it on your head after 5 or 6 beers.
MMmmmmmmmmm...
Real question.. soft serve or hard scoops? 'cause that makes a difference. And will the hot fudge be Sanders hot fudge, or just a poor imitator? I care about these things you know.
Hand Dipped Ice Cream. Toft's is awesome.
though i find eating French Fries out of a real batting glove and Jock strap nachos to be not as challenging
