OT: Toledo Mudhens offering a sundae in a real Helmet

Submitted by formerlyanonymous on

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.

They must have gotten the idea from that ridiculous hamburger at West Michigan Whitecaps games.

Is anyone else missing "Reply" buttons on some threads?

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.

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.

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.
