On Sunday afternoon, April 3, 1892 , Ice Cream Sundae was born.
Reverend John M. Scott visited the Platt & Colt Pharmacy in downtown Ithaca.
There, the first documented “Cherry Sunday” was born.
Today, after 119 years later, on sunday afternoon,
Google celebrates Ice Cream Sundae’s anniversary with Doodle.
Google is great at marketing special days or events using its Doodle.
Everyone around now knows about this special day thanks to Google.
To celebrate this sweet Sunday, I gathered some interesting facts about Sundaes:
1. The most common types of sundae are chocolate caramel, butterscotch or strawberry. Many other toppings are placed on a sundae, but they are not part of the orginial makeup.
2. An Ice Cream Sundae is called a Sundae because most local laws banded Ice Cream sodas to be made on Sundays, so this treat was made to be eaten on Sundays.
3. The birth of first documented sundae was on April.3rd, 1892, but there are various claims to the invention of the our beloved ice cream sundae.
If your mouth is feeling watery after reading about sundaes, check out Marble Slab Creamery. In my opinion, they have the best ice cream sundaes! There is one on Cambie and West Broadway =)
