Giant Ice Cream Sundae Creation

Napoleon High School students have a picnic every spring, but that   year   they went on a record setting propaganda. The   students derived the motivation behind setting the record   from their physics and chemistry teacher Michael Kelly. Napoleon High School students  led by Kelly  assembled and ate a 160-foot ice cream sundae - setting the new world record for the Longest ice cream sundae, while raising funds for the school's Christmas Giving program, which provides holiday food baskets for the needy in Napoleon.

The previous world record for the longest ice cream sundae  measured 46.99 meters (154 ft,2 inches)  which was set by Turner Community Library  and Turner Recreation  Commission  at Turner Community Library in  Wyandotte, Kansas, United States of America.  Kelley also assembled 160 feet of eaves trough and propped it up on desks behind the school. The trough was lined with aluminum foil and then students filled it end-to-end with scoops from 22 gallons of ice cream donated by Napoleon's Borchardt Brothers Market. It had some yummy chocolate and strawberry   syrup   and whipped cream as a topping. It looked so attractive   that it appeared ready enough to be devoured by the onlookers.

Kelley derived the inspiration to create the biggest ice cream sundae   from his school days as a eighth grader in the Northwest Community School way back in 1974.  During those times they were required to construct only a 100ft sundae  as that was considered to be a record about 30 to 40 years ago. And having broken the 100 ft record in 1974  it was touted as a  huge achievement  in those olden times. No doubt Kelley has   his roots on making huge ice cream sundaes and breaking them off by surpassing  previous records set in those respective categories. Even today as a teacher himself he seems to have possessed the same old boyish excitement of making a big  ice cream  so big enough that it sets as a new benchmark by itself.

So here comes a man who is so very smitten and inspired making ice creams that  he constantly looks for  raising the bar himself. He is besotted by the sundaes  from his school days itself.

The longest ice cream measured 160 ft  and was set by  Napoleon High School  students and teacher Michael Kelley  outside the school at Napoleon, Michigan, United States of America  on May 5,2012.
