Webster University
has delivered a wonder this time. And
this time it has got to do with everyone’s
favourite. The previous record stood to 152.2 ft. Webster
blew that sad little junior sundae out
of the water with its 200.3 foot ice cream sundae, which was built on the university's quad.
This
epic and delicious event was the kick-off to Webster's annual Spring Fest. Lauren
Douglass, the programme manager was urged to take the full scoop
out to display the mammoth record
breaking ice cream sundae story to the crowd. Webster University students and staff prepared an 200.3 foot
ice cream sundae - setting the
new world record for the Longest Ice Cream Dessert. The record-breaking sundae
included 456 pounds of vanilla ice cream, eight pounds of cherries and fourteen
pounds of rainbow sprinkles. With more than 80 volunteers scooping and
sprinkling away, the record was broken in less than 30 minutes.
Minnick's Surveying provided the official measurement of 200.3 feet and served
as official witnesses alongside Hannah Ingram of the Opera Theatre of St. Louis.
The entire bunch of onlookers were controlling their temptation only to
pounced upon after the official measurements.
The whole bunch of ice cream lovers swarmed
upon the delicious looking sundae with spoons
and bowls in hand.
The campus activities group at Webster has made giant sundaes in
the past, so they weren't strangers to the world of over-sized desserts, but
this was definitely the largest attempted in the college's history. Set-up for
the sugarcoated event began at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, March 12, and construction
of the colossal sundae began at noon. With more than 80 volunteers scooping and
sprinkling away, the record was broken in less than 30 minutes. Minnick's
Surveying provided the official measurement of 200.3 feet and served as
official witnesses alongside Hannah Ingram of the Opera Theatre of St. Louis.
The largest ice cream sundae measured 200.3 ft and was set by the
students and staff of Webster University at St Louis, Missouri, United States
of America on April 17,2012.
