edenfalling: colored line-art drawing of a three-scoop ice cream sundae (ice cream sundae)
[personal profile] edenfalling
I love Google: today their header graphic is a picture of an ice cream sundae (the two scoops are serving as the two Os in the site name), in celebration of, and I quote, the "119th Anniversary of the First Documented Ice Cream Sundae."

Which would be Ithaca, on Sunday, April 3, 1892.

:-D


The Google logo designers are hedging their bets, of course, by saying first "documented" sundae rather than flat-out first sundae -- not that Two Rivers, Wisconsin needs appeasing, because they are wrong in their claims. But anyway, Ithaca really is the only town that has proof of a sundae's invention at the time we say it was invented. There is a local newspaper advertisement for a cherry sundae on April 5, 1892. None of the other places have anything other than hearsay for decades after their claims. We have documentary proof within three days. Take that!
