The ice cream sundae was "born" April 3, 1892 at the Platt & Colt Pharmacy on State Street in Ithaca. Its creation is well-documented, though Two Rivers, Wisconsin also stakes a claim of being the birthplace of the sundae (this may well be based on a hoax circulated by H.L. Mencken). This has set-up a veritable sundae war.But Rochtaster will throw its support behind our Upstate sister, and celebrate as an act of political allegiance!
Fellow truth-seekers and maraschino cherry-enthusiasts: I urge you to cast off the shackles of Wisconsin-dairy tyranny and arm yourselves with spoons and dreadlocks for dear old Ithaca -- to Read's!
Geez Louise! You had a lot of time on yours hands today.
