TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) â Lofty Pursuits held their 10th annual Ice Cream Eating Contest on Sunday afternoon, in honor of National Ice Cream Day after taking 2020 off due to the pandemic.
The ice cream of choice for this contest? Vanilla, which is considered a more stable and neutral flavor. I started doing the ice cream eating competition because I thought it was fun, said Lofty Pursuits owner Greg Cohen, who has owned the place for going on 28 years now. President Ronald Reagan declared the third Sunday of July National Ice Cream Day, in possibly the most boring proclamation that has ever been written. That made me laugh for some reason, that something as exciting and fun as ice cream was turned into boring text by a politician. So, I make sure I read it every year to remember how bad it is.
