      While it was obviously invented by the Prussian nobleman Fürst Pückler, who also invented modern landscape gardening and got his wealth from a series of erotic travel journals about England?

        Uh, acshually it was invented by the head chef of a prussian family IN HONOUR of Furst Puckler. Let’s put credit were it’s due, I hate when the work of professionals is misattributed to random rich people that just happened to be there at the right time.

        The same way, I’m sure Mr. Sandwich had nothing to do with the actual creation of the food that bears his name. He probably never even put foot in the kitchen.

        This is the most perfect comment on the Internet. A series of wildly unbelievable facts that sounds exactly like shit posting random bullshit, but is in fact, all true

      I inferred as much. It’s just a snide joke about how we call it something completely different over here.

          Why though? The first recorded recipe for it was created by a Prussian.

            Because the number of people/households who consume equal amounts of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream seems limited. And I don’t think there’s much to be gained by eating all three at once. Therefore it seems like something that has very little utility, so I’m surprised it would spread. Plus I can’t say I have any knowledge of it being invented outside the US, since to me it feels very… 1950s America vibe.

              The entire point is eating all three at once. If you don’t do it that way, your parents raised you wrong. Hehe. Scoop across, not within. Though to be fair, I’ve never bought the separated blocks one. I’ve only ever had the ones that are already swirled together to make the intention not only clear, but nearly impossible to circumvent.
