Nothing says America like the national pastime and promoting obesity.
The Chicago White Sox will sell an over-the-top ice cream sundae to fans at U.S. Cellular Field this season, stacked 12-scoops high in vanilla, chocolate and strawberry flavors with two bananas and topped with caramel, strawberry sauce, chocolate syrup, whipped cream and cherries.
ESPN’s Darren Rovell reported on the artery-clogging confection that comes served in a full-sized batting helmet and weighs three pounds.
White Sox senior vice president of sales and marketing, Brooks Boyer, told ESPN the sundae is intended to feed a family, although “I’m sure a couple fans are going to try to crush it alone.”
“We’ll have something special for the first person who takes it down by themselves.”
If the cholesterol-heavy ingredients aren’t enough to make your blood pressure shoot up, the sundae’s $17 price tag just might.
The White Sox will have stiff competition for bragging rights over baseball’s unhealthiest concession food with the Arizona Diamondbacks, who are offering fans the D-bat Dog – an 18-inch corn dog stuffed with bacon, cheese and jalapenos and includes a side serving of fries.
Not far behind is the Texas Rangers’ bacon on a stick.
