ALLENTOWN, Pa. – On Saturday, 12 companies went head-to-head to see who could come out on top at this year’s Ice Cream Wars at the Da Vinci Science Center in Allentown.<\/p>\n
What’s the recipe for a delicious Ice Cream Wars?<\/p>\n
It’s lots of sugar and milk, lots and lots of liquid nitrogen, a ton of hard work and creativity.<\/p>\n
Executive Director and CEO of the Da Vinci Science Center, Lin Erickson said, “We have a large team on staff that works on it, and they work individually with the companies, so all the companies have to come up with their own flavors.”<\/p>\n
Flavors and themes to go along with them. “Today we had themes from everything from Taylor Swift to Saquon Barkley,” said Erickson. As well as K-Pop Demon Hunter and Minecraft, just to name a few.<\/p>\n
WFMZ 69 News once again got in on the action creating our very own Saquon Sundae.<\/p>\n
This this the 15th year for Ice Cream Wars and it’s always a fun way to sneak in a little science. A crash course on how liquid nitrogen takes milk and blends it into creamy ice cream.<\/p>\n
This year saw one of the biggest crowds. “We had over 2,200 people here today and most people are sampling every flavor,” said Erickson.<\/p>\n
Sampling and voting; this is a competition after all.<\/p>\n
In the end, City Center Group won the “People’s Choice” award with their hot chocolate ice cream. WFMZ won for “Best Teamwork.”<\/p>\n
Everyone went home with their bellies full of yummy ice cream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ALLENTOWN, Pa. – On Saturday, 12 companies went head-to-head to see who could come out on top at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83579,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[119,153,155,154,2211,27299,37611,41967,41968,523,41969],"class_list":{"0":"post-83578","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bethlehem","8":"tag-allentown","9":"tag-bethlehem","10":"tag-bethlehem-headlines","11":"tag-bethlehem-news","12":"tag-competition","13":"tag-da-vinci-science-center","14":"tag-flavors","15":"tag-ice-cream-wars","16":"tag-liquid-nitrogen","17":"tag-people","18":"tag-sampling"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83578","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83578"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83578\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83579"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
