National Hot Fudge Sundae Day

A sundae is the perfect treat to enjoy on a summer night. Good thing it’s National Hot Fudge Sundae Day! The cold ice cream paired with a warm, chocolate topping is a delectable combination. Whether you choose to cover yours with nuts, whipped cream, cherries, or all three, an ice cream sundae is always delightful.

Several record-setting sundaes have been documented by the Guinness Book of World Records. For example, the most expensive sundae can be ordered at Serendipity 3 in New York City for the hefty sum of $1000. Meanwhile, the longest sundae was created by The Kids Club in Brunswick, Georgia in 2009. It measured over 130 feet long!

To celebrate National Hot Fudge Sundae Day, you don’t have to go to such great lengths. Just treat yourself to a scrumptious hot fudge sundae with all of your favorite toppings!
