John Wagner of the Toledo Blade reports that Fifth Third Field, home of the Toledo Mud Hens has some new menu items at their concessions stands this year.
One of them is something called a Fifth Third Fanatic Freeze which is an ice cream sundae served in a full-size batting helmet made with 15 scoops of ice cream with five scoops of three flavors topped with whipped cream, hot fudge, rainbow sprinkles, peanuts and cherries. The calorie count of this monstrosity is somewhere around 3800.
Who knew you could experience such decadence in working-class Toledo?
Now the boys and I go to a Mud Hens game at Fifth Third Field a couple of times a year and this year will be no exception.
13 year old Computer Boy reads this blog and will see this and smile and go on to the next thing. He is not the problem.
7 year old Skate Kid can read but does not read this blog. In this case, that is a good thing because he doesn't need to know about this. There are some things that a 7 year old kid just doesn't need to know about.
Actually before we visit the park this year, I think I am going to make a quick call over there to see if they have any large advertisement signs for this sundae prominently displayed anywhere in the park. If so, I think I am going to need to find out just where they are so we can be sure to avoid these areas of the park.
Look, it's not like we make them eat raw carrots at the park but.....this thing?
Ummmm....no.
Decadence doesn't mix well with kids in my experience.

My wife and I had the worst fight we've ever had during a stop in Toledo.
I'm trying to connect that to a helmet filled with ice cream. ... Coming up with nothing.
Toledo does things to people.
I could tell stories too.
P.s. I have post ready to go for tomorrow which ends "coming up with nothing."
I am changing it now.
When I worked for UPS I had the pleasure of visiting "that BIG ASS UPS hub" in Toledo and wanted to try to catch a mud hens game. Do you think Management would give us the grace period...Heck NO! Grrrrrrr. However I'd be willing to bet that both of my kids and I could probably dig into that and there would be leftovers.
Oh and the helmet filled with ICE CREAM.....all I can come up with is David Wright's brain.
Tim,
If you are in town, bring some cash. The thing costs $25.
Check out the Dirty Bird lounge across the street. Not a gentleman's club or anything in spite of the name but a poor man's Hooters with a Toledo-like flair.

"poor man's hooters" ....Savor that line! I can imagine walking in and seeing knockers on the floor.
25.00 bucks for a helmet and food....that's cheap compared to some ball park prices.
Ha Ha on the Hooters interpretation!
