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.
