Sweet! Guinness declares massive sundae a record

Guinness World Records says a roughly half-mile-long ice cream sundae that was gobbled up in Michigan this June was the longest ever. The Ludington Daily News reports that the sundae measuring a little over 2,970 feet in length fed thousands of people lining eight blocks in the Lake Michigan town. House of Flavours organized the ice cream event in Ludington, about 160 kilometres northwest of Grand Rapids on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. According to Guinness, the previous longest ice-cream dessert was created in 2015 in Manurewa, New Zealand, and it was 1,957 feet and 1 inch.
