Prairie Farms Partners with Chicago White Sox to Supply Ice Cream for 12-Scoop
Banana Split Sundae!
Carlinville, IL (April 1, 2014 ) – Just in time for the 2014 MLB Season, Prairie Farms Dairy today
announced their partnership with the Chicago White Sox to supply ice cream for the new 3 pound, 12scoop banana split sundae served in a full-size White Sox batting helmet. The sundae’s foundation is
four scoops each of Prairie Farms vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream. It’s drizzled with
caramel, strawberry sauce and chocolate syrup and includes two bananas, whipped cream and cherries.
The super-sized sundae will be sold at concession stands throughout the ballpark.
“Prairie Farms and the White Sox are two powerhouse brands and we’re excited about our partnership to
provide ice cream for the 12-Scoop Banana Split Sundae,” said Ed Mullins, Prairie Farms Executive
Vice President and CEO. “White Sox fans have enjoyed our soft-serve ice cream for over eight years, so
providing ice cream for the sundae scoops was a natural extension.”
In addition to soft serve and hard-pack ice cream, Prairie Farms single-serve milk and ice cream
novelties, including new Moon Pie and UFO sandwiches, are available at restaurants, concession stands
and food carts throughout U.S. Cellular Field during White Sox games.
