The Perfect Dessert Is an Ice Cream Tulip Sundae
Have You Had a Hot Fudge Tuilip Sundae Lately?
Hot Fudge Tulip Sundaes, you know what they are if you're one of the Boomer generation or if you ever wandered up to the lunch counter at a Woolworth's Five & Dime Store. They usually cost a quarter but sometimes you'd get to pop a balloon and find a lower price marked on a piece of paper falling out of the balloon and you'd think you'd won a lotto. Woolworth's Hot Fudge Sundaes came loaded with whipped cream, chopped nuts, cut up strawberries and a maraschino cherry served in a tall Tulip stemmed glass.
Today they're packed with nostalgia, loaded with memories and sprinkled through and through with emotion. They're a door to a simpler time, a nostalgic moment locked in time and space forever. Serving a loved one a Hot Fudge Tulip Sundae is more than offering them a dessert. At the very least it's an experience and, if you're lucky, a walk down memory lane. Better yet, why not share one?
