Norwegian company creates world's tallest ice-cream cone
July 30, 2015
A Norwegian ice-cream company has scooped a Guinness World
Records title after creating the world's tallest ice-cream cone ever with a
whopping 3- metre high confectionary construction.
Norway's
popular family-run ice-cream company Hennig-Olsen created the ice-cream cone
that measured a whopping 3.08 metre tall, earlier this month.
The giant cone weighed almost a tonne and was able to contain
1,080 litres of ice-cream -- enough for 10,800 people to have two scoops each --
as well as 60 litres of chocolate and 110 kg of waffle biscuit.
The ice-cream had to be airlifted by a helicopter from the
ice-cream factory where it was made, to an event in Kristiansand
in Southern Norway where a Guinness World
Records adjudicator was on hand to verify the attempt.
