Do you think you have what it takes to become an ice cream cone-noisseur? A Michigan-based ice cream maker is launching a countrywide search for someone to fill its position of Ultimate Ice Cream Fan, and we think a Cincinnati ice cream enthusiast could be perfect for this job.
When selected, Hudsonville Ice Cream’s Ultimate Ice Cream fan will have some very important duties, including tasting the brand’s latest and greatest flavors, including fan-favorites like Traverse City Cherry Fudge, Brownie Batter Cookie Dough and Deer Traxx, as well as flavors available in bar format like SuperScoop. As a benefit of the job, you’ll also have access to other sweet prizes like $2,025 and exclusive ice cream swag.
“There are no shortcuts and no compromises when it comes to flavors that are truly worth it, and ice cream lovers know the difference. We’re searching for the Ultimate Ice Cream Fan to share their creativity and passion for what makes real ice cream so irresistible,” said Joel Ancrile, brand lead at Hudsonville Ice Cream. “We look forward to finding the Ultimate Ice Cream Fan, who will share their flavor findings with our team of experts as we continue to create the flavors meant to delight ice cream lovers everywhere.”
For a chance to win this coveted role, ice cream experts are asked to submit a 30-second video explaining why they know ice cream better than anyone else and should be named the Ultimate Ice Cream fan. Those entries are due by Thursday, Jan. 30.
Now, why do we think a Cincinnatian is uniquely qualified to become the Ultimate Ice Cream Fan? It’s simple: We’re surrounded by amazing ice cream. From the creamy, chocolatey-chunk Graeter’s that’s beloved by celebrities like Oprah and the rich, nostalgic scoops of Aglamesis Bros’ ice cream and Italian ices to United Dairy Farmers’ hand-dipped classics and all the creamy whips, Cincinnati just knows ice cream. And as good as Hudsonville is, our combined experience of such high-quality indulgences like Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip and fresh peach ice cream in the summer would make them just that much better.
