Sesquicentennial ice cream goes on sale this weekend

The winning flavor in UW–Madison’s statewide contest to create an ice cream flavor honoring the university’s sesquicentennial will soon go on sale.

“Praise to Thee, Our Almond Mocha” will be available at the Babcock Dairy Store on campus (1605 Linden Drive) beginning Saturday, May 1. Allen Ruplinger of Waukesha, Wis., suggested the mocha-flavored vanilla ice cream with almonds. His flavor bested nearly 800 others in the contest.
