Sundae war continues to slurp

ITHACA - Organizers are holding an ice cream sundae giveaway to declare Ithaca's victory in a decades-old frosty feud with a Wisconsin community, saying a pair of high school students have found proof their city is the birthplace of the sundae.

Despite Ithaca's celebration, the city of Two Rivers is sticking to its spoons and its own claim as the sundae's original hometown.

“This new research is incontrovertible and ends the sundae war and the debate that goes back to the 1930s,” said Bruce Stoff, tourism manager for the Ithaca-Tompkins County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
