"Ice cream is centuries old and can be found around the world. The most ubiquitous flavors are impossible to trace exactly back to its origins, but we can get close. Chocolate ice cream dates back to the 1690s in Italy, even before vanilla, which didn't show up until the 1760s. Given all the specialty flavors found in ice cream shops today, from Flamin' Hot Cheetos to Thanksgiving dinner, you could safely argue there are thousands of ice cream flavors in the world."
"Tin Roof ice cream was first invented as a sundae in the 1930s in the small town of Potter, Nebraska, at a place called Potter Sundry. It's made with vanilla ice cream, and topped with hot fudge, chocolate ice cream, and warm marshmallow drizzle. A few salty, skin-on Spanish peanuts, one of the ultimate ice cream sundae upgrades, complete the dish. These classic flavors blend salty and sweet in just the right proportions, offering contrasting texture and temperature."
Ice cream has centuries-old roots worldwide, with chocolate recorded in 1690s Italy and vanilla appearing in the 1760s, leading to thousands of modern flavors. Tin Roof originated in the 1930s as a sundae in Potter, Nebraska, served at Potter Sundry. The sundae combines vanilla ice cream with hot fudge, chocolate ice cream, warm marshmallow drizzle, and skin-on Spanish peanuts to balance salty and sweet and contrast textures and temperatures. Harold Dean "Pinky" Thayer named the dessert after tin roof ceiling tiles above the counter and created other desserts, but Tin Roof achieved lasting popularity and wider availability by the 1960s.
