OK, so this is so random I did not know this post was going to be a post until like 30 minutes ago when I was working on a post and had to Google something. Then I saw this image. In hovering over it I come to find out it is the 119th anniversary of the ice cream sundae. How fun is that. The sundae is an ice cream dessert. It typically consists of a scoop of ice cream topped with sauce or syrup, and in some cases other toppings including chopped nuts, sprinkles, whipped cream, or maraschino cherries.
The first historically documented sundae was created on Sunday, April 3, 1892. So take time and go have a sundae, but oh wait until next year when it is the 120th anniversary, then we'll just get crazy! But now, why is Google celebrating the 119th anniversary of the first documented ice cream sundae. Somehow, this didn't seem the most obvious thing to be celebrating, though Google seems to believe that the ice cream sundae was invented first by someone in Ithaca, N.Y. That someone is alleged to have been a pharmacist. However, this all seems obscure that some, have attempted to claim an insider's knowledge of this Google ruse. Search Engine Watch, for example, is sniffing that "Sunday's sundae is Google's way of whetting the world's appetite for the latest Android update, nicknamed Ice Cream." But might this doodle have other intentions? Here is some of the thoughts: Might it, for example, be the work of worried Google staffers, encouraging new CEO Larry Page to eat a little more as he attempts to drive Google beyond its current, slightly static state? Might it also be worried Google staffers expressing their need for a little cherry atop their lives, as the drive to become a new Google is taking its toll on their fun quotient? One final view was that this is a symbolic recruiting tool. Google is trying to tell engineers out there that it is tired of its vanilla image. What is the company now looking for? Engineers with a little more sauce. Oh, and more nuts. As for me, I just thought it was fun!
