A quick Googling of Ted Thompson in Mozilla Firefox yields the above return. Check out the featured answer in the right-hand column.

Google needs to re-think where/how it grabs photos for their featured returns & images used in those returns (in the right column).

Sorry Google... the Ice Cream Sundae was invented in Wisconsin

Posted on April 3, 2011

Today, April 3, 2011, Google featured a doodle of an ice cream sundae. They are championing the false claim that the ice cream sundae was created in Ithaca, NY today in 1892. From Wikipedia.org:

On Sunday, April 3, 1892 in Ithaca, John M. Scott, a Unitarian Church minister, and Chester Platt, co-owner of Platt & Colt Pharmacy, created the first historically documented sundae.[4][8] Platt covered dishes of ice cream with cherry syrup and candied cherries on a whim. The men named the dish "Cherry Sunday" in honor of the day it was created.

But, everyone in Wisconsin knows the truth, the ice cream sundae was originally created in 1881 in Two Rivers, WI. From Wikipedia.org:

George Hallauer asking Edward C. Berners, the owner of Berners' Soda Fountain, to drizzle chocolate syrup over ice cream in 1881.

We ask Google to please acknowledge the true origin of the ice cream sundae, Two Rivers, and make a doodle of that.
