D-backs’ Triple Play Sundae confirms people like large amounts of ice cream
Jul 17, 2016, 7:04 PM
To nobody’s surprise, the Arizona Diamondbacks’ debut of the Triple Play Sundae this weekend went well.
The $25 item that includes two pounds of ice cream, brownies and waffle cones served in a batter’s helmet went on sale at Chase Field as the D-backs won their opening series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and people ate it up the best they could.
And guess what? Those people didn’t seem bothered by the intimidating size of the dessert that is marketed as a shareable treat.
For a size comparison, here is Luis Gonzalez holding the dessert in his mitt.

“It’s so good. Not only is it huge, it’s Cold Stone, so it’s really, really, really rich,” she said. “I feel like there isn’t really anything like this on the dessert side anywhere.”
The Triple Play Sundae even made it onto the Dodgers’ broadcast.
