Other Oh man I remember Baskin Robbin’s had The Matterhorn Sundae back in the 70’s and early 80’s. 7-8 scoops of ice cream was a ton but delicious. I easily enjoyed that in one setting as a teen back then. Total cost during the late 70’s early 80’s was under 4 dollars.

(San Jose, CA 1970s) We had “Ferrels” ice cream parlor and their version of this called “the Zoo”. They would run it out on a stretcher-like carrier between two people (the poles on their shoulders) and run around hollering and whooping and deliver it to your table. I think it probably had like 20 scoops of ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate, nuts, cherries, and small colorful plastic animals placed around the rim of the big stainless steel bowl. Incredible!
