TEHRAN, Iran — An Iranian confectioner has made five tons of ice cream in hopes of setting a new world record for the largest tub of the dessert.
The production drew hundreds of eager spectators to a ceremony north of the capital to taste the chocolate ice cream, which measured five feet by seven feet and which producers say cost over $30,000 to make.
Board Member Mohammad Baheri of Choopan Dairy said the company aimed to register a new Guinness World Record and also boost Iranian ice cream consumption.
