I love sundaes, but the 40 toppings sundae--or known as the ‘Every topping under the sun-dae’--that Tony Richards ate was just downright ridiculous!
At Cold Stone ice-cream, 40 different toppings are offered for your sundaes. These toppings range from Oreo cookies to marshmallows. But why have one or two toppings when you can have it all? That is exactly what Tony Richards did. He combined all of the 40 toppings on his sundae. This ‘Every topping under the sun-dae’ was a dessert that Tony Richards would never forget. Anyone up for a sundae?
