New ice cream flavor named

by Chelsea Weiss - February 21, 2006

In honor of UConn’s 125th Anniversary, a freshly churned ice cream flavor was dubbed “UConnfetti,” after a landslide victory in online polls.

Mounds of the dessert with a birthday cake-like flavor were put to students’ practiced taste buds Friday during SUBOG’s annual One-Ton Sundae event. After an hour-long wait outside the Student Union, cold-nosed tasters dove spoon first into the newly named “UConnfetti.”

The name struck a chord with online voters.

The University’s 125th Anniversary logo is sprinkled with brightly colored confetti; and what better flavor to honor a birthday than one mimicking yellow-box cake?

The flavor – now available at the Dairy Bar – has been well received.
