Wichita’s Quirky Ice Cream Shop Breaks Guinness World RecordWichita’s Quirky Ice Cream Shop Breaks Guinness World Record Wichita, Kansas, is now home to a world record-breaking ice cream shop. “The Donut Whole,” known for its outlandish ice cream creations, has shattered the Guinness World Record for the largest ice cream sandwich. On August 14, 2023, the shop assembled a behemoth ice cream sandwich that weighed a whopping 5,275 pounds (2,393 kilograms). The gargantuan sandwich consisted of two massive oatmeal cookies, each measuring approximately 6 feet in diameter and weighing over 1,200 pounds. The ice cream filling, made with a blend of chocolate and vanilla, weighed in at over 3,500 pounds. The epic feat was overseen by Guinness World Records adjudicator Carlos Martinez. It took a team of over 20 volunteers and staff members to assemble the monstrous sandwich, which required a custom-built platform to hold its weight. “We’re thrilled to have broken this world record,” said Matt Wagoner, owner of The Donut Whole. “It’s a testament to the creativity and passion of our staff and the support of our loyal customers.” The world record-setting ice cream sandwich was not intended for public consumption. Instead, it was donated to a local food bank for distribution to families in need. The Donut Whole has a long history of pushing the boundaries of ice cream. In the past, they have created ice cream cones shaped like famous landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Golden Gate Bridge. They are also known for their over-the-top ice cream sundaes, which often feature towering layers of toppings and decorations. The Guinness World Record for the largest ice cream sandwich has previously been held by a team in Fort Worth, Texas, who created a sandwich weighing 4,500 pounds in 2015. The Donut Whole’s record-breaking sandwich now holds the prestigious title. The shop’s success is a testament to the power of creativity and the desire to bring joy to people through food. The Donut Whole has become a beloved destination for ice cream lovers in Wichita and beyond, known not only for its world records but also for its unique and delicious treats.
