11/16: Big sundae

Big Indian sundae, that is. In western India, in the city of Ahmedabad. It isn't a record sized sundae, but it was built in just over an hour and fed 50,000.

What this really says: the starving children of India, so popularized by mothers everywhere trying to get their kids to eat, are now well-fed. India is not the starving country it once was. Thanks to the government's de-nationalization of its farming industry and a few decades of growth, they have so much food that they can play with it.
