Joining the "TeriyAKRON Bowl" on the "Extreme Menu" is the giant, 32 ounce "The Ugly Duckling." It comprises 16 ounces of an Irish full-bodied stout beer is poured over three heaping scoops of vanilla ice cream and topped off with chocolate syrup and chocolate sprinkles. "The Ugly Duckling" is available to adults of legal drinking age at the Sock Hop Ice Cream Shoppe along the right-field concourse and will sell for $9.75.
"'The Pineapple TeriyAKRON Bowl' provides a unique ballpark item and an additional healthy option. As for 'The Ugly Duckling,' it is our first beverage item added to the 'Extreme Menu' and it is a very unique offering for our adult fans at Canal Park," said RubberDucks director of food and beverage Brian Manning.
"Food is such a big part of the fan experience at Canal Park and under the supervision of our food and beverage director, Brian Manning, our concessions options have really come to life," said RubberDucks general manager Jim Pfander.
Also available at the Sock Hop Ice Cream Shoppe are the full line of "Duck Floats," sure to be a hit for fans young and old. They will be available in 16-ounce size for $5 and a 32-ounce version for $8. Each float is made up of ice cream mixed with a flavorful soda and is named after a famous duck from the world of entertainment. There's "The Donald," made with Orange Crush soda and vanilla ice cream; "The Scrooge," made with Mountain Dew soda and vanilla ice cream; "The Howard," made with chocolate ice cream and Mug Cream soda; "The Daisy," made with Strawberry Crush soda and vanilla ice cream; and "The Daffy," made with Grape Crush soda and vanilla ice cream.
"The 'Duck Floats' will be a signature item and will make the Sock Hop Ice Cream Shoppe a destination concession stand at Canal Park for both kids and adults. These floats combine two of the most refreshing summer items (soda and ice cream) into a set of colorful and tasty beverages, which will become 'must-have' items at games this season," said Manning.
