Whitey’s Ice Cream is an ice-cream parlor chain based in Moline, Illinois. This ice cream has been an icon of the Illinois and Iowa Quad Cities since it was founded in 1933.
Whitey’s Ice Cream is known for their extra thick shakes and malts, which can be held upside down. This is due to their innovation of high-powered malt machines and careful preparation by trained Whitey’s employees. They also credit themselves with the creation of candy bar shakes and chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. They also worked to develop a “No Sugar Added” ice cream sweetened with Splenda brand sweetener targeted toward diabetics.
One of Whitey’s newest flavors is Sgt. Camo, which is a camouflage-colored ice cream made from Graham cracker, marshmallow ice cream, and a ribbon of Whitey’s fudge. All profits from the sale of Sgt. Camo are donated to various military veterans groups. Sgt. Camo has been sent to the Pentagon, and also to military and their families before troops are deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.
