Iran has just defeated the United States in the Guinness World Record for biggest ‘cup’ of ice cream.

In 2005 Baskin Robbins won the title with a container of ice cream that weighed a little more than four U.S. (short) tons.  Iran has just taken the title with a container of chocolate ice cream weighing five tons!

I’m disappointed because my favorite Iranian ice cream is rose water, yet chocolate has become the favorite of many Iranians.  Mmmm, time for me to make my home made rose water ice cream!
