Video: Italian ice-cream fan balances 121 scoops on one cone

Proud Italian Dimitri Panciera loves ice-cream so much that two scoops just isn't enough, he prefers to squeeze as many as possible on top of a cone.

 

At the annual Gelatimo ice-cream festival in Forno di Zoldo, Italy, Dimitri achieved the Guinness World Records title for the Most ice-cream scoops balanced on a cone.

 

 

Carefully piling an incredible 121 balls of the frozen dessert onto one cone, he successfully topped his own record of 109 scoops.

 

The rules for this challenge state that the cone has to have a diameter no greater than 9.5 cm (3.74 in) and that once all the scoops are balanced, they must remain on the cone without falling for a minimum of 10 seconds.

 

 

The record-breaker claims his secret for success is using local artisan ice cream that the Val di Zoldo area produces.

 

Dimitri has also served up the world’s Largest ice-cream scoop - a gigantic spoon that measured 1.95 m (6 ft 4.7 in) long and 58 cm (1 ft 10.8 in) wide, with a depth of 17 cm (6.6 in).

 

The super-sized scoop has a working mechanism to eject the ice-cream.

 

Dimitri’s food feats have earned him a place in the Guinness World Records 2017 Edition, alongside thousands of other jaw-dropping and mouth-watering records.
