AGNR and Food Science Club Flavor Feud- Ice Cream Flavor Creation Contest!

Hello Fellow AGNR Terps!

We're excited to announce our exciting new program in partnership with the Food Science Club-- the ICE CREAM FLAVOR FEUD!

Submit ideas for an original. AGNR ice cream flavor, then vote for your favorites. The winning flavor will be produced by Rocky Point Creamery and served at the November 18th Cross Talk featuring AGNR Alumna, Emily Snyder, who is one of the owners of the creamery. See below for more details!

How do I submit a Flavor?
Visit go.umd.edu/flavorfeud by Friday, October 29th to submit your flavor idea. You can submit as an individual or as part of a team and multiple entries are allowed.

Are there any limitations on my flavor?
All flavors must indicate their base ice cream flavor and up to three "inclusions" maximum.
Popular Rocky Point ice cream bases include: vanilla, chocolate, coffee, mint, peanut butter, and sweet cream (Rocky Point milk mixed with cream!).
Inclusions are mixed in ingredients like candies (M&Ms, Reese's), nuts (almonds, peanuts), cookies (oreos, shortbread), or ripples (caramel, chocolate, peanut butter). Be creative as you're not limited to these examples, but know that if chosen, Rocky Point reserves the right to make substitutions in the final product if needed.

How will voting work?
After submissions are received, a tournament style bracket will be created and flavors will go head to head on the AGNR Student Council Instagram where yo
u can vote. Voting will take place the first week of November with the final winner being announced on November 5th.

What does the winning flavor get?
The winning flavor will be produced by Rocky Point Creamery and the limited batch will be brought to campus and served at the Ice Cream themed Cross Talk on November 18th. All guests will get to enjoy the delicious new flavor and who knows? If it's a hit, maybe it'll make the flavor board at Rocky Point Creamery!

What's a Cross Talk?

Cross Talks are gatherings where the AGNR and campus community can come together to learn and have a critical conversation at the intersection of food, agriculture and the environment. Cross Talks are loosely modeled after TEDx Salons to bring people together to engage, share, and learn.
