Colonial Ice Cream's Larger-Than-Lifesize Kitchen Sink

Moving dessert replicates Colonial's famous Kitchen Sink.

 

Tomas Morales has been turning a lot of heads while driving down area roads lately. 

Behind the steering wheel of the new Kitchen Sink truck, Morales has been toting the giant sundae on wheels from Naperville to St. Charles to Algonquin and Crystal Lake every day.

Morales is one of three drivers entrusted to drive the new moving
billboard.

Colonial Café commissioned the 600-pound fiberglass sculpture that looks like its signature Kitchen Sink dessert, which includes six scoops of ice cream, strawberries, banana and other goodies. The ice cream concoction is served in a small kitchen sink replica, thus the name.

“Everybody wants to take a picture,” Morales said, of the reaction he gets as his travels the region and stops at malls up and down Randall Road.

The kitchen sink sculpture is attached to a platform secured on a
white pick-up truck with decals on it, including the words “Follow me
to Colonial Café.”
