Happy National Ice Cream Day!

We settled an important debate at Penta: Ice Cream or Custard?

Given our Wisconsin roots, we expected frozen custard to put up a much stronger fight. Instead, the results were surprisingly decisive:
🍦 Ice Cream - 68% 🏆
🍨 Frozen Custard - 25%
🤔 What's Frozen Custard? - 6%

While we may not all agree on the best frozen treat, one thing is certain: it's always fun to learn a little more about the people we work with every day.
