    Why though? The first recorded recipe for it was created by a Prussian.

      Because the number of people/households who consume equal amounts of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream seems limited. And I don’t think there’s much to be gained by eating all three at once. Therefore it seems like something that has very little utility, so I’m surprised it would spread. Plus I can’t say I have any knowledge of it being invented outside the US, since to me it feels very… 1950s America vibe.

        The entire point is eating all three at once. If you don’t do it that way, your parents raised you wrong. Hehe. Scoop across, not within. Though to be fair, I’ve never bought the separated blocks one. I’ve only ever had the ones that are already swirled together to make the intention not only clear, but nearly impossible to circumvent.
