National Ice Cream Day was last weekend, but now Tampa Bay has more to celebrate.
St Petersburg ice cream shop Beans & Barlour and rum brewery Brugal 1888 set a new Guinness World Record title for most people scooping ice cream simultaneously on July 18. Altogether, 327 people gathered at Al Lang Stadium in St. Petersburg to help out.
Participants received a free Brugal 1888 welcome cocktail, along with boozy ice cream infused with the rum. Non-alcoholic and dairy-free options were also available.
Previously, Dairy Queen China held the record with 270 people.
