What many people don't know is that the famed combination was invented in a small town with a population of approximately 300 people in Potter, Nebraska in the early 1930s. The original Tin Roof Sundae featured a base of vanilla ice cream topped with hot fudge, two scoops of chocolate ice cream, drizzles of warm marshmallow cream, and crushed salted peanuts.

The Tin Roof Sundae forever morphed ice cream allowing servers to experiment with different flavors and textures many had never thought of before and now, ice cream flavors are endless thanks to this blend of sugary and salty ingredients.
