The previous Guinness world record for the longest ice cream dessert was a sundae measuring 39.77 m (130 ft 6 in) prepared by The Kids Club (USA) in Brunswick, Georgia, USA.
Guinness World Records also recognized the tallest ice cream whip: 14 cm (5.51 in), achieved by Paul O'Grady (UK).
Christopher Lynn, a deputy sealer for the Northampton County department of weights and measures, gave the 150-foot sundae his approval.

"I've measured for everything else," Lynn said, of his time spent at gas stations, grocery stores and countless other county-approved stuff. "But this is my first gutter measurement."
