The Kickball Ice Cream Machine Turns Making Icy Desserts Into a Sport

— August 26, 2014 — Lifestyle
The Kickball ice cream maker turns the ice cream making process into a fun sporting game with its innovative sphere design.

All you have to do is fill the Kickball up with cream, ice and your choice of flavors and kick the ball around for about 20 minutes. While the ball churns the ice cream you'll feel like you're playing a fun game with a deliciously icy treat waiting for you at the end.
