The 9-Pound Sundae At This West Virginia Diner Is An Ice Cream Lover’s Dream
Fairmont is a small city in Marion County that’s home to some local landmarks like Pricketts Fort State Park and Sagebrush Roundup Music Park. It also happens to have the beloved Poky Dot, a charming diner the locals love. And if you love ice cream, visiting this spot is a must — they serve a humungous sundae that weighs a whopping nine pounds.

The kitschy American diner has received several makeovers since then, but it still maintains its nostalgic charms.
It's pretty much impossible not to be instantly smitten with this place.
From standard shakes to outlandish sundaes, they serve everything you need to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Topped with plenty of cherries, sprinkles, whipped cream and flavored syrups, it's truly a sight to behold.
While very few groups manage to finish the dessert (each scoop of ice cream weighs a pound!), it's definitely fun to try.
If you've never tried one of these lavish desserts, you owe it to yourself to go.
Address: 1111 Fairmont Avenue, Fairmont, WV, 26554
