Vermonster

[Jason Strasser]

Info:

The Vermomster is a Ben & Jerry's giant 40 dollar hot fudge sundae that consists of twenty scoops of ice cream (which is roughly four and a half pounds), three cookies, four bananas, one brownie, four ladles of hot fudge, ten scoops of peanuts, three scoops of sprinkles, three scoops of M&Ms, and a whole lot of whip cream. In total, it weighs six to seven pounds.



How hard would this be for one person (say six foot 175) to eat within a 24 hour period?

There was a special about this on some TV show and I think it was doable. What's the bet and do I know the person involved?

[EMcWilliams]

In a controlled environment its doable...otherwise itd melt.

I think it would be rather difficult for several reasons, not the least of which being that sugar gives you really bad headaches and bellyaches when you intake too much of it. Also, have you thought about the melting issue? It seems that if you had 24 hours, you couldn't exactly just shove something like this into the freezer while you digested. I think you would have to eat it all at once. And fairly quickly. I think this would be border-line impossible.

I think we need to pay Crimson to find out.

[Jason Strasser]

Well one day I was convinced that no one could do it so I said something dumb along the lines of "if you can eat that whole thing in a day I'd pay a grand". Turns out this little skinny kid really wants to try. I'm wondering how worried I should be and if I should try to weasel my way out of this.

I really think this kid can't eat this thing without dying.

Well the kid would take it home and put it in a freezer then scoop it into a bowl and eat.

IM me his name.

Wouldn't it be easier, if anything, if you let it melt? You wouldn't get any brain freezes, and you could pretty much drink it.

[Jason Strasser]

I'm not allowing him to melt it.
