The following was originally posted here on the Ice Cream Journal back in July, but this record is so amazing, it deserved a second showing.
Did you know that the world record for the most ice cream eaten is held by 22-year-old culinary student Patrick Bertoletti of Chicago, Illinois? On May 26, 2006, he ate 1.75 gallons of vanilla ice cream in 8 minutes during an ice cream eating contest in Brooklyn, New York. It should be noted that Bertolleti is a professional competitive eater whose other eating records include 19 slices of pizza in 10 minutes, 11.1 pounds of shoofly pie in 8 minutes and 177 pickled jalepeno peppers in 15 minutes. For now, we’d be happy with the ice cream title.

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
I would not even think of a contest like that Brain freeze!!!
Wow — that does sound like the quickest way to the world’s worst brainfreeze. But I guess 177 jalapenos would cancel it out alright.
Any food no matter what it is should be eaten in moderation to be healthy. But ice cream is a good second helping.
Talk about a brain freeze!!!!!
Can never have enough turkey hill!
