In Tuesday’s post about competitive eater Patrick “Deep Dish” Bertoletti and his world record of 1.75 gallons of ice cream eaten in eight minutes, loyal Ice Cream Journal reader Karen requested (with a comment) a photo of what 1.75 gallons of ice cream looks like. It’s a good question, Karen, which is why we put together the graphic below.

  5. Jacqueline Seewald says:

    I think these record contestants are weird!

  6. good luck eating all that ice cream hope you don’t get sick

  7. Bob Kessler Jr says:

    He had to eat each of those full Turkey Hill containers in less than two minutes to finish all the containers in 8 minutes. You have to let it melt first to do it. The ice cream would be soft and not as cold. Is it worth it? To Pat – yes. To me – no.

    a little too much for me

    Holy Cow!

  11. Caroline of Manalapan says:

    It said he was a student. The 8 minutes is fast but the 1.75 gallons for a teenage male does not phase me. I remember when my son was a teen the amount of food he ate and never gained weight could have put him in the 2 gallon class. Hubby told me in his teens and early 20′s he would eat a 1/2 gallon but not 8 ounces is enough.

    Not very good for the arteries if done frequently.

    Melt it and I will gladly drink that much, but make it chocolate.

  18. Sarah says:

    I’m in awe and having a vicarious brain freeze.

  19. Pat says:

    Wow that’s a lot of ice cream! :)

  20. Ellen says:

    I might have gotten through the two-thirds carton, maybe. What a stomach Patrick “Deep Dish” Bertoletti has. MMMMMMM good ice cream.

  21. Nancy N says:

    OMG – I get a headache just thinking about it!

  22. Pat D. says:

    Sounds risky and daringly delicious! Did the young man survived the brain freeze?

  23. Emilia says:

    I just can’t understand speed eating anything. Food should be enjoyed..especially ice cream.

  24. Arvella says:

    Wow, I couldn’t imagine eating all that ice cream in 2 minutes.

  25. Mary says:

    I wonder what hurt more–the brain freeze or the big thaw afterward?

  26. leecarr says:

    I prefer to savor the flavor and enjoy my ice cream, eating anything this fast is just foolish.

    As much as I love ice cream, and I eat it everyday, I cannot imagine eating that much in 8 min. I hope he enjoyed every ounce of the ice cream. I only hope it was Turkey Hill. Linda
