Food dare: Swensen's Ice Cream Earthquake

The sundae to end all sundaes

A lone Earthquake could likely feed a family, but the Earthquake challenge is one person eating one of these monstrosities in one hour. You get to select what flavors of ice cream and toppings you’d like, although they must all be different. Nuts sprinkled on top are optional.

There are a ton of ice cream flavors, but topping choices are more sparse, so it’s more like choosing what toppings you don’t want.

There is a miniature version of the earthquake, called the tremor, which has five scoop of ice cream and four toppings … for $11.95. The math works out that the Tremor is clearly the better deal, but you don’t get your name on a plaque for finishing some measly five-scoop sundae.
