Nestled in the heart of Vermont's Green Mountains in the town of Waterbury sits an ice cream lover's paradise. The place? Ben and Jerry's Waterbury Factory. This Ice Cream heaven is a working factory producing Ben and Jerry's delicious ice creams year round. There is a gift shop, a scoop shop, and they even offer tours of the factory which from my understanding is pretty informative and very fun. But that's not really why we're here.....we are here to talk about "The Vermonster"!
The Vermonster is a large ice cream sundae served in a "Vermonster Bucket" in Ben & Jerry's "scoop shops." Its ingredients are 20 scoops of ice cream, 4 bananas, 4 ladles of hot fudge, 3 chocolate chip cookies, 1 chocolate fudge brownie, 10 scoops of walnuts, 2 scoops each of 4 toppings of your choice, and whipped cream. It contains 14,000 calories, and 500 grams of fat. Apparently there is a Vermonster Challenge which is an annual charity event held by Ben & Jerry's in which teams of four compete to finish a Vermonster and win free ice cream for a year. But I digress.
It was a sunny spring morning when a bear wandered into the Waterbury Factory Scoop Shop. Bears are common in the Green Mountains, but as the employees at the scoop shop would soon find out, their was nothing common about The Bear that was in their midst. I'm not entirely sure what flavors of ice cream Jamie chose to be added to the goliath sized sundae. I'm really not sure Jamie even cared. What I do know is this is a really impressive video showcasing Jamie's capacity as well as his ability to fight through the pain of brain freeze.
So sit back and enjoy this video as Jamie takes on Ben and Jerry's Vermonster and goes completely "Bear-Mode" on it!
