AGAIN!?!

He tried hard.     

 Kevin secretly wants to be a super champion eating competitor.  He wants his name on a plaque for some sort of food challenge.  The local Creole Creamery offers such a challenge with the Tchoupitoulas Challenge and Kevin undertook the challenge back on August 12 of this year.  He failed....
  

This girl was generous...giant mixing bowl full of 8 scoops of heavy cream chocolate and vanilla ice cream, caramel, hot fudge, nuts, Cap'n Crunch Cereal, Oreo cookies, Chocolate chip cookies, 1 can of whipped cream, and some cherries and sprinkles

The challenge does not include a time limit, just that you consume the 8 scoops of ice cream plus 8 toppings (you can double up on toppings) whipped cream, cherries and sprinkles are included and do not count as toppings..


It doesn't look that bad...except for the size of the mixing bowl
You can imagine my surprise that after only 3 1/2 months Kev wants to take the challenge again.  After he experienced the Tchoupitoulas ice cream bomb, all he could smell was ice cream.  Seriously.  And I recall many trips to the restroom ...

Kevin digging in...the first few bites.  Happy Kevin.
 Yeah, he just thinks he wants to try again.  Look at how happy he looks taking on this beast.

Y
mmmmmm.....ice cream
 Remember the anguish?  Remember the pain?


Progress...probably the first 15 minutes of eating.
However, Kevin has a new plan of attack.  Originally, he added hot fudge and caramel to the ice cream as part of his toppings, however, these toppings made the challenge too sweet, even for a sweet tooth like Kevin.  He always says he eats his grandma's size portions of ice cream, and I can believe it.  Serious love of the sweets...brownies for breakfast?  It's got eggs, and milk, and flour. 


Cleansing the palate
Kevin alternated between black coffee and water to cleanse between eating stints...



Eating...starting to really hit a wall
While I support Kevin in his efforts to have his name in lights, I am not sure if I support the side effects of such a beast.


Was this about the time you started shaking?
 Everyone had a hilariously good time watching Kevin consume this ridiculous amount of ice cream...until the shakes set it....

Looking drunk on ice cream...
 Yeah, after he almost threw up on Meghan, he knew it was time to throw in the towel.  It's simply not worth throwing up on a friend, you know?



He only had a little to go...sort of...


Not. Doing. Well.



Ice Cream Soup...Where's PeeWee when you  need him?


: ( He failed the first time....will he prevail in his next challenge???

So, in the near future Kevin will be taking on the challenge again, sans the hot fudge and caramel.  He will be keeping with the cookies, Cap'n Crunch, nuts, possibly bananas, and vanilla and chocolate ice cream.  I just hope his body can take that amount of dairy again....
