6. Ben and Jerry's

Location: Over 450 franchise shops worldwide
The Challenge: Stuff 20 scoops of ice cream, four bananas, three cookies, one brownie and assorted toppings into your belly without bursting
------------------------------------
If the names Ben and Jerry make your mouth water, you're probably acquainted with their world-famous ice cream. Made from all-natural ingredients, their delectable, frozen desserts are available in a mind-numbing variety of flavors. Ask the initiated and they'll swear that it's next-to-impossible to stop at just one or two spoonfuls. In fact, finishing off a half or even a whole pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream in a single sitting is as commonplace as cows at a dairy farm.

For those who take their passion for ice cream to staggering extremes, participating Ben and Jerry's scoop shops have an ice cream container more their size. Served in a plastic bucket, the Vermonster sundae is big enough to give even Godzilla an ice cream headache. It takes 20 scoops of ice cream, four bananas, one fudge brownie, three chocolate chip cookies, four ladles of hot fudge, 18 scoops of toppings and loads of whipped cream to create this sinful concoction.

If your sweet tooth is as long as a stegosaurus spike, you might be able to finish the Vermonster on your own, but it just may ruin your supper for days to come.
