Amateurs, reckon I could easily smash out a tub in one sitting
What do you mean, “reckon”? Either you have and you’re just ashamed to admit it, or you’ve failed.
Ha! In 1993 I won a trip to LA, and while checking out Hollywood Boulevard, (as one does), me and my mate decided to check out B&J’s, it didn’t exist in the UK at that time, IIRC. I particularly like chocolate, so went for one of the chocolate chip ones, can’t remember exactly which now, and chose the biggest tub. I hadn’t realised they don’t just scoop it into the tubs, they scoop a bit, pack it down hard, then scoop some more, repeat. No air in it, a solid block of chocolate ice cream. Bugger. Took bloody ages to finish it, I wasn’t going to be defeated by a single tub of choccy ice cream!
But it came very, very close… 😳
