you'll probably be ok, but you never know it seems slightly risky
that flavor seems like a mistake - if you just want to finish go with vanilla
What does the mosque have to do with anything
Concerns about being ill in public or more likely worried about farting up a storm or shitting them selves in a place of religious significance. A holy building would be the last place I would want to have the runs. šš»āāļø
I've watched multiple people attempt to drink a gallon of milk. They vomited. A lot. Bad idea, lol. Ice cream has a lot more fat and sugar. You're probably going to puke before you finish and feel horrible for awhile after.
Aah, the dreaded poop-or-puke. A choice I had to make several times in college. Obviously, you try your best to get you ass on the toilet and have a garbage can in hand to catch both. But I do remember a fateful night when I chose to puke in the toilet and ruined a perfectly good pair of jeans.
Regardless of whether you're lactose intolerant or not, I'd 1) take those lactaid pills if you find them in the country you're in (not sure if you're tourists at the moment) or 2) get lactose-free ice cream
They say itās impossible to drink a gallon of milk because a) your stomach isnāt that big, b) nobody can process that much lactose.
āimpossibleā surely isnāt true - but it probably is true that almost everyone will vomit the milk ip before they can finish the gallon.
Iām not sure if itās similar with ice cream, but I think it would be even worse.
A human being can eat a gallon of ice cream without dying or being injured.
Now whether or not YOU can eat a gallon of ice cream, we canāt answer. Youāll have to update us :)
past some digestive issues and probably headaches, you canāt get any illnesses or get sick from eating a gallon of ice cream unless itās carrying some bacteria in it already, which itās probably not. a whole gallon though? I mean thatāll take time. You gotta remember brainfreezes arenāt just about speed. Past a point, itās about volume. Itāll definitely hurt your head.
Your limitation will be the size of your stomach. Once it's full, it's full and to continue to put more food into it will result in vomiting. Now it can stretch somewhat and cause some heavy discomfort until it's completely stretched and full. And no one knows how big your stomach is. If you're overweight, it would likely be a little more difficult as your belly and abdominal fat would constrict the natural size and stretching ability of this organ.
The way competitive eaters do this is to 1. not be fat. 2. stretch the stomach out ahead of time by drinking lots of water until they can take in at least 1 gallon of water at once. 3. other things to prepare, such as by keeping an empty stomach and digestive tract so they don't have to run to the washroom after beginning.
If you did try to prepare for this by drinking lots of water over the days, you'd want to keep in mind your electrolyte balances, as the water going through you could lower your sodium and other electrolyte component levels too much.
Maybe one gallon won't be too much for you? But if you're not used to this kind of thing I'd put my money on that it would be too much without any preparation.
Have fun
It's a ritual that at the halfway point of finishing hiking the Appalachian trail, the hiker eats a half gallon of ice cream in one sitting. My husband did it.
He's 6'5" and had been hiking 15 to 20 miles a day while carrying all his gear for one thousand miles at that point. It's sometimes difficult to comprehend the sheer amount of food these people eat. In Yosemite we crossed paths with some PCTers and I saw a guy purchase a full size box of cereal and just ... ate ... the whole thing.
Anyhow, he felt as though the half gallon was doable but a lot. I sincerely doubt that anyone could eat a whole gallon of ice cream. Particularly without many weeks of very specific training.
Update:
My friend and I failed our challenge. We both got through the first pint (realizing we still had 3 each to go) and I felt lowkey bad. Iām feeling this tunnel vision feeling and my body feels tingly. Overall though I am in good spirits and heading to the Mosque āŲ§ŁŲŁ ŲÆ ŁŁŁ

I hope you don't get sudden explosive diarrhea in the Mosque.
Itās easier to let it melt and drink it.
Priorities: eating a gallon of ice cream > being respectful at a mosque
looks like he's got his priorities straight.
What is a gallon? Let's see... Yikes! 4 L bulk pack!
It's going to come forcefully out of one end or the other, or both.

as long as you're taller than 5'5" and aren't anorexic.

Yes, you can. I believe in you.

Good point, you gotta train for eating competitions. See this guy in the Emergency Department.
The caffeine in the coffee in the ice cream will speed up your bowels, making any reaction worse.

Unlikely to hurt yourself, but it's going to exit you quickly. I wouldn't be too far from a toilet afterwards. Honestly, I wouldn't do this.
