We Used Every Flavor Of ENLIGHTENED Ice Cream To Stack This Massive 26-inch Cone
Are you really an ice cream lover if you’ve never fantasized about going to your nearest grocery store and cleaning out the shelves of your favorite brand? This question has been the topic of many discussions here at FOODBEAST for the last couple of weeks, so much so that our Publisher, Elie Ayrouth, and Head of Video, Marc Kharrat, decided to do something about it. Of course it only fueled the fire that ENLIGHTENED, our new favorite ice cream brand, just so happens to sell over 25 different flavors of ice cream. You see where this is going.
Before we knew it, it was 10am on a Tuesday, and Marc and Elie just couldn’t contain their desires any longer. They grabbed our Video Producer, Oscar, and headed to the nearest Sprouts location, which supposedly is the store that carries the most flavors of ENLIGHTENED.
Once Elie and Marc arrived at Sprouts, they realized they’d hit the jackpot. From new flavors like Movie Night and Cookies & Cream, to tried-and-true favorites like Bananas Foster, Birthday Cake, and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, this spot had them all.
After gingerly grabbing one pint of every flavor, Marc and Elie realized they have no self-control, and decided to literally buy all the ENLIGHTENED ice cream at the store for a noble cause: an ice cream party.
There aren’t too many people free at noon on a Tuesday to get down and go to town on some ice cream, but we had a few in mind.
Enter some of our favorite humans: Anne Phung, personal trainer extraordinaire, Josh Elkin, the Undisputed King of Breakfast, and Seth Francois & Nick Antonyan, a Jonah Hill look-alike, from the Icon Krew. This group is also known for their social media prowess, so it’s not surprising the first thing they did with all our ENLIGHTENED ice cream was build the largest sundae we’ve seen in a while.
We’re not even sure how many scoops made it into this monstrosity, but it definitely included ENLIGHTENED heavy hitters like Red Velvet, French Toast, Mint Chocolate Chip, and more.
With this bunch, there’s never a dull moment. After devouring the massive sundae, Nick had the brilliant idea to host a competition to see who could build the tallest ice cream cone.
Because it wouldn’t be a FOODBEAST event without a spectacle, we enlisted the help of our Office Manager, Ethan, to plastic wrap the entire lobby, get enough goggles and gloves for the whole crew, and secure some liquid nitrogen so we could get down ‘n dirty.
An hour and multiple ENLIGHTENED pints later, Marc, Josh, and Anne completely decimated Elie, Seth, and Nick after creating an ice cream cone that was 26 inches tall! Not to mention their stacked cone featured at least 15 different flavors of ENLIGHTENED.
Even after this multiple-hour ice cream ordeal, Elie and Marc hadn’t had enough of the sweet stuff—they each decompressed with a pint in hand, reflecting on the truly insane feat they had just accomplished with the help of ENLIGHTENED ice cream, and their insane variety of flavors.
