The Big Kahuna is this ice cream parlors version of a man vs. food challenge. It requires bravery and an endless love of ice cream to complete.

Are you up for this ice cream challenge? The bowl contains eight scoops of ice cream, one banana, one brownie, seven toppings, a mound of whipped cream, and four cherries. Sounds good, right? The catch: you have to eat it all by yourself.
