Utah, United States — Ice cream
BeardMeatsFood takes on the Liberty Bell Challenge at Brookers Founding Flavors, an ice cream shop themed around the original 13 US colonies. The challenge involves consuming 13 scoops of ice cream in a giant bell-shaped serving within 18 minutes and 16 seconds. He successfully completes the challenge in 15 minutes and 19 seconds, winning a free t-shirt and meal voucher despite the incredibly messy experience.
What was great: The ice cream flavor was yummy and slightly salty which balanced the sweetness well, creative and humorous colonial theme, friendly staff, fun challenge concept with prizes
What could improve: The spoon was slightly too wide for comfortable eating, the challenge was extremely messy, no coffee available as a beverage option
The Dishes
The main event is the Liberty Bell Challenge, featuring 13 scoops of ice cream representing the original 13 US colonies, all served in a giant bell-shaped vessel. The flavors blended together as the ice cream melted, making it difficult to identify individual tastes. However, the reviewer noted the ice cream was really yummy overall, with a slightly salty quality that helped balance out the aggressively sweet flavor of the massive frozen dessert.
The Experience
The restaurant features an amusing colonial American independence theme, with staff wearing tricorner hats and maintaining the playful historical aesthetic year-round. The staff was friendly and accommodating, providing hot chocolate as a beverage option and offering both plastic and metal spoons. However, the challenge itself proved unwatchably messy, with ice cream covering the reviewer's beard, jeans, and face throughout the attempt. The challenge contract included strict rules, including immediate disqualification for vomiting and the requirement to leave a valid driver's license with staff.
Value and Pricing
The Liberty Bell Challenge costs 76 dollars. Winners receive a free t-shirt with colonial-themed motifs like 'Give me chocolate or give me death' and a free meal if completed quickly enough. Additionally, wearing the t-shirt on President's Day (February 16th) at any location grants free ice cream.
Notable Moments
I think I've got to go with the big one. I think I'm compensating, you know.
Somebody went in an ambulance. Call an ambulance.
There's plenty left there. Probably what? Nine of the original 13 scoops.
As a British guy, I sort of feel like I'm the villain of the story here.
The reviewer successfully completed the challenge in 15 minutes and 19 seconds despite the extreme messiness, earning his prize and even securing a medium-sized free t-shirt for a future visit.
The Verdict
Brookers Founding Flavors is a fun and entertaining establishment perfect for those seeking a quirky ice cream challenge with historical theming. The ice cream quality is good, the staff is welcoming, and the overall experience is memorable and humorous. While the Liberty Bell Challenge is undeniably messy and extreme, it's exactly the kind of wild food challenge that makes for entertaining content and a unique experience. Recommended for adventure seekers and food challenge enthusiasts who don't mind ending up covered in ice cream.
