In the video above, you’ll see Stonie at the grocery store selecting his desired Ben & Jerry’s flavors. After that, it’s just a race against the clock. He starts off strong, but is soon plagued by brain freeze, tummy aches and, probably, the lingering question of _Why am I doing this?_ After 35 minutes, Stonie manages to consume all the ice cream — which totals 13,400 calories, 780 grams of fat and 1,180 grams of sugar. We’re genuinely impressed that Stonie is still alive. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3969702/12-pints-ice-cream-matt-stonie/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3969702/12-pints-ice-cream-matt-stonie/"},"headline":"Watch This Champion Eater Destroy 12 Pints of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream","datePublished":"2015-07-23T16:58:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:22:28.318Z","description":"We have brain freeze just thinking about it","url":"https://time.com/3969702/12-pints-ice-cream-matt-stonie/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3969702/12-pints-ice-cream-matt-stonie/","name":"Watch This Champion Eater Destroy 12 Pints of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Truth About Fat","description":"When you want to lose weight or get healthy, what is the first thing you would normally cut from your diet?
