Twelve exclusive flavours of ice cream. Hundreds of fans. A group of photographers. Mix and shake well because that’s what we had yesterday during the Ben & Jerry’s Chunkfest 2010. Held on the big field along Marina Boulevard, the annual event faced the Singapore city skyline and the newly opened Marina Bay Sands casino and hotel.

Now who isn’t a big fan of ice cream? Although not my absolute favourite, Ben & Jerry’s has some of the nicest and whackiest flavours of all the ice cream makers. Strawberry Cheesecake, Cherry Garcia, and Banana Split are just some in my top ten list. Want to see the flavours that were flown in specially for yesterday’s event, check out the photos below!

A very young crowd was there and plenty of girls too. No surprise, since I’m sure they love ice cream a lot! If you didn’t want to pay S$5.50 for a small scoop of ice cream (and I mean really small, not like the gigantic ones in the U.S.), you could form a team of four and take part in their eating contest. Racing with 19 other teams, you have to be the fastest to finish 20 scoops of B&J ice cream! I like ice cream, but not that much!

It was quite a sight, though too bad it wasn’t scorching hot otherwise it would have been a huge driving force for them to gobble down that ice cream. Overall, I had great fun shooting and making new photographers. Now that I’m aware of this annual Chunkfest, maybe I can go back again next year.
