Here's What Happened When We Tried To Eat A 5-Pound Sushi Roll

It's basically a newborn baby made out of sushi.

This is Jasmine. She LOVES giant food.

She even hosts a show about it called Giant Food Time!

This is Jasmine's friend, Kelsey. She LOVES sushi.

BuzzFeed

She eats it multiple times a week and her local spot even knows her by name.

And THIS is a giant sushi roll.

You can find this monster at Deli Sushi & Desserts in San Diego, California.

When Jasmine discovered this, she decided to take Kelsey on a ~super secret~ trip from LA to San Diego so she could surprise her with this giant version of her favorite food!

BuzzFeed

For context, the "Monster Roll" can weigh between 5 and 6 pounds, and each piece is approximately the size of a burger.

BuzzFeed

That's a lot of sushi... *gulps*

And the entire roll is equivalent to eight normal sushi rolls.

BuzzFeed

Yup, you heard right. That's a whole table's worth of sushi in one roll!

Let's just say that Kelsey was more than a little surprised to open her eyes to a ~literal~ food baby.

BuzzFeed

I mean, the roll was the size of her calf. HER CALF!

BuzzFeed

The restaurant challenges patrons to finish their rolls in under 15 minutes to earn a spot on the wall of fame.

BuzzFeed

So Kelsey and Jasmine had to give it a shot! After signing a waiver, of course.

There were some highs.

BuzzFeed

And also some lows.

BuzzFeed

Note: Giant chopsticks do not make this challenge any easier.

Okay, maybe a lot of lows.

BuzzFeed

That's gotta burn.

Alas, in the end, they couldn't complete the challenge and their photos ended up on the wall of shame.

BuzzFeed

But hey, at least they got leftovers, right?

Now please excuse me while I watch this on loop and try not to drool on my phone.
