Yeah. It doesn't sip. It guzzles. Just over a ton and a half of LH2 and LOX a second for eight and a half minutes total, for the shuttle's engines.
The pressures the fuel turbopump develops are staggering, too. If you shot the hydrogen into the air instead of into the chamber, it would go somewhere around 35-40 miles straight up (assuming the hydrogen didn't boil off).
It's a beast, but the F1 still thinks it's cute.
