Chicken McNugget Challenge #3
Quote: beachbumbabsdj quit at 32. The no is the winner.
Wait, 32 to go, or 32 total?
Quote: beachbumbabsHe ate 32 total.
That is not remotely close.
I hope he quit because he realized that he couldn't finish, rather than because he couldn't make it to 33. I'm pretty sure I could eat 32 right now.
Quote: AxiomOfChoiceI have a terrible memory and I don't feel like reading through this entire thread. Did I have a bet with anyone?
Yes we had a 1k wager, I had the don't. Trust me... your memory is bad. :)
I wonder if the challenege shouldn't be made more "doable"? Perhaps make it 75 or 80?
Anyway, just a thought. 100 of those little suckers are a hell of a lot :)
Quote: rainmanYes we had a 1k wager, I had the don't. Trust me... your memory is bad. :)
Ha! My memory may suck but I know that I would have bet the no :)
100 doesn't seem like a lot but when you are in the hotseat you start to wish for a time machine so you can take back what you said about eating so many.
We had many other side bets with other people which were fun as well. Anyway, I failed miserably and apologize for people betting on me because I thought I could do it but it tasted so bad and I wasn't even halfway there.
I did have a S'more nacho at Nacho Daddy afterwards so it wasn't so much not being able to eat as much as the taste of Mcnuggets. They are awful :(
1. djatc goes down in flames, eating 32 only.
2. During this whole time a young guy was talking s**t that he could do it easily. So I free rolled him $100 if he could do it. He got to somewhere in the forties before he quit.
3. With 40 nuggets left we bet another bystander that he couldn't eat them in 15 minutes. He gave up after about 20 with much less than half his time left.
4. Rudeboyoi (fortunately no cops were around) accepted the challenge to eat 20 in 7 minutes. He did it in I think 2:42.
We then went to dinner and played some blackjack with lots of trivia at the Golden Gate. My favorite bet, that AxelWold wouldn't know what BMW stood for. His answer -- Bavarian Motor Company, with a big grin on his face like he got it right.
Also, Ahigh was a no-show on the unicycle race. I had to lug my unicycle all over downtown for five hours. Twice security reprimanded me for it at two different casinos. *sheesh* At least dj tried.

Man, nobody can say that you are not an excellent sport. You always go the extra mile and make it fun.
I hope I can find something I'm good at one day so I can make a challenge out of it :)
Quote: GWAE32 is a pathetic showing. I mean reallllly? That is a little over a pound.
I have eaten a 20 piece, 2 medium fries, and a large drink refilled at least twice. Then I finished my sons happy meal.
That's not too tough to do, because they are different types of foods. That thinking is what got me. I can eat a lot of different types of foods, but not the same type of food. I've eaten 2 20 pieces, a large fry, with 2 liters of coke, with an apple pie. Also 1.5 large pizzas with buffalo wings and a cinnapie. Also a few days ago I ate a full size hot dog, Lay's BBQ chips, 2.5lb lobster, 3 sides, crab cakes, a chocolate cake, and a banana split afterwards.
The kid that went after me was saying he could do it easily, with no problems. When he got to 30 he hit his wall, and now regrets his words. He said he ate 10 McCheese burgers which is probably possible but the nuggets just refuse to go down.
Quote: Mission146I might try it, again. In terms of capacity, I wasn't anywhere close to my wall, and I put down 78.
Is it always going to be Chicken McNuggets or would other food be considered? Joey Chestnut has competed eating deep fried asparagus, matzoh balls and hard boiled eggs.
How many nuggets do you think Joey could could consume?

If I have the story correct, a friend of mine who went to Stanford met Joey at a party. Turns out, he can consume beer faster than humanly possible, by sucking the beer out of the can while shot-gunning it. Like, less than 2 seconds kind of fast.
Quote: TomspurWell played dj, good on you for stepping up and being counted!

100 is the number. Son of SOOPOO did 88 after running two miles in stifling heat and completing error free two New York Times crossword puzzles. I have to say, 32 is such a pathetically low number, it makes me wonder if my friendly AP, djatc, had some money on the don'ts.....

nahhh I think if that were the case he would have made it much higher just for show. That would be like a jockey having money on the field and not leaving the gate.,
Quote: TomspurMan, nobody can say that you are not an excellent sport. You always go the extra mile and make it fun.
Thanks. In this case we still had 60 untouched McNuggets so I wanted to do something with them. Nobody in our group I think would have wanted them. So we pretty much did challenge after challenge until they were gone. It took four challenges to consume the 100 nuggets. Kind of sad.
Quote:I hope I can find something I'm good at one day so I can make a challenge out of it :)
Another challenge that would interest me is to drink a gallon of whole milk in an hour. Much like the McNuggets, it is very hard, but is been known to have been accomplished. It may sound easy, but the body can process only so much fat.
What I find funny is... In the last two challenges, a random stranger thinks they can do it!
Quote: tringlomaneWhat I find funny is... In the last two challenges, a random stranger thinks they can do it!
I'm not sure if that is a coincidence or not. You get some peculiar people at that McDonalds in the D. When I was waiting in line to buy the McNuggets some guy was rambling about the history of all the major freeways in the Los Angeles area. At one point I corrected him that he was confusing the 605 and 710 freeways and that opened the floodgates. I then couldn't get rid of the guy as he chewed my ear off, now that he had a captive audience standing there in the long time. This was why the challenge started late, by the way.

Minnesoat Fats won lots of head to head eating contests. He always would insist just going down the menu item after item. Cause some guys can really eat one item, but not a variety.
I sure the Wiz remembers Pollock Johnny all over Baltimore on the block and all over Baltimore.

Used to have an eating contest every year at the store on " DA BLOCK ". One year a 110 pound female stripper beat all these 300 and 400 lbs guys.
Babs, don't kill the Messenger !
Quote: djatcI just have to say real quick that me and the kid overestimated our eating ability.

Yes, that was EXACTLY my problem when I did the taco bell thing. That food is all just crap. It tastes ok if you just eat a little bit but if you eat a lot the taste just keeps growing stronger and stronger until you can't take it any more.

I know that Axel is not the best speller in the world, but surely he knows that "Company" does not start with a W?
Quote: AxiomOfChoiceI know that Axel is not the best speller in the world, but surely he knows that "Company" does not start with a W?
I'm sure he does too. He tired to play the "You know that I knew" card but I would have none of it. Personally, I blame one too many Crown Royals or whatever he was drinking.

Would you have accepted Bavarian Motor Works or were you betting on the German name which is Bayerische Motoren Werke?
Quote: DRichWould you have accepted Bavarian Motor Works or were you betting on the German name which is Bayerische Motoren Werke?
I would have accepted either.
Here are some photos from the event.
Practicing for the unicycle race.
This picture speaks for itself.
Here is our young bystander challenger flashing gang signs.
Here is his buddy who attempted, and failed, to eat 40 McNuggets in 15 minutes.
YEA RIGHT!! Seriously no one bet enough money for DJ to take a dive and screw people for a few hundred bucks, he had less money on this then me. I may have had $400 in total bets. You know who you are boys, PAY UP.Quote: SOOPOO100 is the number. Son of SOOPOO did 88 after running two miles in stifling heat and completing error free two New York Times crossword puzzles.

I tried to try that contraption but that security yelled at me. I'm sure I would have broken something since one member of our group already has a broken foot it would certainly be a disaster.Quote: WizardI'll try to post the video tomorrow but it won't be very exciting.

Regarding that dam BMW bet, it was quite obvious I knew what it stood for but I just blurted out company instead of works. I'm fairly certain I was the clear overall winner in the "what will they know" prop betting. I absolutely love betting on that, its very fun. I could do it all night long and never get board of it.
correct me if I'm wrong. A very nice female dealer said her best subject was history and she was good at it. Yet she didn't know this, I believe we asked her: In what year did the U.S. gain Independence. I bet no and she said 1801.
You have no proof. It could be the long con. I'm just waiting for you to bet against me in a spelling contest.Quote: AxiomOfChoiceI know that Axel is not the best speller in the world
Quote: AxelWolfYou have no proof. It could be the long con. I'm just waiting for you to bet against me in a spelling contest.
That is the longest con ever. Me vs you in a 1-on-1 spelling bee. Let's do it. Since JJ was in a spelling bee once she can be the announcer (or whatever they call the person who reads out the words you have to spell).
I'll also play scrabble against you for money.
Quote: AxiomOfChoiceSince JJ was in a spelling bee once she can be the announcer.
How do you spell "chippie"?
You can see AxelWolf's hand at the 9:27 point.
Is it just my audio card, or does it sound like everyone is breathing Helium?Quote: WizardThe video is up.
Mrs Mosca: "About two years."
Quote: WizardThe video of the bystander who took the challenge yesterday is up.
You can see AxelWolf's hand at the 9:27 point.
Very handsome young lad. Is he legal? (I am thinking in terms of voting, you pervs)
Gotta love the what looked to be possible homeless dude that looked in several times with jealous eyes.
yeah, that is a pretty easily identifiable hand at 9:27. AxelWolf's, cover is blown. That hand is being 'flyered' all over town.
If we count the two bystanders who tried the last two times then it would be 5-0.
Who will be the next to attempt it? I know Mission is interested in a rematch, which I welcome, but any fresh blood interested?

Do they have to be McNuggets? I'd like to see a multi-item challenge.
I may just have to buy a couple dozen or let's say 33 McNuggets and see how I feel.
Also, maybe the next step would be to have a couple of contestants, or dare I say it, a TAG TEAM match ? ? ? Johnny Q and Mission (OH) vs Las Vegas wannabees ?
Quote: JohnnyQGreat thread.

I'm betting on "not good"
Quote: AxiomOfChoiceDo they have to be McNuggets? I'd like to see a multi-item challenge.
I think it should stay nuggets until someone does it.
I would like to give it a shot but getting to Vegas for me seems to be tough. I am so confident that I could do it. I may try it in the next few weeks.

Actually, no, it just occurred to me that I went back to being a vegetarian a month ago...lol
Quote: JohnnyQGame on !
I mean, you can probably eat them (33 nuggets is not that much) but there is no way that you won't feel like crap after.
