Chicken McNugget Challenge #4
Quote: AxiomOfChoiceBlount has already paid me.
Gotta love amazon gift cards for payment! (I hope he bought the card through the Wiz's link -- I forgot to remind him about it when we were discussing payment)
I did indeed use the Wizard's amazon link. Thanks for the suggestion to use the amazon gift card. It was super-easy and fast.
A big thanks to rudeboyoi for giving the challenge a shot! He is braver than I am to even attempt it!
Also, note to self... Don't trash-talk Axiom so much next time. :/
Quote: blount2000I'm liking the sound of this already. I'm so confident that I hadn't even considered the logistics of how to pay if I should actually (gasp!) lose.
Quote: blount2000Wishful thinking. You need to be mentally preparing to part with $100 instead of counting on winning $50.
Quote: blount2000I also wanted to put Axiom on notice to be enjoying the last few moments he'll be spending with the $100 he is about to lose.
Quote: onenickelmiracleWe need a heads up match.

These single contests will never work. We need
two people to try and out eat each other with
no limit involved. That will get the betting going.
I nominate Djac and Rude, they're evenly qualified.
Why not? I say go for it dark horse.Quote: Mikey75Am I going to have to fly all the way to Vegas just to show you guys how to eat nuggets?????
Perhaps the challenge should be reduced to 50 or so? Seems like 100 is fairly impossible.
You guys have got to train harder.
The brain might not know but the stomach might not be able to stretch and wind up tearing. If your brain didn't know, could you put two feet in one Shoe? There is still the error of the logic. You have to be ready and capable, not just ready.Quote: mcallister3200Watching 20 go down in 3 minutes makes part of me think that if I could just throw them down in 20 minutes before your stomach really feels full, I could do it, and the hardest part would be keeping them down. Otoh, that's 0-4 so far and I've seen two friends in high school try to drink a gallon of milk in 15 minutes, with both ending up throwing up in the parking lot of a subway.
Quote: rudeboyoiI was getting really hot and starting to feel full around 30 completed. I went outside to smoke half a CIG. Mainly to just walk around. I came back in and knee I wouldn't be able to do it. So I went outside and smoked another half CIG. 38-40 were brutal for me. I just wanted to finish that box. But that was as far as I could go. No amount of money could've motivated me to power through it. It just wasn't possible for me. I guess I'm more of a sprint eater. I can eat fast just not for long.
Thanks for trying rudeboyoi. Win or lose, it was fun, and no one got hurt.
Did you do anything different to prepare today? Did you skip lunch?
Quote: Ayecarumbawudged has also made good. Please consider him a "Gretzky" (The "Anti-Lemieux").
Thanks Boz for the quick settlement!
Quote: RSAppreciate the effort, rudeboyoi.

Not quite. There are a couple dozen videos where
they eat 100 to 120. It takes something called
practice, and lots of it.

For us average folk, who don't train for McNugget challenges, I think it's fair to say 100 is damn near impossible. After all, a challenge only makes sense if it can be accomplished.

The real problem is, people keep attempting it where that have clearly never done it before. If any of the past 3 contestants would have tried to do 40 prior to this then they would have clearly known they were over matched.

After the last two attempts, I think a prerequisite should be at least doing at least 50, or some other eating challenge.
Rude gave it his best but it just wasn't to be.
After the challenge we played craps at the Plaza, which I'll write about separately, dinner/drinks at the 777 Brew Pub at the Main Street Station and then Ultimate Texas Hold 'Em at the Golden Gate.
Quote: WizardI don't plan to bother posting the video this time. It would be terribly boring and anti-climactic.
What happened to the other 60 Wizard? Usually, there is a colorful local who wants to give it a try.

None of that this time. It was windy yesterday and the back door at McDonalds was broken, causing it to fly open and bring in big drafts. So we moved it to a quieter section of the restaurant where nobody seemed to notice us.
With the other 60 we gave them away to homeless looking people on our walk to the Plaza. It was harder than we thought. There are never homeless people around when you need them.
I mean $150? Really Barbara?
I seen what looked like a guy who didn't have any money. He had a bunch of crap spread about the table, none of it food. I told him you had extra boxes of free nuggets. He just growled at me.Quote: WizardNone of that this time. It was windy yesterday and the back door at McDonalds was broken, causing it to fly open and bring in big drafts.

Through the four challenges I've noticed some odd people in that McDonalds. Lots of them seem to linger for hours. The manager seems pretty liberal about enforcing the usual "seats are for customers only" policy. In fact, I think the rules state a time limit about how long you can be there, like 30 minutes, but that rules doesn't get much respect.
Quote: 1BBI have a question for every who lost to the Wizard. Did you really think you would win or did you look at it as a donation to the Wizard?
I mean $150? Really Barbara?
I thought the same thing. For the people who
bet he could do it, what are you basing your
decision on. Nuggets are disgusting balls of
fat and chemicals, why would a normal person
be able to eat even 50. I tried eating 20 a
few months ago and made it to 15 before my
disgust-O-meter went nuts. The dog wouldn't
even touch the last five..

Remember that two challengers have gone past 80, one of them after running two miles, and the other not 100%. I'd like to see a SooPoo Jr. and Mission146 face off. I think they could both do it if they competed mano a mano.

What chemicals are in them? Ammonia? I remember reading somewhere their hamburger patties have ammonia in them.

You did no research on these crappy things
before you tried to stuff yourself with them?
Really?

rudeboyoi, I'm curious what you did to prepare for the challenge. Did you keep your usual routine, or do something different (e.g., skip breakfast and lunch, etc.)?
Quote: Ayecarumbarudeboyoi, I'm curious what you did to prepare for the challenge. Did you keep your usual routine, or do something different (e.g., skip breakfast and lunch, etc.)?
Usual routine. Just ate a small breakfast and lunch the day of the event. Then had 2 shots of alcohol at my house like 2hrs before the event. Then had three shots upstairs in vintage Vegas and a mai tai at the long bar. I like to eat when I've been drinking so figured that would help.

No research. I didn't want to scare myself and ruin my confidence in myself.

That biased crap is not "research".
You looked like you were almost ready to turn green in the photo.Quote: rudeboyoiAxels gf said there was a moment she knew I wasn't going to make it. When I was on the first 30 she said she saw I didn't put a whole mcnugget in my mouth and instead just took a bite of it.

I nominate Djac and Rude, they're evenly qualified.
How about 5'4", 140 lb. son of SOOPOO versus BOTH the massive Rude boy and smallish DJ?
As you all most know, my diminutive son downed 88 even whilst using a large portion of his hour to run TWO miles then do TWO New York Times Crossword puzzles.
I believe his 88 outdistanced the SUM of RudeBoi and DJ.
Your son would be the odds on favorite by far. Betting $10, I say you win $1 if you would bet on him. Djatc would damage his reputation if he did well in a second attempt.Quote: SOOPOOHow about 5'4", 140 lb. son of SOOPOO versus BOTH the massive Rude boy and smallish DJ?

I think being small is advantageous.
Dipping them and swallowing whole (or not fully chewed) definitely helps too. That the problem is not the mass or volume of food, it's the fat content. The more of it that passes through you undigested, the better.
Quote: AxiomOfChoiceit's the fat content. The more of it that passes through you undigested, the better.
Yup, the stomach can only tolerate so much
fat and it starts the upchuck process. It's a
warning that you're doing something that could
injure you. A stick of butter is only 4oz, try
eating one sometime and see what happens.
I don't think time (within reason) or anything you do before hand ( again, within reason) really is a big factor.Quote: SOOPOOHow about 5'4", 140 lb. son of SOOPOO versus BOTH the massive Rude boy and smallish DJ?

I think running might even help.
The fact is, your stomach either can Handel it or it cant.
