Blount 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: blount2000

I'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: blount2000

Wishful thinking. You need to be mentally preparing to part with $100 instead of counting on winning $50.


Quote: blount2000

I 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.

You serious, Clark?

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.

I 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.

Appreciate the effort, rudeboyoi.

Perhaps the challenge should be reduced to 50 or so? Seems like 100 is fairly impossible.

Watching 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.

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.

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.

Thanks for all the good tries. Yah eating those many nuggets felt damn near impossible. With the dip sauces I wasn't coating the nuggets in sauce just putting a little dab on each one. I had a mix of different sauces just to switch up the taste of each mcnugget Id eat.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I think running might even help.

The fact is, your stomach either can Handel it or it cant.

My whole viewpoint has completely changed. Until you attempt it yourself you will never fully understand. Before I thought why couldn't mission down 13 more? Dj was pathetic for barely making it past 30. Now I understand how insanely difficult it is having experienced the challenge myself.
