Chicken McNugget Challenge #4
Quote: rudeboyoiI have no idea how Mission made it to 87 but props to him.
Quote: AxiomOfChoiceYa, I have to agree, 87 is crazy.
Considering that this place is filled with math geeks, you people are bad with numbers. Mission did NOT eat 87 McNuggets. He ate 77 and part of number 78.Quote: AyecarumbaRemember that two challengers have gone past 80
SOOPOO's son holds the WoV record at 88.
I don't either. In order to successfully complete this challenge, one must first determine whether or not he/she can even eat 100, period. That's going to cost a few bucks right there, so you'll be going into the bet being "in the hole" from the start. An attempt for $100 makes no sense. $1K would make it worthwhile.Quote: AxelWolfI don't even understand why someone would attempt this for less then 1k.
Quote: SOOPOOHow 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 boy was so close. In retrospect, is there anything he could have done differently to get those last 12 down? I'm not a betting man but If I were I would never bet against him.

My son told me he felt like if he ate one more they would all come up. As many have stated, time was not an issue at all. He had plenty more time despite really only having around half an hour to eat the 100 morsels. He did all the preparation stuff like a real competitive eater. He used sauces and dunking as well. It is possible if he tried again without the running in hot weather before, variance might be on his side and he might succeed. We have agreed that he won't try again.
Quote: EvenBobThese 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.
Just as long as everyone gets a trophy. Isn't that how it is these days?
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?
1BB,
I'm trying to imagine why you think I would answer this rudeness. Really. Go away.
Quote: EvenBobYou did no research on these crappy things
before you tried to stuff yourself with them?
Really?

Really???? Millions eat them everyday and I don't think Rudeboyoi considered the health effects of eating 1 or 100 before trying the challenge. His attempt is the stuff that made this country great. Win or lose, trying something others don't think possible is part of the American Dream. You know, like Mitt Romney tried. Trying to win the Presidency from someone already in office with an electorate that would vote for his challenger regardless of policy or results.
You backed Mitt, why not Rude? He has the balls to try it with nothing but reward if he beat the goal and nothing if he lost.
We need more like Rudeboyoi and less who don't have the heart to try.
Quote: beachbumbabs1BB,

I bet $100 with another member on here and paid when I lost. I cant speak for BBB but she made a bet, like I did at odds we considered fair with a chance to win.
I met Rudeboyoi and thought he had a chance. He didn't make it, but that is what betting is about.
I also bet the Detroit Lions to win the Division this year at 17/5. Is that also a donation to Cantor Gaming?

Yes. Yes it is ;)
Quote: beachbumbabs1BB,

I'm never rude. Just because you didn't like the question doesn't make it so. At least I got you to answer a question.
I'm a little embarrassed because I never made the association that you were Barbara until just now. As our friend Buzz would so aptly put it. DUH! Anyway, if someone did make a bet in the manner that I described, I would see it as a very noble thing. I'm not sure why it upsets you.
I take go away as a personal insult. Unbiased mods?
Quote: AxelWolfIf someone does accomplish this(I Have seen it done countless times on YouTube by seemingly normal people). I would not be impresses, it's not something one should add to a list of accomplishments. The only value is the money you have ridding on yourself. I don't even understand why someone would attempt this for less then 1k.
I don't know Rudeboyoi's finances and don't even want to bring them into play here, but I think money has a different meaning to you and I depending on income level.
I have 40 employees, who I consider family and make my business work. You may or may not have a similar level, but we live different lives than them. But they would never consider flying to Vegas 5 times a year like I do or me spending $200 on a Tommy Bahama shirt normal behavior, like I do.
Nor would I ever consider losing the money Ace does on a weekend acceptable. Nor am I willing to take the risk to reward Ace does (as he sometimes wins) and I know you wouldn't either.
It is all about your level of comfort based on your lifestyle and income.
And no, sometimes the 2 don't match.
Quote: FaceYes. Yes it is ;)
Seems like decent odds to take. I suspect it'll be close this year. I'm a Lions homer, though, so... I best go get my money down :)
Quote: FaceYes. Yes it is ;)
Thank You, Thank you for your support. I like the odds based on the respect Caldwell has from the players and Stafford. Yes GB is a huge favorite but betting on Cutler isn't any better.
You can laugh at me mid October when they are 3-4.

Just friendly ribbing. You can get me back when the Leafs start off 13-0 and I start "guaranteeing" a Cup.

Certainly a reach. If telling someone to go away were an infraction, half the board would be gone every time EB posts ;)
It looked to me to be typical misunderstanding based on text communication. I took your comment as ribbing, not as an insult or a question as to integrity. Babs took it differently and disapproved. You disapprove of the disapproval. We could continue, but need we?

I took it as a shot at BBB from someone who questions many of the ways this forum works based on his posts calling this a "dictatorship". From a distance BBB takes this job seriously and is fair across the board (she suspended me for a week recently), as you do.
If 1BB was questioning her bet on its merits, then they must question mine on Rudeboy and the others who bet on him.
I still am at odds on why people who question how this forum works based on its track record of fairness post here.
BBB, Mission, You and of course The Wizard are as fair it gets. Like it or leave it. We all have a choice.

Hold on just a second. The Wizard uses the term benevolent dictator. I happen to like it so I use it occasionally. Face understands completely. I certainly hope everyone listens to his voice of reason and this doesn't get dragged on for the rest of the night.
Are you the Boz that used to post on Blackjack:The Forum?
Quote: WizardAfter the last two attempts, I think a prerequisite should be at least doing at least 50, or some other eating challenge.
Now, where have I heard that before?
..says the man whose personal best is only 33. Now, if it was a pizza challenge...I'd probably do about as well; I think I can get through a 16" diameter pepperoni, but an 18" (which, people don't seem to realize, is actually 26.5625% bigger) is pushing it.

No, and sorry if you took it wrong.
Any Boz other than myself and Brian (see Bo Jackson & NCAA t-shirts) Bosworth are total fakes.

I was under impression you were him, too. Along with sonovabish name.....I believe Norm banned both names on BJTF because they were dodging or attempting to dodge bans on their IP.

I'm glad to hear that because the Boz over there is permanently banned for having two identities, the other which is very familiar here. He didn't have your good writing style.
But being on both sides, hands down it's so much better being a non smoker. I can exercise more to try to keep the weight off. Not sure that McNuggets taste much better to a smoker/non smoker, not sure it matters.

Quote: IbeatyouracesThey'll win the cup long before the lions win the super bowl.
I think thecesspit and I have been working our way to that exact bet ;)
Smoking increases the metabolism as well. You of course correct about the taste buds and sense of smell but it's not only that.Quote: ImbatmanThat's not why. It's because smoking kills so many taste buds, that when you quit smoking, food tastes 1,000 times better, and hence the weight gains. I have first hand knowledge of this.

No I am a functional illiterate who makes posts from time to time that make no sense. I am very clear who I am if anyone wants to do a little research based on the info I provide on google. I have nothing to hide.
I own a bar/restaurant in PA that has won awards, I travel to Vegas multiple times a year and my wife is on facebook.

Can I take, "Field"? hehe, it could be a long time before that wager is settled.
Quote: AyecarumbaCan I take, "Field"? hehe, it could be a long time before that wager is settled.
I'll take the Lions reaching a superbowl before the leafs reaching a Stanley cup final... it might settle sooner :)
And I thank you.Quote: rudeboyoiI also bet $32 on myself the day of the event getting 3.5:1.
Quote: 1BBIt looks like it was derived from Welsh. Somewhere down the line some folks started to replace the s with the c perhaps for the same reason you do. Welsh is still often the choice. What do you think Paco? Do you want to take this one?.
It first shows up in 1857 in context of not paying horse racing bets. But Welch was always a family name as well. Thomas Welch was born in England, but not far from the Welsh border. He emigrated at the age of 8 to the USA, and was responsible for inventing the pasteurization process on grapes, and is the namesake of the brand of jelly.
A lot of English was not standard spelling. So I imagine that Welsh and Welch stood as separate spellings for a long time. I doubt that anyone in the 19th century used a 'c' in the word in an effort to be politically correct.
But it is almost certain that the verb "to welch" was based on a stereotype of the Welsh.

It's stupid when the outcome is so certain and the excitement gets drained. The people can still attempt 100 if they want, but something more reasonable as the actual goal would be enough to wonder if the person could do it. Plus with the odds moving to higher multiples after each failure, you're eventually going to see default on these bets made. They all say they wouldn't, but it gets more likely I would think. Why even take a chance ruining the fun by creating a situation which might have strife?Quote: Zcore13I don't think there is any reason to change the bet or food for this challenge. That's why it's called a challenge. If everyone, or even half the people that tried it could do it, what would be the fun of that. 100 has been approached. It's not impossible. But it sure as heck isn't easy.

I can see your point, but risk/reward is what this board is all about, isn't it? Risk includes the possibility of non-payment, but we have methodologies to reduce exposure. I think what will find next time is that the action simply dries up.
The possibility of a "Buster Douglas", or a, "Superbowl Safety" upset gives hope, but who will offer the odds to stir action?
Quote: onenickelmiracleIt's stupid when the outcome is so certain and the excitement gets drained.
So bet on the no.
As for the odds moving higher, I only offered +200. This was when the Wizard was only offering even money!!!
As for default, I'm not sure about that. I'm 3-3 on bets on this forum and have been paid extremely quickly (within hours) each time. One of them was a pretty high odds bet (super bowl safety).

Obviously the outcome wasn't certain, or people would not have bet on him succeeding. If this was an 80 nugget challenge, my son would have succeeded easily with gobs of time to spare, and room for a small snack after. The difficulty is what makes it interesting. There are people who can do this without any difficulty, not many, and obviously no WoV member as of yet.
Quote: RSJust ate 30 McNuggets tonight in 16 minutes. Only bought 30 nugs. Wasn't eating fast or anything (watching South Park). I feel like I could eat 40. But if I were trying to eat 100....I would have quit after McNug #2, just because I'd know eating 100 wouldn't be possible.
I ate 30 in 5mins. Idk what it was. I felt terrible after that 30. Not sure if my stomach was getting full or it was the salt/chemicals/grease in the mcnuggets that made me feel terrible. Maybe the Gatorade wasn't the best choice because it has a lot of salt in it too. I think using various dipping sauces was a good idea though just using a dab to get a different taste in my mouth.
Before reading the previous posts, I had a 30 nugget challenge of my own. I was going to try it at KFC but decided on Hungry Jacks (Australia's Burger King equivalent) instead due to the price.
At KFC nuggets were $6/6 $9/10. Hungry jacks had $3/6.
The quality of the nuggets was absolutely horrible. I'd be able to eat way more at KFC or McDonald's. I finished them all quite easily and could definitely have eaten more food....just not nuggets, they were getting pretty gross. I went back to the counter and ordered an ice cream, sort of like a victory lap.
Out of curiosity, who coughed up for the nuggets in Rudeboi's challenge, did he have to buy them himself?
Quote: GWAEI was confident that I could eat that much food but after todays lunch I am not sure. My boss took me out for all you can eat sushi today so we had a contest. I ate 58 pieces of sushi, egg roll, chinese donut, 3 cokes, 12 pieces of shrimp cocktail, and a big bowl of ice cream. I am not sure how that would stack up to 100 nuggets but I feel like hell now. However, it was free lunch and I won the contest so I get a 2nd free lunch.
That is disgusting.
What were the "pieces of sushi"? 1/8th of a sushi roll? Were they the tiny ones that are, maybe, an inch in diameter?
You might be the one who can complete this challenge....

that is correct. They are either cut into 6 or 8 from a roll. Not sure exactly. Today while making my own sushi I had 6 rolls. I was experimenting with different ways. However, this was over the course of about 2 hours.

Ok, I think you have a shot at this, but I think you would fall a little short if you tried to eat them normally.
58 pieces of sushi is a lot, but most sushi (especially the cheap stuff) is very low in fat (it's mostly rice, and your body can handle a lot more starch and carbs than it can handle fat).
It's still a lot of food though. I'm sure you have the capacity for it. If you did it competitive-eating style (dunk in a liquid, and swallow without chewing, or with minimal chewing) you might have a shot if you could get it down before digestion started and your brain starting saying "no more!".
It's pretty gross, though, and it probably won't be pleasant coming back up. Might not be the safest thing in the world either. I wouldn't do it...

I can actually eat this much, still I did horrible during the nugget challenge. It's all about eating the same type of food, as well as something that is greasy.

I have been saying for years that I am overweight because that part of the brain that tells me I am full does not work. I can literally eat until my stomach hurts. I don't stop because I am full, I stop because I am in pain. Now obviously I don't always eat like this, just at buffets and parties. As soon as I get my blood pressure back under control I am going to take a test run at the nuggets.
