Mission: Nuggets
Quote: Mission146If anyone hates their money that much, I'm willing to bet I can eat 100 of those bad boys in an hour.

I'm not sure who the sucker is, but I'll bet up to $500 he can't do it.
Quote: WizardI'm not sure who the sucker is,
The eater is the sucker. No way, he's over the hill.
This is a job for an 18 year old, and Pierce is past
30.

I don't think I'm at enough of an advantage to go $500, but I'm willing to go $100, and the loser has to pay for the Nuggets.

I agree! The hard part will be deciding on a venue.
Quote: beachbumbabsI'll take $100 of that on Pierce, subject to how the bet is finalized.
I suggest the following.
1. 100 McNuggets must be consumed within 60 minutes.
2. Challenger may eat and drink anything else he wishes to improve his chances. For example, SOOPOO jr. dipped them in something akin to lemonade.
3. The McNuggets may not reverse themselves. Challenger is on the honor system if this happens but doesn't come out of the mouth.
4. McNuggets must remain down for x minutes after the conclusion of the 60 minutes. I'm flexible on what x should be, but I'll float out 15.
Agreed?
I'll be thirty in December.
Chicken Nuggets don't really intimidate me very much, they're not that heavy. The only reason I'm not going to bet $500 is that I'm still going to be subject to whatever my body's natural whims are on the day of the challenge. I could have the flu, or some other illness, that day. Even a cold would likely be my undoing, because you have to able to breathe through your nose in a pretty unobstructed way to be able to competitively eat well...even if you have an hour to do it.
I would say this, as long as I don't have any ailments or illnesses that day, I'm pretty much a near-lock to win. But, I'd be scheduling for December because I must prepare, so it is very possible I'd be bucking a cold.
Quote: WizardI agree! The hard part will be deciding on a venue.
Would video evidence and a present WoV member not suffice? I believe we have a few Members here in the East.
In the movie " The Diner" that scene with Fat Earl waddling out after eating one side of menu ? That character was based on a guy I used to run with. Fat Earl Maggod. Claim to fame was he once had a bet about eating 100 Little Tavern burgers. Sociable bet. If Earl did it, the other guy paid. Earl stopped at 76, order fries and milkshake, other guy paid and stopped the bet. Was Earl bluffing ?
Anyway eating the menu straight down was the favorite bet of Minnesota Fats. Cause some people can eat a lot of a favorite food.
Minnesoat Fats was New York Fats till the movie The Hustler came out in 1961. I was 21 and had racked for Willie Mosconi the year before. He is Willie the stake holder in the movie and has no spoken lines. Jackie Gleason was a pretty good pool player, Paul Newman never held a cue before the movie. Willie did all the trick shots.
Just realized everybody I wrote about is dead. Damn, suddenly I feel old. SIGH
Quote: Mission146But, I'd be scheduling for December because I must prepare, .
no no no, you can't do it beforehand so you'll know
if you can do it or not. It's a cold challenge, no
preparing.
Quote: Mission146Would video evidence and a present WoV member not suffice? I believe we have a few Members here in the East.
I'll accept that, subject to both parties agreeing on the videographer/judge. Maybe SOOPOO will do it, who I certainly trust.
Regarding getting sick, I want your best effort too. Why don't we set a range, like the whole month of December, and you can have your attempt at any time you wish within the month.

2. Challenger may eat and drink anything else he wishes to improve his chances. For example, SOOPOO jr. dipped them in something akin to lemonade.
Agreed?
What was the result of that one? You guys were building up to it, and then there is a 2 1/2 year time skip in the thread.
Quote: EvenBobno no no, you can't do it beforehand so you'll know

I'm not going to prepare by eating 100 Chicken Nuggets, and even if I did, I've already accepted the bet, so what difference does it make?
The first thing that I have to do is lose about 5-10 pounds, I'm down to 195, but you don't want to have a bunch of weight pressing down on your stomach as your stomach needs to expand. The only chicken-nugget specific preparation I will do is probably to eat 25 four days before the event and 25 two days before the event just to get used to them. Any competitive eater will tell you he has to be used to what he is eating or it's hopeless.
Basically, if there were a stipulation that I couldn't eat any Chicken Nuggets before the event, there's no way I'd take the bet. I guess McDonald's Chicken Nuggets are edible, as good as any other, I suppose, but that still doesn't make them good.

You don't want my best effort, Wizard, you need me to be sick! LOL

1.) Yes.
2.) Yes.
3.) I disagree with the honor system. In most competitive food eating contests, if you can keep the regurgitation inside your body, you're still in it. I'm not really a puker, though, so it probably wouldn't come up...but just in case.
4.) I believe it was ten minutes earlier in the thread...

song, they're hilarious. Is this the trash kids listen

Summary:
In the Blue Corner, fighting out of the State of Ohio, standing at a towering height of six feet and four inches, weighing in at 195 pounds, your challenger, Mission146!!!
In the Red Corner, fighting out of Oak Brook, Illinois, weighing in at 4,600 calories, your champion, 100 McDonald's Chicken Nuggets!!!
Bets (So Far):
Mission146: $100 to win.
BeachBumBabs: $100 on Mission146 to win, assuming she is fine with the stipulations.
Buzzard: Undisclosed amount on Mission146 to win.
Wizard: (Up to) $500 on Mission146 to lose.
Side Bets:
There are no side bets, yet, but it might be fun to see if there are numbers of nuggets (under 100) that people want to bet. There could also be a side bet on loss by way of forfeit, loss by way of regurgitation or loss by way of running out of time...

I don't need a system for nugget selection, you just pick whichever nugget is closest to you.

I agree. This 100-pound girl ate a 6-pound burger with 5 pounds of fixings:

The irony is that song was released in 1986.
Quote: WizardGoing out the back end seems fair to me, as that would have completed the eating process.
I'd also ask that this still be the rule. I'm probably going to complete the digestive process for something like this two, maybe three times, in seventy minutes.
I think the nuggets will be gone in under forty, the rest of it is just waiting for me not to puke. Assuming I don't complete the digestive process, you guys will probably get to watch forty minutes of eating and a half hour of me taking a snooze.

Agreed.
Regarding comparing this to other eating contests, the problem with McNuggets is not the quantity of food, but something about the texture or greasiness. There is something about them that the body will only accept so many. A guy watching the original challenge did it himself before and got to about 85. This guy is a huge eater. I wrote about his attempt at the 6-pound burrito challenge in the Sahara review. They way I see, it two worthy challengers are 0-2 against the McNugget challenge. I think my odds are good that Mission will fail as well.
I've already asked of SOOPOO can judge this. No response yet. Another other members in the Ohio area interested? Teddys maybe?

The second of the two challengers ran two miles right beforehand!
If not SOOPOO or TeddyS, then perhaps AZDuffman would like to judge. Fair disclosure, AZDuffman and I are friends, but he wouldn't cheat for me and I wouldn't cheat anyway.
up in a nice room in his hotel and has a casino nearby, I'll drive
down and do it.

up in a nice room in his hotel and has a casino nearby, I'll drive

Really?
I'm cool with that, I live about as far East in Ohio as you can get, but if you're coming down, that'd be cool.
That was my first and last eating challenge. I liked to eat big but eating that much killed the enjoyment so I stick with regular stuff. That said I'll probably go to the Heart Attack Grill once when I move to Vegas to get my free meal. Then after that try to walk more so my heart doesn't explode when I'm on a VP machine.
Quote: PerditionSo before I tried I ate a large pizza.
Why in the world would you eat before an eating contest? lol...
Quote: EvenBobNear where. Free room at your hotel?
Near Wheeling, and yes.
Quote: teddysI have to go inspect some land in Carroll County that I was going to do in November, but could put off 'til December. But anyway, I"m not that busy these days, so put me in as a possible judging candidate.
I'd meet you there, I love Carrollton!
Quote: Beethoven9thWhy in the world would you eat before an eating contest? lol...
Right idea, wrong food.
You do want to expand your stomach before an eating contest, but you don't want to do it by eating a ton of anything (like an entire pizza) or anything heavy at all. You want to eat a few small things, such as lettuce or cabbage, that are also low calorie in the hours leading up to the competition to expand your stomach.

One hour is a long time. I think you can do it! I once drank a bottle of ketchup in 10 minutes for $50. Really one of the most stupid things I've done. Years later I would find out that people have died from that before because of the ridiculous amount of sodium. Good Luck if you do it!
Mike is correct about the texture/greasiness being the nugget limiting factor more than weight/volume. David had successfully completed a 5 pound burrito challenge in half an hour at our local Burrito Bay. I believe a google search will show his picture in the t shirt he won from them.
It is difficult to make odds on this event. A true competitve eater would have no difficulty whatsoever with this challenge. A regular indulger, like myself, would have nearly no chance. Exactly where Pierce falls in the spectrum is hard to surmise.
So- early morning odds---- Yes -220 No = +180
If it can be arranged, I would like to invite Pierce and anyone else interested to the Buffalo/Niagara Falls area to attempt this challenge. I believe I can convince some attractive friends of mine to be present for photo ops as well (Mike knows who!). And if by some chance Pierce can do it over Thanksgiving weekend I can have David there, too. Perhaps he would want to attempt the challenge as well without the running and puzzling.
What city in Ohio are you from, Pierce?
By the way- there is a McDonalds right near the Pierce-Arrow museum in Buffalo...... karma?
Quote: Mission146Really?
I'm cool with that, I live about as far East in Ohio as you can get, but if you're coming down, that'd be cool.
And I live far enough west in NY to be able to hear the groans of agony.
This will not end well =)
Quote: SOOPOOSo- early morning odds---- Yes -220 No = +180
Is your window open? I'm looking to bet more, and ask for only even money on the NO.

Who knows, I just might show up if we do this somewhere fun.

Buzz,
Love these memories. Was just reading a Nero Wolfe last night where Archie mentions going down to the hall to watch Mosconi play, hoping he gets asked to rack for him, but gets sidetracked by a case. Now I know where Rex Stout got his best character...you're such an inspiration!
