Bye Week

No challenge last week - too many things going on (ie we got a kegerator). Tomorrow will likely be 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. We'll see how it goes.

Syrup Chugging

Most recently Paul and I partook in a syrup chugging challenge. I probably finished close to 2/3 of the syrup but couldn't get it all down. We screwed up and got regular syrup instead of maple syrup so it was much thicker than normal syrup and took a long time to chug just to get that much down. I felt pretty sick for most of the rest of the night and wouldn't recommend doing this to anyone - though maple syrup may be very different and much more doable. Video was taken for this challenge as well as many other previous challenges however the filesizes are very large and until I find a way to compress them they probably won't get uploaded.



Wendy's Dollar Menu


Image courtesy of uc.edu, unfortunately I did not bring my camera to this challenge.

The second major challenge of the year was to eat the whole Wendy's dollar menu. It turns out there's actually 11 different items since we didn't know about the mandarin oranges going in. We did not elect to eat both burgers either. The 10 items chosen for the challenge were:

1. burger
2. chicken sandwich
3. salad
4. frosty
5. baked potato
6. chili
7. fries
8. soda
9. yogurt
10. nuggets

There were 3 participants in this challenge including Nate, Frank and Jason. No one managed to finish all 10 items. Frank managed to finish 9 electing not to eat the baked potato in ~50 minutes. Jason came in a close 2nd trying to finish all 10 in the alotted 45 minutes for his sidebet with Frank but came up short leaving his sandwich buns and fries unfinished.

Ben smokes 20 cigarettes at once

The first major challenge of the year was to smoke a full pack of cigarettes (20) at once. Ben took some convincing but we finally got him to do it. He was going to have challengers, but no one manned up when Tuesday came besides Ben.








We're Official

Challenge Tuesday got started 2nd semester last year when a group of us decided to participate in a challenge every Tuesday to make the beginning of the week more interesting. Previous challenges have been 14 juiceboxe race, 1/2 gallon of milk race, small jar of peanut butter, jones soda thanksgiving specialty drinks, not sleeping, not eating and 6 saltines in a minute. Not all were documented and I may or may not make posts for all the previous challenges. If you have any suggestions for future challenges you would like to see please send them to arennhack@gmail.com - we are always looking for new ones.
