60 Chicken McNuggets

Man, I had been tossing around this idea for a while to go out there and try my luck at the 60 chicken mcnuggets. It didn't seem to be that outlandish of a goal, and quantity-wise should be quite doable. Plus the internet was alive with videos and stories of super-chumps who had conquered this task... I don't have many pictures of this, but I do have my time-lapsed thought process - I was writing a paper at the same time.

3 min - 10 down, lets kick it
8 min - 20 down, and I'm writing a paper
13 min - 30 gone, feeling a little grossed out
18 min - how can nuggets taste bad...?
22 min - 40 down. this is nauseating. heart's pounding fast, i had the sweats, this was a terrible idea.
32 min - 45 done. I dont think i can finish. i should get a drink. re-energize it up.
35-37 min - took a break to order a diet coke
42 min - 50!! soda is helping, but nausea is mounting. "i thought that guy who did it on wall street in 20 min was a pansy." mad props, dude.
47 min - stalling at 53 nuggets... seems like a towel is imminent


53 min - reached the one nug/min line. towel is in.

And, what remains:

Spike's Challenge!

It has been some time since I've taken on a challenge. Not to say that I haven't been eating inordinate amounts of food, but nothing formal. So while in Boston for my fraternity's Initiation Banquet, I decided to take on the Spike's Hot Dog Challenge. The challenge is to eat 6 hot dogs in under an hour and a half. Sounds easy, but these are some pretty large hot dogs. I'd failed this once during my undergrad, but I knew I was better prepared. I decided to up the stakes a little by going in massively hungover and already nauseous.


I decided to get 3 buffalo hot dogs, 2 sauerkrauted up dogs, and one insanely effing spicy dog. Attacking just the hot dogs first, and leaving the buns for last, I clipped along at a pretty good pace. The spicy dog halted me in my tracks for a few minutes (VERY spicy), but I kept chugging along. 20 minutes in, I had finished the hot dogs and moved on to the buns.


47 minutes in, I finished it up. Feeling like crap, but I blame that on the spice and the hangover. Count it!
