So yet again, one of the VPs at work asked me, “Sean, hungry? Feel like making a few bucks?” I replied my usual, “Nah sorry, I’m trying to watch the figure / there is no way I could eat all that!” But this time too many people overheard his inquiry, and called me out saying “oh sack up Lynam and do it!”
This brought along some challengers and thus the Great Ice Cream Challenge of 2009 was born!
The rules:
- Eat two pints of ice cream before the other two.
- You can’t melt the ice cream in a microwave and drink it).
- You can’t puke until 30 minutes after your last bite. Gotta hold that down.
- The winner gets a whopping $50!
Pretty simple, right? NO.
Five minutes after starting I start to get really cold, and have to put on a hoodie, gloves and a scarf (the scarf kept the throat warm and safe from freezer burn…). Then I can’t taste anything because my tounge is numb, and the first pint starts to look a lot bigger on the inside than it ever did on the outside.
Jason and Mike finished their first pints before me, but I was channeling the race strategy of the 2007 Race, and planning a late, come from behind victory.
Sadly that didn’t happen. It’s just way too much ice cream, and my second pint was chocolate flavored, which I don’t really like. Nobody ended up getting any money, but I say we were all winners (especially Jason).
