The other food based challenge (maple)

Samir Duran Duran

So I mentioned in the wendys thread that i was putting this thread under consideration and here it is. I propose a race to kill a tall glass (or mid-size container) of maple syrup before the other guy.

Far from being random, this challenge is actually pretty well known practiced. Mainly though, it just seems more focused and fun than the wendys thing.

Anyway, I was thinking of holding this at the final farewell party or maybe coinciding with the wendys thing. So that's out there.

Note to the apprehensive: Maple syrup is actually not that bad, pretty inoffensive really.

How about us Diabetics? Sugar free suryup is like electricity free television.

I'd consider doing this. It's more appealing than the Wendy's challenge, as I can't eat some types of lettuce (I'm allergic to iceberg and boston lettuce, along with white cabbage) and can't stand sour cream so the salads and baked potato rules me out of that event.

Maple syrup though, I can handle that just fine, provided it's real a lot of the imitation syrups have a nasty aftertaste to me.

I plan on being fueled by alcohol the entire con, so doubt I'll do this, unless you plan on doing this in lineup or something, at which point I'd gladly watch.

Nephirij

I'm so in. as I said in the Wendy's forum about this idea.

I am all that is man.

Are we talking real maple syrup or are we talking "Table Syrup"?

Kuthar

Real maple syrup can be quite expensive in my experience (though I haven't purchased any recently). Of course, no expense should be spared in a competition of epic proportions such as this!

JoahW

Definitely Safeway-brand table syrup.

Also, I'm in.

Kyouteki

small human baby?

So, is the chug still on and if so where and when?

You know I've kept my peace on this one until now, but this is just a disturbing challenge.

I've actually done this with a few buddies. There are pictures around somewhere.

My advice: Empty your stomach first. Syrup is heavy and feels REALLY gross when you're full of it. Don't try and vomit it up afterwards, as it's generally too thick to make you feel any better (imagine a throat coated with sugary syrup and stomach acid).

Also, prepare to have your sh*t smell of syrup for like... three days. It's rough.

As absolutely fucking hilarious as this challenge is, for exactly those reasons (reasons I had already considered before you posted them) and for the fact that it's just so fucking bizarre, and for the fact that I'm Canadian and therefore would destroy all you pansy-ass fucks... I can't do this.

I paid way too much money and worked way too hard to get to PAX this year to do something that would make me feel like absolute ass for an entire third of the time I was there.

Good luck guys.

Yeah, my roommates in college chugged a whole bottle of syrup each (ala Supertroopers) and they felt sick afterwards, but not anything debilitating. I'd really not recommend this at any point in the weekend though, since you will indeed feel somewhat sick and it could either impede your PAX time or just make you feel really miserable on your trip home.

mentok1982

I have drank chocolate syrup, strawberry syrup and pancake syrup before, but I have never chugged syrup before.

I have been known to eat entire cans of cherry pie filling all at once though.

Samir Duran Duran

It's really odd that you guys could have had such different experiences than I and my buddies doing this, we suffered no noticeable effects.

Anyway, the amount could easily be adjusted with these concerns in mind.


TIME AND PLACE AS OF NOW: Gather outside of theater B after omegathon round 5 to express interest. Go from there. Also I'll probably try to get the ball rolling at the robot chicken final farewell party, cause its me.

That party was canceled.
