I have been meaning to bring online a listing of the various food challenges I have encountered in my life. There is a wide variety of them and I’m sure I don’t even remember them all. But those that I do remember are all very interesting and deserve to be shared.
Many months ago Nail noticed that the four of us were able to consume an entire box of a dozen doughnuts in a very short period of time. “I bet you we could finish a dozen doughnuts in 2 minutes,” he stated. And the Doughnut Challenge was born.
Today we attempted the Doughnut Challenge. It was decided that filled doughnuts or cake doughnuts must be used. The doughnuts that made up the challenge included: boston cream, double chocolate, chocolate glazed, apple fritters, and some maple doughnuts. After the doughnuts arrived we began the challenge. 2 minutes was set on a timer and we began.
Muis was going for three boston cream doughnuts–an incredible challenge; a challenge that he powered through with success. Brian: two apple fritters and a double chocolate. Brian was the laggard of the group, consuming nearly both of the fritters but not touching the double chocolate. Nail had three maple doughnuts, which he nearly finished but not quite in time. And myself, I had a chocolate glazed, an apple fritter, and a double chocolate. At the end of two minutes I was left with a piece of double chocolate and a piece of apple fritter in either hand.
An unsuccessful attempt at the doughnut challenge.
I’m pretty sure that, if I had known time was about to expire, I could have stuffed that last bite in my mouth. Not being able to see the timer during the challenge was definitely a limiting factor.
I’m confident that this is doable.
I also felt like I was not fully prepared. I really wanted a rocket ship of chocolate milk before I attempted the challenge. Alas, we were too eager to get started. Perhaps next time we will take the challenge more seriously.
I am reminded of the first time I did the CN Tower climb.
