Triscuit Eating Challenge...

Delano Middle School has had a triscuit eating challenge for Pennies for Patients for the last several years.  Staff volunteer to eat as many triscuits as they can in three minutes...my record has been 26.  I won a few years ago with that number and have also lost with that number...

Students pledge a certain amount of money per triscuit eaten...they choose the contestant...it's all voluntary of course...

Last Friday was the challenge...my Principal, a first year math teacher and myself were the triscuit eaters...

Some contestants get all dressed up and use 'walkup' music to engage the crowd...

My Principal was the first out...apparently he was booed heavily...

I came out last...

My plan was to follow Randy 'the Macho Man' Savage's entrance...had the music and everything...the kids loved it....

Once we were all ready, it was about time...

You can't just start eating triscuits dry...you've got to soak them in something...I prefer Diet Coke or Diet Mountain Dew...once properly soaked...it's one bite and down...the first time eater didn't know that and had a hard time...though she finished 16 in three minutes...

I like to stand up so the triscuits have somewhere to go...

It took me 2 1/2 minutes to finish my 30 triscuits...I have never finished 30...a new record!!

With the time remaining, I drank the Diet Mountain Dew and triscuit remaining parts down...it was disgusting, but the kids loved it...

It's a disgusting, fun three minutes...money well raised...
