FOOD CHALLENGE: Make $100 in BTC

[wearehatetherules]

if your funds have escrowed, and the i will decide to do this crazy task or not. just it.

I've requested escrow:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=708658.msg11026773#msg11026773

Anyone want to jump on this for $50?

For $100 I'd expect a perfect submission

great! waiting for confirmation that your funds escrowed and then i'll decide

So, wait.... let me get this absolutely straight, clear and with no confusion or misunderstanding at all.

If I go to Taco Bell, I can order anything I want from their menu, as long as it is equal to or greater than 1400 calories?

Then after 8 hours, eat 4 lbs of watermelon, are we talking total weight or rind removed? Not that it matters much, but i want clarification on it.

I will do it, for sure, once these clarifications have been clarified quite clearly.

I'm gonna hold you to your original post. Been a while since I've had anything from Tacco Bell. I've got to take public transit to get there so I hope it's still open. You gonna make me eat the watermelon seeds or can I spit them out? That's all I need for clarification. 

I'm on my way right now.

This has actually been confirmed twice in this thread if you actually takes some times to think and read about it

This is about a 16lb watermelon. 40% of the weight is the rind so that would have 9.6lb's of flesh so for this you'd eat around half of it in one sitting

version 1:

eat 6lbs or 700 calories of watermelon 8hrs later (or at night)

version 2:

eat 4lbs of watermelon

By the words "eat" it should have been the flesh and not the rind

I guess I should alter that. any regular meal options; minus beverages, deserts & sides. Any combo of tacos/burritos/taco salads.

I do not have any taco bell close, rather in my country, can i do it with burger king? or mcdonalds, if I'm gonna be fat i'll do it with something tasty

If you take $50 for it and tell me the menu items you're eating first then I'm down

[fdylstyx]

OK I'm back. Turns out there's no Taco Bell in Victoria anymore so I went to Taco Time then I went to Walmart and picked up 3 mini watermelons that weighed a total of 13 pounds. The skin is thin on those so should be no problem getting the weight I need to finish the challenge. it's been almost 2 hrs since I ate the Large Beef & Cheese Burrito @ 918 calories + a Large Mexi-Fries Deluxe @ 771 calories for a total of 1,689 calories intake during one sitting.

Almost spilled my water all over my phone as I was using it to prop up the camera angle. That would have been a disaster!

I haven't had a chance to check the recording to see if they're all time stamped but it will have been two hours since I finished eating my late breakfast challenge by the time I post this.

So OP, I read you'll edit and post to YouTube what I have when I'm done. That's good because I don't have a YouTube account and really don't want one at this time.

I record the weighing and eating of the watermelon in about 6 hrs from now. Tomorrow I'll do the second part of the challenge.

Have you found someone to escrow this by any chance? Guess I'll PM you for further instructions.

K, it's been a little more than two hours since I finished eating so I should record that fact to show I'm not turning green, or blue.

Thanks! well since you already determined on the challenge; its not really needed to escrow, I'll just send directly to you one I see the video

AWAITING ENTRY from fdylstyx, ANY NEW CONTENDERS ARE NOT GUARANTEED ANY COMPENSATION

[fdylstyx]

Dude...I shit you not...the video wasn't recording when I ate the damned meal...I just checked and it's not there...just me showing buying and then showing the food. I guess when I went to prop the phone up against the glass of water I must've inadvertently shut off the recording.

I could do it again tomorrow and make sure I get it right. I'll save the watermelon for tomorrow night and I hadn't noticed that it had to be 1400 calories of main courses because I was gone already and I was conserving battery for the recording so I wasn't keeping tabs on the thread.

If you've got a lot of others wanting to do this then I'll understand.

Bummed out,

It is little sad that you only included Taco Bell as your source of meals. I live in EU and I don't have any Taco Bells in my vicinity. Could you please think of McDonald's or KFC challenge? Kebab & pizza is fine as well...
Or if you limit this challenge only to US it will fine too...

yeah do that. Or what food do you have on hand at home? I can see if anyone is substitute worthy

Those could work fine; let me know a meal choice for approval. But for now let's give fdylstyx tomorrow to complete

[fdylstyx]

I sent some video to you, just to show you I was where I said I was. You can check the time stamp too.

If I'm going to do this right for you I think it best I start again in the morning and then tomorrow night eat the watermelon. Unless you have any time constraints.

Using Taco Time at least I can record the calories and show them. I don't mind the extra run tomorrow at all. Just want to straighten out my mess. I'll leave the decision to you.

Awesome...I'm all over it tomorrow then. Thanks FMT. Did my video get through to you?

Hello. Can you explain first what would be the possible outcome if a person eat all of those foods?

you probably won't die.

Lol thats a great quote, and what happens if someone does die, any compensation for that outcome?
I know it's a long shot.

I think the most they'd get is diarrhea or vomit; I'm not even sure that would happen in >10% of cases

maybe bloating; if you feel sudden pain and worried about your appendix then definitely go to the hospital, seek medical attention

[fdylstyx]

I'm not feeling any worse for wear. I was real thirsty but I was holding off until I sat down in front of 6 pounds of watermelon. For me that's going to be the real challenge. Can't stand the taste of it.  Don't like sour tasting things either.

$100 USD worth of BTC is worth it.

Oops...update...the gas is coming out of me now.

Wow!  That sucks... I wouldn't suggest you try and blow your stomach up TWO days in a row.  Perhaps give it a little time off before trying again? :O
