11:00 A financial services hack is about to attempt 50 munchkins in 40 minutes. This strikes me as a bit weak but then again, so many of you have failed at even weaker challenges (20 vending machine items over the course of 8 hours? 5 bags of chips in 100 minutes) that we’ll take it. Mixed box– chocolate glazed, regular glazed, sugar coated, jelly filled. He’s 24, 5 ’11 and 175 lbs. Contender is a water polo player in his free time and “there is talk of some Speedo-wearing consequence if he fails.”

11:10: 15 munchkins down, 35 to go. “Faster-than expected start.”

11:12: I’ve been asked to add that “he is a premature balder, and also considers himself a Professional ‘Bro’.”

11:24: 34 down, 16 to go. “He is slowing down though and is no longer talking smack. I told him he should be eating the heavier munchkins first, he responded with ‘Shut the hell up.’ Also, forgot to mention he had a Bacon Egg and Cheese a few mins before starting.”

11:27: 37 down, 13 to go.

11:32: “This tastes like cardboard” he says. 43 down, 7 to go. Onlooker: “His face is starting to turn red and looks like he is in agony. He just left to get a glass of water. He is now telling people not to look at him.”

11:35: 45 down, 5 to go. “He is completely silent. He is trying to drink water, looks like this is going to be a close/weak finish with the pace he is going at. Just looked into the box, only jelly munchkins left. He’s too sick to be pissed.”

11:39: “He hasn’t eaten a single munchkin in the last two minutes. This embarrassing.”

11:40: FAIL. “He called it quits with four munchkins remaining. After a few gags, he headed immediately for the bathroom.”

Postmortem: I don’t want to be too hard on the guy but I can’t hold back here– this was a cake walk of a challenge that resulted in an abysmal fail. I’m sickened by the display today and the only thing that can possibly pull me out of this emotional hole is if someone successfully completes a Double Down this afternoon. That’s it.

    @13 “Bess, why the Speedo?”

    Do I work there? Do I know these people? Did I make the terms of this challenge? The hint that I was quoting what was being said in their office was when I put the words “there is talk of some Speedo-wearing consequence if he fails” in, wait for it, quotes.

    @54 I was partaking in shit like “food eating challenges” on trading desks before there was an internet, you fucking pussy. So shove your three years of reading Dealbreaker up your mother’s ass.

    As I was saying, I remember enjoying this site from time to time. Now it’s just stupid.

  62. Posted by guest | May 7, 2010 at 1:54 PM

    @61 your opinion might have more merit if you weren’t still here, reading and commenting (earlier this morning, and then now again). if it sucks so much why do you keep coming back?

    “Your Mothers ass”. Very clever and well crafted. You’ve got a real gift!

    What did you do at the trading desk? You sound like the ex-jock/moron type guy kept around because his brother in-law was big at the firm.

  65. Posted by Anonymous | May 7, 2010 at 2:10 PM

    yeah, a muchkin donut has 60 calories, so he is eating a total of 3000 calories, which isn’t that much.

    I tried a double down today. A lot of food, but not tasty at all. They need to can that shit in the middle and stick to chicken. No wonder no one wants the challenge; unlike dd, it’s nasty to eat.

    I didn’t know fifty donut holes WAS a challenge. I thought it was Friday.

  72. Posted by Anonymous | May 8, 2010 at 7:16 PM

    These challenges are always “abysmal failures” because for some reason these guys consistently overestimate human stomach capacity by 50% (go back and look at every single challenge ever) and do not understand basic laws of space and physics. Are they all former Lehman quants?
