Vending Machine Challenge Underway

By


All 41 items must be completed by 4PM, with an official start time of 11:15AM. Said items include: Cheese Puffs, Snyder Low Fat Pretzels, Goldfish, Doritos, White Cheddar Popcorn, Snyder Regular Pretzels, Snyder Low Fat Pretzels, party mix, Fritos, Baked Lays, Baked Doritos, Lays, Sun Chips, Express Oatmeal, canned fruit, Sour Straws, Reeses, Fiber One Bar, M&Ms, Peanut M&Ms, Goobers, Fiber One Snack, Twizzlers, Snickers Crunch, Twix, Milky Way, Pretzels M&Ms, Snickers Crunch, Skittles, Starburst, peanuts, Raisinets, trail mix, strudel, more trail mix, crackers, sandwich crème cookies and Milanos.

The challenger, whose colleagues at an unnamed Connecticut firm note “is in a motorcycle club- enough said” (??), is apparently so confident that rather than eat a light dinner and get some rest last night, he mowed down a tray of tacos and got little sleep. If he finishes everything by the close and keeps it down for two hours he wins nothing, i.e. “respect.” For those who feel the extremely generous time allotment renders this contest not so much a challenge but a snack, channel your feelings of disgust towards stepping up to the plate with something better.

11:21 Guy has finished Cheese Doodles, Snyder Low Fat Pretzels, Goldfish, Doritos, White Cheddar Popcorn, Snyder Thin Pretzels, and second bag of SLFP’s.

11:35 Party mix, Fritos, Baked Lays, Baked Doritos, Lays, Sun Chips. “Slowing down but still feeling strong.”

11:43 “Over the oatmeal hurdle”

11:57 “Slow down on the Sour Straws. Wants to get it all down fast. Could be epic fail here. Confident he could finish by 4, but doesn’t know if it will stay down.”

12:00 “Feeling alright” with 23 items down but “forgot about a meeting he has to go to- will return fresh at 12:30. Everything is staying down so far.”

12:34 “Back at it after a productive meeting. Wind is back in his sails. Could be done within 1 hour.”

12:57 Down to the cheese crackers and trail mix.

1:15 And…scene.

    I smell back office abuse and money changing hands on the trading desk…
    Best one I was ever a part involved a 1 quart (or was it 2 quart?) can of Cheeze Whiz.
    The back office guy stood to make a couple hundred bucks if he downed the thing but the notional amount of bets on the desk was in the tens of thousands…

    Best I saw: 12" x 24" x 4" aluminum buffet serving dish (the sort of thing that comes from a caterer) full of fried chicken. Middle-office guy had 1hr to finish. $1k for him, multiple $10s of k on side bets. Updates were being broadcast firm-wide over the hoot.

    This challenge seems worse than the other impossible ones like the gallon of milk chug, the sleeve of saltine crackers in a min, and spoonful of cinnamon. Those are at least fun to do and watch, one of the guys at the technical recruiting Agencies I work for has tried all three and it never seems to loose appeal.
