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.
Where I come from, there is a word for this: breakfast.

At first I thought the can was cat food. Now I'm disappointed.

i see a can of dog food
Anyone who gives this comment the thumbs down- ARE YOU FUCKING NEW HERE?
Party Mix is like an orgasm – freaking awesome
Unnamed Connecticut firm… can UBS afford all of this food?

First of all it, isn't a Twix. It's a Fifth Avenue Bar.
It's a good thing the pretzels are low fat, otherwise there might be some real health concerns here.
“forgot about a meeting he has to go to"
LOL.
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…
Also, as a connoisseur of the Poison Ivy series, I would like to add that I, too, often finish with a little Milano.
They were all Twix! It was a setup!
Milano cookies in a vending machine? You think you're better than me or something?
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.
if this guy doesn't have a spare tire or bulge, i may kill myself.
I cannot believe you EVIL CORPORATE CAPITALIST BANKER PIGS!!!!
But seriously though, can I get some of this food? Veggie pizza is getting old.

They were all twix
you had me, really… UNTIL the canned fruit
NFW that came from a vending machine in the US of A.
No Famous Amos cookies? This UBS PM, CFA/MBA, Esquire, Accord enthusiast deserves heinous anus.
- D. Benson
Was the meeting in the bathroom?
So good.
“is in a motorcycle club- enough said”
I thought gays were weight conscious?
Strudel in the vending machine? definitely UBS
I assume this is not in lieu of lunch.
Thats tops, not bottoms.
If they own the vending machine, i imagine they'll beat revenue estimates next quarter…

And now, for the win, Roseanne is going to eat that guy.
The Skittles, M&Ms and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups are kids' stuff. The Fudge Stripes and Elfin Crackers are where you separate the men from the boys.

Stevie Cohen killing time again?
The variety says RBS. The fact that one has time to eat all of this and blog about it says UBS.
Seriously

Good thing you Wall St. shitsuckers are busy with your "real" jobs. Suck cock and die.
crackhead, make up your mind, do we suck shit or cock?
ENRON AND LEHMAN USED SLFP'S!
-occupationless wall street occupier
We all know Twix is the only candy bar with the cookie crunch
Was there an O/U on a 1pm finish? What was the money movement on that?
You first. Just don't do it in the street where I may have to step over you in my Bruno Maglis.
Subtle keebler troll.
12:00-12:30pm: Bulimics Anonymous meeting
Chips, pretzels, canned fruit, m&m's, peanuts, sour straws, and crackers….. and in the end you're left with a king size baby ruth.
You should try the IMF Slider Challenge
-DSK
You don't say?
Just looking at that table full of food is making me feel flabby
I didn't know Roseanne worked in CT.
The red Sharpie on the desk in the "after" shot was no accident.
What kind of vending machine doesn't have gum and/or mints in it?
When you're done do you want to play freeze tag at recess?
this motorcycle-guy's mom is going to be pissed tomorrow when she's scrubbing the family toilet…
Using your real name to build street cred in the hipster community is the NKI.
no bottle of Listerine?
Wow, who knew the third brother from Oasis was EVEN pissier?
And he/she is not going to wash it down with one can of Coke, one can of Diet Coke, one can of grape soda, one can of orange soda, one can of root beer and one fruit punch? Wussy!
HONESTLY, this was weak – no wonder people are protesting our sissy industry
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.
