Webber's bread challenge for Charles Barkley

I was up pretty late last night doing work on my laptop when I saw the commotion... I had to rewind (do we even say this anymore for Digital stuff? ) my DVR on the show... I was laughing so much I almost woke my family up. Good stuff... nice to see Charles play along... and a great challenge for anyone NOT prepared.

 

Ive done this challenge but I thought it was supposed to be a minute, I don't know if anyone can get it in a minute either.

 

is this ordinary bread?

 

yeah it's just one slice of regular bread... maybe it is 30 seconds, i don't remember...either way it sounds easier than it is.

 

i have tried to eat 3 packs of saltine crackers in 60 seconds. that's a total of 6 crackers. couldn't do it. too dry and can't stop laughing.

 

I just tried it. 33 seconds. I'm sure with an intense training regiment I could get under 25.

 

WTF? i took the challenge and failed miserably. 2 minutes 22 seconds for a slice of Nature's Own Honey 7 Grain bread

 

I just did it in 23 seconds with Pepperidge Farm Hearty White. Yeah, it turns into "peanut butter" in your mouth... but just swallow and it'll go down.

I didn't smash the bread before hand, but I'm assuming smashing/balling would make it easier. (I didn't even want to eat the first slice... but science demanded it.) I tore it in 2 and got the full 'peanut butter' effect with the first half, but the 2nd half I again tore in 2, but this time I let the last 2 pieces get a little wet, couple chews and swallow.. chew chew swallow.

/shrug



I just used my quota for 'swallowed' for the year.

(sigh, 90 calories, 190 mg sodium, and 19 carbs in the name of science.)

 

can you use wheat bread?

 

Two guys with likable personalities but ultimately disappointing pro careers.
