The Challenge: Updated

The challenge of eating a supersized McDonalds meal has been completed. And let’s cut to the chase… I failed.

There could be many excuses – the heat, the fact that we at at 5pm (hardly dinner time!!) or the fact I had stuffed myself with Reeses Butter Cups already etc. But in the end there are no excuses – it was a heck of a lot of food and drink.

Mmmm doesnt that just look delicious!

We were lucky enough to find a McDonalds that actually does the supersizing still. Supersizing seems to be a bit of a dirty word since the movie came out. Of course, everything is bigger in Texas so we were in the right state to find a supersized-enabled Macca’s.

I started off with the fries – did most of them.. then did the burger… started to hit the wall right about there. After downing half the Coke I tried to go back to the fries to finish them off, but I just couldn’t face any more. I could have taken the drink and fries with me to finish later (after all I had 45 minutes to complete the challenge) but at that stage I didn’t want to be within a 10-foot pole of any food so had to admit failing the challenge.

Of course, 20 minutes later I was feeling better and wished I had kept the food so I could finish it.

The leftover fries that stood between me an victory. Damn them!

The Challenge…

I reckon I could eat a supersized McDonalds meal (the kind with huge portion of chips/fried and a litre of coke).

Rob doesn’t think I could.

So the challenge is for me to eat a supersized Macca’s meal somewhere in America. If I win, I get $50. If I lose, Rob gets $50.

As with all challenges, there has to be some ground rules.
1. I can choose when and where I take up the challenge
2. I have to finish the meal in one sitting (which we have said will be within 45 minutes).
3. There can’t be any food revisiting my mouth after being swallowed… eww.

Wish me luck – hopefully there is no graphic aftermath. I will be sure to post the results on this blog, as long as it isn’t too embarrassing.
