Last week, one of our lunch break saw us visiting the panacea of American “Grande Cuisine”, the one and only Wienerschnitzel, home of the “$6 chili dog - chili hamburger - small fries - medium soda combo”!
Before leaving the place, we saw a poster in the window that attracted our attention… The 5 Chili Dogs for $5… To good to be true! Looked so disgusting that we had to try it! Our lunch already ingested, we decided to come back a couple of days later and try to eat the 5 chili dogs.
Once back to the office, I rapidly noticed a new appointment in my schedule. Monday, at noon, the 5 chili dogs challenge was booked!
Few of us were showed up (6 to be precise) but only 3 of us had the courage to take on the 5 pieces of stodgy food: Mike, Brad and Myself.
Mike was kind enough to do some research for us and came up with the fact that eating the dogs would deliver a whopping 1,450 calories. Adding to this approximately 300 calories for a large Coke (I had to wash down these things) and we are close to 1,800 calories.
I did my own homework and was told that due to my height, weight and activity (office worker), my daily intake should be around 2,000 calories. So that meal could almost be enough for a day or considered (on the strict calorific level) as a light diet!!!
And to my surprise, we all did it. We ate our 5 chili dogs within less than 15 minutes and none of us felt too bad after it. Well, I must admit that around the 4 1/2 mark, my stomach tried to complain and pain could be seen on my face for a very short amount of time!
We now have to find what our next stupid food challenge is going to be. Any idea please, share it here!
