Someone with some saltines test a theory for me...

Can you eat 10 saltine crackers in 60 seconds with absolutely nothing to drink during that 60 second period??

Test the theory!

(I think it's possible, but atm I have no crackers

)

I have tried this before...much to my dismay...I could only make it to 7 crackers in 60 seconds. It is bloody harder than you think.

I could not do it either. I tried multiple times over the years.

It's generally regarded as impossible. I've never seen anybody pull it off. I'm sure somebody somewhere can do it, though.

i bet i could.
i'll just cram 10 saltines in my mouth at once and start chomping!
we shall find out this weekend at the beach!

Yes, but my tongue feels like I've been chewing a bucket of sand. I hate you.

A couple of my co-workers tested this out about 4 years ago. My friend lost the bet after she started choking >_< Our other co-worker couldn't do it either.

I just saw this thread, walked across the campus to the shop, grabbed a box of saltines, walked back to the office, and had my coworkers time me as I made my first of two attempts at this.

The first attempt, I ate 2 and started laughing and spraying dry cracker all over the floor as I realized the difficulty of this feat.

The second attempt I was able to eat 5. For those of you that haven't tried this, it is MUCH harder than it sounds. After the second cracker, your mouth just pretty much turns into a desert because of all the salt. As soon as you feel this way, and you've come to the realization that you need to be eating 1 cracker every 6 seconds, you'll realize you're screwed.

I'm with Masteen. I hate you.

Some folks on a radio program I listened to tried it. They had a bunch of people come in and told them they would get $$ if they could do it. No one could.

I think I tried that in college... it is pretty hard to get past 4 or so, much less 10!

Letania · Post by **Letania** » April 10, 2004, 2:38 am

the trick is to be really really really hungry, so that even a saltine makes you salivate

REALLY hungry

the test is for saltine crackers, not salty dicks. try again, let!

I don't understand. Are you inferring that I inserted the saltines into my vagina in order to eat them?

I made many a dollar in the lunchroom cafereria my senior year by betting that people couldn't do it. It sounds like a simple feat: I only made them try six. I only lost once, and that was to someone who somehow was able to bit them once and swallow halves of the crackers without chewing. Other than that, no one was ever able to do it. Because the salt sucks up all the moisture, your mouth is unable to process the crackers in that small amount of time.

Spankes · Post by **Spankes** » April 12, 2004, 2:36 pm

I had my cousin try this yesterday. He is the kind of guy that can usually do this kind of shit. When he shoved the first five in his mouth and once, chewed and swallowed in 15 seconds I thought he would make it...then he put the other 5 in his mouth and could hardly chew. There was quite the nasty ball of cracker in his mouth well after the minute was over.

Xanupox · Post by **Xanupox** » April 12, 2004, 5:01 pm

I did this but with the the larger miltary crackers that come in MRE's. (meals ready to eat) Those are huge, like 4 crackers all conntected. I ate two of them in under a minute which would be the equivalent to your 10 saltine theory.

The trick to doing it is getting A LOT of saliva in the mouth prior to the first crunching bite. You also have to "store some" under the tongue and make sure you let at little crack crumb and salt slip under there to mix in with it as posssible.

If you had a whole mouthfull of spit to start off, and dropped half the crackers inside they will goto mush really fast, just chomp and swallow them.

Next you have to get the next 5 in as fast as possible and unleash the hidden saliva from under your tongue... thats the trick. It will still take near the whole minute of intense chomping to get them broken down, but you wont be dryed up completely.

Terarle · Post by **Terarle** » April 12, 2004, 6:58 pm

I managed to get 9 into but couldn't choke the last one down to hit the minute mark.

First 5 sucked, could hardly swallow... Had to come up with some way to swallow, almost choked on the crackers at the 7th, but got two more down before time was up.

By no means do I hold FMH magazine scientific or anything of the like, but in last months issue they tested this. The guy was able to do it.

It is almost impossible to drink a gallon of milk in an hour without puking your guts out. Very few people can do it.
