How dense is the cake? Is the kid a fatass?
I think this is possible.
The odds of him keeping is down are probably 30%. 30% x $1,100 is $330. As an analyst at Wachovia, his pay is probably $100k/year. Is it worth .33% of your salary to be f'ing sick for 2 days? No way.
It's respect, man... respect
Respect? He's not Paul Newman, he's not in a Florida prison camp. I would lose respect for the guy...but would watch for the freakshow factor.
I'll find a kid around here who has no aspirations of moving up and see if he can take the 1 gallon milk challenge.
IMPOSSIBLE!!
you would be wrong penguin...it's about getting it down in the first place.
the cake was 1 foot in diameter and maybe 8 inches high.
he yakked 20 minutes ago apparntly.
hilarious
I remember betting on the over/under on how many girl scout cookies a certain analyst could eat in 10 minutes. he got about 50 down i think
I'll throw 50+ back in 10 mins...wait, you said cookies, not Girl Scouts?
The cookies are way too rich. However, I consider 50 Samoas a reasonable target in 10 mins.
no vassap
How much of the cake did he eat?
not sure...probably less than half
I'm surprised he didn't try and down a gallon of milk with that as well
I remember there was this one bet that seemed really easy but almost impossible. 45 seconds to eat 2 slices of white bread, without any liquids. By the time you get to your second slice, it will dry up most of your saliva making it hard to eat.
Another is 6 saltine crackers in 60 seconds... Seems easy, but almost impossible without any liquids
While this one didn't occur on the trading floor, but at a bar, 1 shot of habanero sauce for $200 filled to the brim of the shotglass. Wonder what the market rate for that bet would be on the trading floor.
without pictures.

Physically, I may have been able to do it, but it seems like social suicide.
Regardless, 1 foot by 8 inches high, means you're getting somewhere around 12-16 servings, at 700-900 cals a serving, with around 10k+ cals. Not good physically by any means.
I have tried the 6 saltines many a times. Also impossible is to eat 4 at once without liquid.
