How can they tell which of those eggs have been fertilized? I mean, what if you bite into a live baby Cadbury?

I don't particularily like those things (too sweet for me, makes my teeth hurt) but the way you SELL it L.T. ..... you know, as a gross carnage of the young and innocent unborn, I may have to resample those bad boys soon!

Happy Easter! [Big Grin]

Looks like today is the day.

I figure if I'm going to do this, I probably shouldn't try on a "work night" and, given the fact that I have no Easter commitments whatsoever I can totally just crash tomorrow if necessary to recover.

So, right now I'm starting to pound water, both to get hydrated (this is going to be twice the recommended allowance of sodium) and to get my belly warmed up without taking in any additional food. I'm probably going to kick it off around 4-ish.

Well, there are two basic components:
1) Can your stomach hold the volume of 50 creme eggs? (apparently, it can distend to around 3 litres, so probably, but I honestly don't know what the volume of one is to say. If it's more than around 50-60ml, you may be in trouble with that alone, and you will CERTAINLY be in pain)
2) Can you stomach 50 horrendously sweet things? (even though I have a sweet tooth, I can't even take ONE creme egg)

The potentially-lethal sugar hit shouldn't be a component in the challenge itself, of course, since that'll hit you later. Make sure to have someone post from the hospital to let us know how you are [Wink]

P.S.-- I searched in vain for ages, in hopes of seeing this series of adverts again. I must not have used the right search terms, or given up too soon, because here they are!

This is officially the best Easter ever!! [Yes]

What was the title of this thread again?

Yeah... about that...

The challenge:

The great unwrapping:

On your mark... get set:

Go!:

Oh this will be easy:

 -

10 in 4 minutes:

Let's just stand up to stretch a bit:

Uh oh... starting to go to half an egg at a time:

 -

18 eggs down... reality setting in:

 -

But... we look so appetizing:

 -

Oh good lord...

 -

Aaaaaaaaannnnddd... there goes the stomach:

 -


I will spare you the details of the next 10 minutes and just say when next we see Ex, he had consumed a mere 23 of the promised 50, but far fewer actually... um... remained consumed...

Portrait of a Broken Man:

 -


Yeah...

This was, to put it mildly... a "bad idea". The type of idea that the people who came up with "New Coke" might even raise an eyebrow at.

I'm totally happy that I was finally able to make good on that 15 year old bet. I mean... I "think" I'm happy... it might just be the sugar talking. [Smile]

But... next Easter... it's on! 2000 jellybeans in 30 minutes! Yeah, right.


Happy Easter, LW!


Daddy... are you sick? Can I have a piece of chocolate?:

Well, I just ate about fifty shrimp chips, but that's not really the same. Shrimp chips don't weigh anything, at least individually.

Yes. Sorry... just a joke. Folks, never give your dog chocolate.

...and that's one to grow on. [Smile]

Finally checked in to see how it went! Ex, I've got to say, I'm impressed that you tried! There's just no way it can be done.

Pretty awesome all around. Love that you have pics to give us the timeline on how it went.

Have you sworn off Creme Eggs forever?
