the great cracker challenge

Monday, January 21, 2013

on saturday evening, it was a little known fact that it is not humanly possible to eat six saltine crackers in one minute. and by little known fact, i mean, only the pregnant women knew this fact. my husband, the ever suspicious, "is my wife telling me the truth, or just asserting with bravado," did not believe it and so, as we like to say in our house, "challenge accepted."  here is my husband's cracker challenge in a series of images. ***spoiler alert*** the pregnant lady was correct (as usual). just so you know, and much to my chagrin, we did not get a photo of him "saliva prepping" his mouth - gargling and swishing ice water around so as to make sure his mouth was at the optimum saltine-moistening start position.

the cheerful and self-assured soon-to-be, first-ever, saltine cracker eating champion



laughing is not conducive to the cracker challenge



with just under thirty seconds to go, and still three saltines on his plate (note he has not swallowed the other three saltines yet - he was still chewing and trying to moisten them enough so as not to cut up his throat)



five-four-three-two-one: gracie is vindicated



and because i know most of you just do not quite believe this to be impossible, go ahead, take the cracker challenge and send me your victory pictures!
