The Dollar Menu Dare!
- Thread starter muskymojo
- Start date
Agree, McDonalds burgers are pretty small.
I thought the Subway idea was the best to spread the powder out over a nice size 6" sandwich Just have them order a ham and turkey with lettuce and lots of mayo to hold the powder.
Yeah - seconded. Oh, wait - I suggested it.
I also like the idea of 1 bite a minute. That paces it, and gives contestants the opportunity to bow out. 6" sub, figure about 18-20 bites...over a 20 minute period, that'd be a lot of time to heat up. Some folks might drop and not finish.
Then a 5 min vid at the end to see the reaction, and if it's a tie (however many) put it up to vote for who handled their shiz better. If someone cries like a little girl with a skinned knee while someone else powers through like a trooper, the community can easily decide.
That's be my suggestion - however it's done, it's gonna be E-P-I-C
True Jeff. Subway is also good. do you all have one by you?
i just attempted it with 2G powder... no way in hell can i do this dare so i must leave it to the big boys
Okay.. So I bought a McDouble, and see a McProblem. Only because of the amount of space vs. the amount of powder. Here's a pic of just under a half ounce of powder next to the burger (Those bags are really close to 7 grams a piece, the yellow one is a little light, because it goes good on eggs in the morning. But if the bag was full it would be a full quarter)
The problem is sheer volume. I dumped a couple of grams of Blair's Death Rain powder on it just to see how it would be. I needed to use both sides of the bun, and it was still dropping off the dry part of the patties when I picked it up to eat it. Also, even though I let it sit for a little bit I still inhaled a touch of dry powder. I would have done a test run and used the two bags you see in the pic, but those are all I have left of the good stuff, and I would have wasted a bunch of it. I was a little reluctant to do that for obvious reasons.
So as I said before I think the best way to handle this is to let us stir it into the condiment of our choice. Whether that be ketchup, or mayo, or mustard. That would stick, and as I think it was Musky who mentioned earlier, the double burger even though it is small, would let us use multiple layers so it wouldn't squeeze out as easy.
Now some McFacts. In a normal pace of bites and chews, it took me 9 bites and just under 3 minutes to get through the McDouble. I think just eating the burger in a somewhat normal fashion will be more than adequate. The heat alone will cause any bite after the first one to be a tad more deliberate than normal. The key is whatever time you guys want to set up as the inglorious "afterburn" should any of us manage to get that far.
I'm game for whatever burger everyone decides on. The diminutive size of the McDouble would be a challenge, but that's the point anyway. I don't think this will rank as one of the better meals I've ever had, and will put the legendary Four Horseman burger to shame. Not to mention it will be the closest thing I've ever done to having a shot at keeping up with Johnny Knoxville. I've never considered that as a lofty ambition, but hey... Anything in the name of science and spice

you need to stop that bro, trolling and stuff.
Yeah - that's probably the best way. I still don't think the mcdouble has enough real estate.
Here's a thought - it's .99 for a mcdouble w/cheese, so just do two, order them dry. Allow each contestant to mix powers in whatever condiment they choose of the standard "ketchup/mustard/mayo". I suggest this as everyone has different tastes and I don't see an advantage of using any (though Mayo is fatty, which could help or hurt since capsaicin is oil soluble ) - don't think it's really fair to say, force someone who hates Mayo to mix up their power in mayo and eat something they hate. This'll be hard enough. Combos are ok too - hell, use all 3 condiments mixed with powder. It's immaterial to the contest really.
So yeah - 2 McDoubles w/cheese. Easy solution. Approximately 6 mins of entertainment watching y'all eat them, then 5 mins of afterburn for our amusement.
Perfect
God that is gonna be brutal. I'm upping my contribution to the prize pool to 2 x 3-packs of Lucky Dog Hot Sauce, 2 bottles of each. I figure I need to go big on the prize if y'all are going big on the qty.
Let's try to get a couple more hot heads to compete - seems like we'd need 3 or more willing victims.
Good luck gents - I applaud your foolishness.

Foolishness... that's what this is...
Dumb as a box of rocks.
Holy crap there has been a lot of movement on this thread since I last checked!
I like the whole condiment mixing, 2 McDouble idea that is going around. I mean heck, I don't think it matters what the sandwich is, most foods are just a method of effectively ingesting peppers in my book anyway.
I am still waiting on prize ideas, I am thinking a 1 oz bag of my Triple Threat and (2) 1 oz bags of the winners choice if that is cool with all of the contestants.
This literally made me just spit a pizza roll across the room! After two nights of drinking Blue Moons at my local pub, I must have finally got on Scovie's level, cause that shit actually made sense for once, and it was FUNNY! My wife now thinks I spend too much time here, because I couldn't explain why I was in tears, I just had to tell her it was an "inside joke" and leave it at that!

I got dibs on that pizza roll...
I use to think the same damn thing Habbyheat was ALWAYS on here laughing and making funny faces. Then one day he said why don't you open an account........... Well he has been a member 8 months longer then me but I almost have 1000 more posts then him. I love this place. Good break from the craziness life brings.
I am on pins and needles waiting for the vids of this!!!!!!!!!!
SD..... eeewwwwwwyyyyyy!!!!!!!
10 second rule
I think it'd be funny if they threw it in a pack of ramen soup... It's how I test new breeds that I've never tried to gauge their heat level.
