I was unaware of the fact that such a thing existed, but apparently it’s considered impressive if one can eat 6 Saltine crackers in one minute without drinking any fluids. Teddy and Matt told me about this today at lunch, and I’m always up for a challenge…

The challenge is discussed various places on the web, like here, but in summary, I think the conclusion we can draw is that Saltines are really dry.

Teddy claims that the correct strategy is to eat one at a time, and that sort of makes sense if you want to maximize surface area contact between Saltine and salivation. Perhaps next time I try the challenge I will try it that way.

Alas, by the end of 60 seconds, I was chewing my 5th saltine, so I did indeed fail the challenge. I feel like I lost a few seconds here and there by sitting there and laughing at Matt and Teddy who were laughing at me trying to eat Saltines. Thanks to Matt, for filming it with his cell phone, which you can see here.

Next time I think someone should participate in the challenge with me, though. Contest, anyone?
