A group of 4 friends sitting together on a lazy Sunday afternnon. Each boasting about his capacity to eat more than the others. They order a 100 of the local variety of sweets and then starts the competition, stuffing it down the throat without drinking anything. I would normally never be able to eat more than 3 of them, and here were these guys who finished the 100 between them . End result , the next couple of days, all of them were down with upset stomachs.
Me. I was the referee...
Another day, it was a swimming competetion to see who could do the most number of laps.
And what was the wager involved ?..A few beers. But what was that compared to the ego boost they got.
Have you ever tried to do something like stuffing yourself, drowning yourself in beer, or any other such things amongst friends with the intention of having fun and proving a point ?

I was ALWAYS trying to one-up friends when I was younger and they were alsways trying to do the same with me too! It's just in the nature of teenage boys I think and many people seem to carry it on into adulthood too. Thankfully I'm not quite so competitive like this anymore, not with others anyway, but moreso with myself. I remember spending a day at the beach and then being challenged on how many pizza's I could eat. Myself and 2 friends stacked them on up and just kept going and going..... I personally managed to eat 3 and a half whole pizza's before bringing the whole lot up in a nearby park bin. What blew me away though was that one of my friends went on to eat 6! It was all harmless bravado at the time and we'd always challenge each other at something. If it wasn't food it was getting dumped by the biggest wave, or jumping our bikes off the biggest ramp and things like that. Then I grew up and common sense kicked in!

It's fantastic fun! It can take some time to get the hang of it, but once you're there..... If you ever do come to visit me in Australia, I promise I'll take you! (And I used to be a Surf Lifesaver too, so there'll be no need to be scared at all about it either)

alokn99,
Back in my school days, I am an avid competitive swimmer and waterpolo player. My classmates and I were all in the school team, and as the training is really demanding we have a ferocious appetite. So, we would have to eat quite a huge amount of food to replenish our tough training exertions and as our school canteen does not serve dinner being that it is a day school we will have to have our meals outside.
So, at the food street a meal for us will be eating from the start of the street to the end. One of the stall owners who sold barbecued shish kabab was just puzzled just how big our appetite was, so he invited us over to his stall for dinner and asked us to eat all we can for the day and that it will be on the house. So, the 4 of us sat down and wolfed down all his 800 sticks of mutton, chicken and pork in his stall that night. A lot of bystanders thought it was a stunt, unbeknown to them that was our normal dinner. At the end of that, we each had 2 mugs banana and papaya milkshakes each.
On my part it was never a stunt or a point to proof except an invitation to a free and sumptuous dinner.
Have a nice day.

Aha Skysuccess, you were trying to prove something to the stall owner now about your appetite. 800 sticks of the kebabs. Normal dinner..
I love kebabs and i certainly hope you enjoyed them. The stall owner must be shutting down the moment he sees you.
Thanks. Appreciate it

alokn99,
I think it was the other way round as it had been our usual selves eating large amount of food after our strenuous trainings. The stall holder just wanted to see what that was to his equivalent from his stall.
I would not say that it is for show as to prove a point if you know what I mean on the literal sense. Besides there were 4 of us at that time so we are averaging 200 sticks each.
Cheers.

Hi there friend. I have not participated in any of this kind of events, not even of a referee, and, although i have not been presented the opportunity to do so, i doubt that i will ever take a change and get involved in silly competitions like those that can get you hurt.

I have once, drowning myself with water, lol. We have some boring days back home and we like to play cards (family) and who ever lose the game have to drink a glass of water and I was the youngest and ended losing a few times, lol. And after a few glass of water I gave up in the end, lol. Apart from this I can't think of anything.

It sounds very bizzare and crazy to me that for few bottle or cans or bears, people can go for such strange competitions. Consuming sweats full of sugar and fats is difficult job and once you consume it, it is going to affect your stomach. I won't every participate in any such comptetion.

I think they endanger their health with their inflated ego.
