Day 1 – January 1st 2009

Day 1

The Challenge – eat a big mac in just four bites – yes, four-freaking-bites.
Challenger: @raxlakhani

Two things you should know:
1) I’ve never eaten a Big Mac.
2) It was New Year’s Day.

However, seeing as it was the only thing I’d been challenged to, I had to go with it.

The mc shack, as I like to call it, is a 1 mile trek down the road – and so I grabbed my flatmate to witness the momentous occasion (she reluctantly came along on the promise of a free fillet of fish meal) and set off.

As the golden arches drew nearer and shone bright into my hungover eyes, I’m not gonna lie to you, I felt nervous. There was some big beef and bun action about to come my way.

I ordered it (no chips thanks, mister) and I sat. I took my coat off – and cardigan (in preparation – like when a boxer takes off his dressing gown). This is how it went:

Bite 1: This was lame (think the kind of bite a cat might take). My first impression of the big mac? da da da da daaaa – Not Lovin It

Bite 2: Time to step up my game and employ a new technique – it went like this: bite and then shove more in. It worked, but caused slight asphyxiation. People were starting to stare.

Bite 3: As above but with more force. What was left after this bite was about a third – it was falling apart (literally) – but I held it together.

Bite 4: I was determined not to fail – and so like a proper champ – I went for it. Result? Major asphyxiation and special sauce on my t-shirt BUT also much happiness. I had just eaten a big mac in four f-ing bites. That’s got to be some kind of world record?! I bet even a seasoned fast food pro couldn’t top that.

Krystal Sqaure Off – I’m coming atcha.

1 down, 364 to go.
Until tomorrow….
