The Marshmallow Challenge.
Again unsurprisingly we were drinking, this time we had marshmallows, a challenge was born. The idea, to get as many marshmallows into your mouth as possible, then to eat them. Spitting any out after the final count is taken is a disqualification, use of fingers to stop them escaping is actively encouraged. The challenge sounds much easier than it is, marshmallow has a way of expanding in your mouth that makes the eating part very difficult and very messy.
Step one take a bag of marshmallows, step two get a foolish one to go first.
Chrisy managed to cram in nine marshmallows, but quite quickly realised this was a bad idea.
Still attempting to cram them back in, this picture was taken seconds before a rush to the toilet, where Chrisy found out that marshmallows do not flush.
I'm fairly sure that I went second, after Chrisy, the video of this is at the bottom. Here we see Mark whos attempt was truely feeble. About four or five marshmallows in, he dashed for the toilet, found Chrisys unflushables, and decided to slowly and shamefully munch through his lot.
A lot later in the night we noticed a very drunk Dave, I mean he looked sloshed, slaughtered, wasted, out of his head, off his tree, he also looked very open to suggestion, so.....
We decided to insert marshmallows, this lightened the mood.
There was only seven marshmallows left, Dave took them like a man and seemed happy.
This was followed by an extremely happy look, a smile forced upon Dave by the ever expanding marshmallows. Beyond that happy look is a desprate man, realising a great mistake has been made.
A drunken and confused Dave then proceded to prod them back in.
Followed by a session of wretching.
This anoyed him, he showed me how annoyed he was, note the marshmallow on the fingertip.
He then continued to wretch.
Pull faces.
And prod.
This lasted for about half an hour, Chrisy never tired of the show, Dave slowly began to accept his fate, as a marshmallow muncher for the rest of his life.
After this sort of time the mallow becomes goo.
And yet more prodding.
His hand becomes one with the mallow. Look at how in his drunkeness Dave never thinks to let go of the empty marshmallow bag.
Dave almost explodes with excitement over the progress he has made, he finally closes his mouth without spraying, but finds that swallowing is not an option.
Dave reveals how he cunningly distribluted a large portion of the mallow onto his fingers.
Thats right Dave, take it like a man, take it like a man, take it like a MAN.
Oh and what is that sticking out the side?
