The Wendy's 99-Cent Chili Challenge
Michael considered fate at 12:31   |   Permalink   |   Post a Comment
For some time now I have offered up a standing challenge to my friend Matt. Since we've never really sat down and hammered out the rules, I'll jot them down here for all to see:

The Wendy's 99-Cent Chili Challenge

The rules are simple, the bowel movements, not so much:

1. You are allowed to eat Wendy's 99-Cent Chili and only Wendy's 99-Cent Chili for exactly 30 days, or the duration of one month's time (whichever comes first).

2. Wendy's 99-Cent Chili will from here on be referred to as 'Chili' and it will be understood that saltine crackers pro-offered by Wendy's as topping for said Chili falls within the nomination of 'Chili' for these purposes.

3. During the 30 days or one month period you are allowed to eat as much or as little chili as you want but you are limited to said chili and saltines, though saltines only count as 'Chili' when applied as topping, not when standing-alone.

4. Beverages allowed within the constraints of this contest will include water and, as yet to be decided, beer. We, the contest rule writers, understand that beer is part of a healthful diet and we do not desire to put the contestants at a significant health risk.

5. In a similar vein as rule #4, the rule committee is still considering multi-vitamin tablets as a valid consumption item for the same reasons as beer has been considered. However, the committee - after a thorough examination of the Chili (e.g. we had a cup) - feels that the Chili provides adequate nuritionment for a low to medium activity person since it provides vegetables, meat, and grain from the crackers. Therefore, at this time the committee sees it fit to offer beer and multi-vitamins as "options" to the contest, which, if choosen, will negatively effect the overall fiscal payout at the end of the contest.

6. All Chili consumed by the contestants will be paid for by the contest backers, though procurement of the Chili is left to the contestants themselves. In the event that the contestant wins the challenge, the contest backers forfeit all claims to the costs of the Chili. In the event that the contestant drops out or otherwise does not complete the contest, the contestant will be responsible for paying back to the contest backers a sum equal to that of half the amount of money paid for the Chili during said contest.

7. At this time the contest backers are looking for sponsors and are trying to increase the overall purse of the contest, but at the moment it stands at $300 (plus cost of Chili) in the case where beer and multi-vitamins are not allowed. All other situations are per negotiation.

8. Have fun, and dig in! This contest is meant to be fun and educational!
