So, we are sitting with friends we haven’t seen in a while and after a few drinks, she says, ‘you can’t eat an entire salada biscuit in under a minute’. The rules are that you must chew and swallow the entire salada biscuit without drinking anything, you can break it into the four squares, or crumble it further, but it must be gone in under a minute. Weird? Yes, and is it possible, (because when something like that is said, well, you just have to try it)? No. You can’t do it.
The next time your drunk flatmate is pissing you off, or someone is getting hairy chested about how good they are, just throw it out there, and stand back, because you will be showered with spitty bits of biscuit. Actually put money on it because unless you are a super salivator (is this even a word), I don’t believe it can be done. I dunno … maybe it’s an Australian thing, like pushing straws through a potato …
A good bet (typically at a bar) is to burn a hole, using a cigarette, in a $20 bill. The bill is wrapped around the person’s forearm, and they are given 5 minutes to burn a complete hole using only a lit cigarette.
With no 02 under the bill, the heat is absorbed by the flesh beneath it. I have seen people refuse to give up, screaming in pain, as they try to win the bet.
I’ve heard a variation of this in the states, where the goal is six saltine crackers in a minute with no water or other liquids allowed. Very hard. On par with the gallon milk challenge (which is to drink a gallon of milk in one hour…MUCH harder than it sounds.)
When I was about twenty, I used to drink a lot of water; I’d routinely drink a quart without taking a breath. Once, my girlfriend saw me do it, and convinced me to do it again so her roommates could watch. I succeeded, but had to go throw up afterward.
I had a pack in my desk - Christie Premium Plus salted top. Here they measure about 1.75" square. I ate one in 30 seconds without even much difficulty.
From here, and based on the OP, it sounds like they are designed such that they can be broken into halves or quarters as desired. Perhaps one whole Salada is like four Premium Plus in a big square? Can you see if you can do four?
