I first heard about this idea two years ago. The idea is to try and drink an entire gallon of milk within an hour’s time. Everyone I know who has tried has failed (that’s only a handful of people, though.) A couple of them used whole milk, and another set used lowfat chocolate milk. All of them said it was “cheating” to use skim milk. The ones who attempted the chocolate milk did so about a year ago during college spring break. I saw the pictures…I was sworn off of milk for a week, and I didn’t even drink any! Chocolate-milk sludge coming out of their mouths and noses at the 45 minute mark. Ack.
Has anyone here attempted this feat? Did you succeed? What kind of milk did you use? Did you ahve a stategy beforehand? I’m temped to try this someday, as I think I can do it (like eveyone else who tries.) I love milk, though, and already drink more than I probably should.
I’ve never heard of the milk challenge before, but I have wagered a few people that they couldn’t eat two slices of Wonder Bread in one minute and won every time.
The way I learned it, skim milk is not allowed. Of course, no one I know has ever been stupid enough to try it. Strange, since I know a lot of stupid people.
The Jackass challenge involved drinking egg nog. There was quite a bit of projectile vomiting from a fella in a snowman costume if I remember correctly. Disgusting but hilarious.
It was a running challenge at a buddy’s dorm floor. To my knowledge, 10 or 15 guys tried it. None succeeded. Most barfed. Those who didn’t barf stopped trying to drink the milk because they were about to barf.
It’s supposed to be physically impossible, since the human body can’t digest that much milk at once (though I’d love to hear of an instance where someone pulled it off). So the idea is to embarass the hell out of the guy/gal you challenge to do it, usually someone with a big ego who needs a’checkin’.
I’m trying to recall where I first read about it…Maxim magazine, maybe?
Two of my bro’s friends tried it. They got digital pics of the white wave. I’m sure these will one day resurface at each of the guy’s weddings.
I’ve heard of this, I’ve also never heard of anyone who could drink the whole gallon and not throw up, though the rules I’ve heard were: drink a gallon of milk in an hour and keep it down for at least 15 minutes after.
I was ALMOST able to eat six Saltine crackers in 60 seconds, I was chewing on the 5th after a minute. It was rough!
We had a thread on this some time back. IIRC, the upshot was that to have a chance of success, the competitor best pre-load with meds which will do 3 things:
inhibit stomach acid production (diminishing the curdling of milk)
I used to drink half a gallon of milk after football practice when I was a teenager, and sometimes I would drink my brother’s half gallon too (when he didn’t want it)…I don’t recall barfing at all…maybe being dehydrated helps, but I’m not sure…this was about 25-30 years ago, when I was an efficient eating machine.
I really would love to try this…except i am a bit lactose intolerant :eek:
Though I have eaten a whole 2 slice balogna/mayo/bit of lettuce on wonderbread sandwich in a minute…haven’t tried eating 6 saltines in a minute, but I do know I can drink a gallon of water in one hour.
<wanders off wondering if the runs are worth trying the gallon of milk thang…>
Back in high school, one of the delievery drivers (a really big guy) was was about to take this bet from another driver. I convinced him out of it, especially when he told me his strategy was to work out a whole bunch while drinking to make himself thirstier.
In hindsight, I should have let him go through with it.
Would it be “fair” to dump some Lactaid in the milk before attempting to drink it all?
Otherwise, loading up on meds as described by QtM seems like the way to go, foolish as it may be to screw around with your stomach just to drink a lot of milk.
I saw something on another message board ( blaspehmy…I know) about this sort of challenge. However, one was supposed to eat a spoonful of cinnamon and swallow it. I have never tried it but from what I have heard it seems quite painful.
