Olympian Achievement

mrbigbluelight

No, not "Olympic" achievement ..... I don't want to get sued by the IOC, so I'm calling it an "Olympian" achievent, worthy of Zeus himself.

A gallon of milk in one hour.

Don't ask why, but to settle an argument 2 gallons of milk were drunk in one hour; one with Ovaltine, one without Ovaltine (the "official" rules aren't entirely clear). My oldest son got the Ovaltine, I went naked.

It ain't easy.

Sure the first 2 quarts went down with no problem (about 12 minutes), the
3d quart by 22 minutes, but the last quart ...... whew !

It would have been easier if we hadn't stuffed ourselves earlier at a BBQ, but
I do have to admit, it ain't as easy as you would think.

So, even though we're still out of the house (about another 2 weeks), the field of scientific investigation is still advancing.

I wonder if there's any kind of challenges for smoked oysters ?

About 5 years ago when I still lived in Corpus, the local rock radio station had a contest for tickets to the first person who could down a gallon of milk and not throw up/piss.

I hate milk, so I wouldn't even begin to try.

Pretty impressive feat - nearly everyone who tries to drink a gallon of milk in an hour will vomit.

You guys should make it official

Being lactose intolerant, this thread makes me feel ill.

Onlookers at the 6th Annual Gallon Challenge watch as Joseph Ubriaco takes his last sips to complete the challenge for the win on August 12, 2006The gallon challenge is a physical challenge in which a person attempts to drink a gallon of milk within one hour without vomiting. There are many variations to the challenge, so formal rules have not been set. However, many groups including the Gallon Challenge Foundation play with the following set of rules:

The entire gallon must be consumed within the course of one hour.
If one vomits, one is disqualified.
Whole milk is typically used; however, chocolate milk is eligible, provided that chocolate syrup (or an equivalent) is added to the gallon of whole milk.
On August 12, 2006, at the 6th Annual Gallon Challenge in front of a crowd of about 40 people including local press, Joseph Ubriaco and Raymond Donnelly and Joseph Herbert completed the gallon challenge successfully. The current gallon challenge world record is 41.32 seconds, held by James Pattani, from Austin, Texas .

Wow, that's pretty impressive. I've always been tempted to try it, since I don't really see how it would be so hard...and I love milk.

Would be interesting to see how it turns out.

Cow's milk is for baby cows. So if you really wanna drink a gallon of milk the way nature intended, suck on a bovine's teat for an hour.

This started out with my son-in-law's sister making a comment about milk (there wasn't any more soda in their fridge) and how she can't drink milk (lacatose intolerant). We mentioned how we love milk, she wound up talking about the "gallon in an hour" thing, and ..... it was off to the races.

Okay, we're morons.

About 10 minutes into drinking, my SIL said, "You know, we should have got the camera out". Next time we will, because the next time will probably be the last time, but with a little more prep.

One things for sure: I won't eat 15 pinwheel party things, 12 chicken wings, 4 some-kind-of-sub things, a 1/3 of a bag of Ruffles chips (with French onion dip) and other assorted snacks before trying.

There are a lot of different rules out there.
After I had put some Ovaltine in one gallon of milk (love Ovaltine), my youngest son googled a site that said you couldn't put any chocolate or flavoring in the milk.
That's why I switched to the straight milk, and my oldest son went with the Ovaltine milk. My daughter only had 2 gallons in the house, so he went with the Ovaltine.

Good point, Early B.

As you can imagine, this sort of competition does (or should) require some serious preparation.
So I was thinking that maybe ..... uhm ..... you know, volunteerism is a great thing, and ..... credit would be given on the website that we'll post the video on ..... something to think about, we think.
