A Question of Perspective

The Saltine Challenge

As you may know, a while back, we tried The Saltine Challenge at Embolden in staff meeting, and had one victor.

The poor fellow tore up his mouth though. The things people will do for a “FTW” mug.

This blog gets a lot of traffic for folks looking for:

  • The Saltine Challenge
  • Saltine Challenge Rules
  • How to do The Saltine Challenge

So, for those of you who are new around here and want a fun little party trick, here you go… again.

The Saltine Challenge Rules

FTW Mug(As I see them anyway…)

  1. You have to completely ingest all 6 Saltines in 60 seconds.
  2. You can stuff as many of them in your mouth at a time as you want.
  3. You must eat them fresh.  Not soggy or stale or wet.
  4. You can not ingest anything else while you are participating in the challenge.
  5. You have to time it.  No guessing about the 60 seconds.
  6. Your mouth has to be completely empty at the end of the 60 seconds.

I’ve tried it, several times… though the first time is always the most memorable.

I do want to know though… can you do it? Internet rumor has 1 in 10 people capable of this feat (which I think is horse shit, I’ve only ever seen one person do it in real life)… are you one of them?

  • Report back on your results... please!

    I did the challenge. 6 saltines in 51.91 seconds! - is my best so far, im still trying to beat that haha
  • I already have a WTF?! mug, so I don't think I would tear up my mouth for one of its compatriots. I am, however, super competitive. So now I need to know if I am one of that 1 in 10. :p
