Lately, I’ve been blogging a little too much about WordPress and all kinds of mumbo-jumbo for the Internet junkies. Today, however, I’m going to share with you a little movie. Yes, a movie! Last Monday, I was put to the “Milk Challenge.” Little did I know, when I decided to take this challenge, that it was physically impossible.
It started as a friendly conversation last Monday over some mondu (beef-wrapped dumplings, my favorite food in Korea). One of my coworkers and I got into a conversation about drinking a gallon of milk in 15 minutes. I said, “I can do it.” I’m not sure what was going through my head at that moment and what the other details of that conversation were, but I know I said I could do it.
Fast forward a few minutes. My coworker and another left the restaurant before I did to get back to the office, and when I got back, there was already a pool going on whether I could actually do it. I had few supporters (mostly people encouraging me enough to do it and see me vomit).
The challenge:
- Drink a gallon of milk.
- You have 15 minutes.
- You cannot vomit.
- The milk is provided.
- $5 payout if you finish.
Worst idea of all ideas ever. Here is the result of my little challenge. I made it through 2.5 liters of milk, which isn’t too bad. (Warning! Do not watch if you have a weak stomach.)
Yes, that was nearly 2.5 liters of milk coming back out of me at once. And, let me tell you, that wasn’t the worst of it. Drinking that much milk is not natural. It does horrors to your bowel movements. I have never heard my stomach make some of the noises it made last week. At least my coworker gave me $5 for effort.
As a side note: the “real” milk challenge is supposed to be done in an hour. I didn’t find out that little piece of information until a little later in the day, after I’d already signed myself up to vomit my milk.
I have never heard about this. I was ready to watch it, with my fingers positioned a certain way over my eyes, just in case, but for some reason, the video isn’t coming through.
( I’m not a milk drinker. The thought of drinking a whole gallon makes me want to puke. LOL! I guess you won’t be trying that again. LOL!
Hmmm… I don’t know why you can’t see the video. Maybe some flash thing isn’t installed on your browser. Not sure.
I’m definitely not going to try again though.
hey, it is 1 gallon of Whole Milk in 1 hour and you must not vomit for 3 hours… there is a group that actually does this every year in U.S. and nobody has ever been able to do it because it is impossible to do. Your stomach can not hold 1 gallon of milk and you cant digest it fast enough so therefore you can not do it.
It’s not impossible, I’ve done it, but I did get the runs.
Bob has it right, it is also that the human body is naturally allergic to lactose and whole milk has a higher fat content. The whole three hour thing at the end might just be a house rule type thing. He is also wrong about no one doing it, my mom is a fire fighter and has seen one Irish guy do it. He was accustomed to drinking really heavy buttermilk or something like that, so the whole milk was nothing. To the average person it is impossible, I helped a friend drink the gallon we both got sick at half a gallon.
We did it Saturday. The only person to complete it had to use the bathroom about 10 times after, but he managed to keep it down. It is possible
I believe it is possible because, when I was in high school, I ate an entire box of Frosted Mini Wheats and one gallon of 2% milk as my after-school snack only to eat dinner a few hours later with my family. In college, I remember drinking a half gallon of 2% milk in about 5 minutes just because I was thirsty. I’m 6’4″ and 185 lbs and used to eat about 6000 calories per day. I played volleyball and basketball at least 5 hours per day so the energy had to come from somewhere. I used to eat cereal from a bucket which was originally the container for the Halloween kids meal at Carl’s Jr. The bucket held the burger, fries, and a prize and was meant to be used by kids to collect candy on Halloween night. My mini-fridge in my dorm room was just big enough to hold 4 gallons of milk which is the only reason I did not need to go to the store every other day for more milk.
chuck norris could do it
i like how you did this, i made it to the last 250ml of a 3 litre milk carton, but we were doing something difrernt, me n my mates were doing i thing we call white fear, where you have 2 drink 5 litres of milk haha, throwing up included haha, but i skulled the milk in 10 mins 5 mins later i drank some more to try n finish the carton n bam i threw up a motherload haha
