That pizza is a joke. Anynody could eat it. Too bad it’s one of those challenges that won’t allow you to remain anonymous. It looks like your mug would end up everywhere, and the IFOCE would figure out pretty quickly you broke your contract.

Maybe. But some of those guys want pure amateurs. If he catches wind of your AICE experience, he might shut you down. And then you’re out your airfare without any recourse. You’re always better off sticking to the challenges you can get to easily. They aren’t worth separate trips. You risk too much by trusting people you don’t know, unless you don’t care about the expenses associated with it.

Can they legally hand out Joey and Koby face sticks without paying them? I don’t think so

30 minutes of salad eating, if you are sticking to your weight loss program

Most obese people also think they are dieting if they add a plate of salad to their buffet consumption. Most obese people are stupider than most thin people – look it up.
Most obese people think a Diet coke causes them to lose weight
Most obese people make lousy competitive eaters, however, they could out-eat most competitive eaters in a 24 hour eating marathon.
Most obese people stop running after the first 30 yards of a marathon, most thin people stop after 26 miles.
Most thin people run to a buffet, most obese people waddle to a buffet.

Pete, obviously the anonymous a-holes will make sure “he catches wind of your AICE experience” but you can still go. Put up a number. He might want the publicity (ie Sciullo and the burger) so there might be something in it for you…

Why would you go? So you can win a t-shirt and a pizza a month (they don’t deliver to Canada.) and then go back again later to finally try to win the money, which you’ll have to split two ways with your partner, who will also incur the cost of airfare?

Obviously the only way I would do something like that would be if I was in the area…

Buffet stuff, you forgot to mention that most obese people tend to announce to the world that they dropped a ton of weight but when you see them in person they dropped very little or possibly gained weight instead of losing

Lawyer stuff – I’m pretty sure it’s okay to use Joey and Koby’s face on a popsicle stick, as long as they’re not using their face along with a brand name and implying some sort of endorsement. It’d be like putting Adam Sandler or George Clooney’s face on a stick and waving it around. At least I’m assuming it’s legal…I’m not a lawyer!
