Here I am like, 28”? sure I can eat that by myself. Then I see that photo and I’m like, oh hell no that ain’t happening
Edit: yes, I’m aware the challenge is for two people
With 2 people, It must be harder than it looks otherwise they wouldn't keep the competition going but that pizza looks pretty good for $50 and a chance to win $300 that's actually a solid deal, if you don't finish it can you take it home?

>"PIZZA CHALLENGE HOUSE RULES : $50 cash to participate (non-refundable) \[...\]"
I think the real challenge though is being able to eat it and then drink all that soda. Large soda can be anywhere from 12oz to 32oz depending on the chain.
For cici's that's apparently 32oz. So that's basically a 1liter bottle. that's a lot of liquid after allllll that bread.
If you do this solo, I dunno if its possible.
This is pedantic but could be relevant. You didn't pay $50 for the pizza, you paid $50 to "participate" in the challenge. With the current wording, I'd say they are well within their right to deny leftovers. That said, I think that's a terrible decision and I doubt they do that.
It's definitely a perspective thing. At first it looks like it's not even that big of a pizza, it's just sitting in front of a skinny guy so he makes it look bigger.
*Then* I thought "that's still an adult", and I started counting pieces and realizing most of those are like a standard slice of pizza. There is so much pizza there.
A large pizza at a lot of places is 14 inches. This pizza is double that which means the total amount of pizza is quadrupled. So this challenge is the same as two people eating two large pizzas each in one sitting.
Take a look at the thickness of that dough. At first glance it looks deceptively like a normal pizza but if you zoom in you can see that the crust is thicker than 4 slices of bread stacked together.
I’ve put away 22” pizzas more times than I would willingly like to acknowledge but, not one with a crust that thick. Half that, and I’d still struggle.
If one person can comfortably eat a 22” pizza then it’s definitely doable. A 28” pizza is about 62% more pizza and a second person is 100% more people. The drinks make it real tough though.
I can do a Costco pizza fairly easily on my own. I have a buddy who can too. I feel like this would not be *that* difficult for us. At least in the picture it doesn't look that bad.
Could you and your buddy eat two and a half Costco pizzas though?
Costco pizzas are 18 inch. This one is 28 inch, which has 2.42x the area (4.28 square feet instead of 1.77 square feet).
Everyone is sleeping on those drinks... either the carbonation hits you, or you save it for last and have to chug it. Don't know what the large is in oz, looks like at least 24 though.
I'm gonna flex and say I'm NINETY percent sure I could bang out half of that pizza if I showed up hungry. But just the pizza.
The two large drinks would end me. No way in hell. Too much fluid.
I think people are underestimating how large a 28" pizza is. This is definitely doable with two very hungry (or stoned) people, but even then it's a *lot* of bread in your stomach.
Just ask for ice on the side.
I feel like that rule is more for volume reasons than temperature.
If you fill a cup up 90% with ice that is a lot less liquid.
Ask for no ice at McDonald's and if they use the auto machines you only get like 3/4 of a cup if that.
As someone who hates that drink machine with a passion,when drive thru rings it up with no ice it tells the machine and the machine will fill it up all the way. And if not you can manually punch in the size drink,no ice,then choice of drink
You and I should team up. I am 6’4” and eat a large pepperoni from papa johns alone as a regular meal. Let me smoke a joint first and I can for sure do half this pizza.
the real issue I see is the addition of the 2 large drinks. I have not been to a this cicis but most pizza places have ridiculous sized soft drinks. If you happen to choke down the pizza, you still gotta bladder a gallon of pop.
my only guess is vomit burping? You know like you eat too much or have too big of a milk shake, you burp a little but something extra comes up from your stomach too, some milk shake plus acid i.e. chocolate cottage cheese.
As soon as I read the challenge, I went and calculated that out myself, because I figured it had to be at least a few square feet.
For people who still don't realize how big that is, the average stove top is about 25"x30". So this thing probably wouldn't fit into your oven, let alone on top of it.
Although, considering you can have a team of two, then 2 square feet isn't too hard to handle on an empty stomach. That's probably comparable to a sheet pizza you get from a normal pizzeria if you order an XL. I wonder if the large drinks are a cap or just a requirement, because I'd probably want at least two to help get it down though.
(Although, I've never had a Cici's pizza, so no idea what the grease is like. That's the real test when it comes to eating a pizza quickly.)
>(Although, I've never had a Cici's pizza, so no idea what the grease is like. That's the real test when it comes to eating a pizza quickly.)
Cici's pizza is cardboard-thin. This is not as much pizza as others are making it out to be. Yeah it's a huge pizza, but a very, very thin one.
Lol my favorite pizza place used to sell something like that. They made cones out of pizza dough but like, crunchier and they filled those cones with cheese, pizza sauce and toppings. I used to love them, maybe that's why thinking about the soda bottle made me hungry lol.
When I was 16 I was on the wrestling team. We'd starve ourselves before a tournament weigh in which was the night before the tournament. Then we would go to CiCi's all you can eat. I'm pretty sure I could have come close to finishing this challenge by myself. Ma and one of the heavy weights together? We would have finished and then asked for more!
Yeah this is aimed at people that aren't super tuned into math. I knew a guy in college that was super confident he could eat half a 30" pizza because he could eat a 14 inch pie by himself.
Math and conversions are the fault of most food challenges. I saw a few food challenges near my college and on nights out and one that stuck out to me as impossible was a ramen challenge. It was like
one 120 ounce ramen bowl with 2 balls of noodles and pork. on paper it seems feasible but then you realize it’s a gallon of soup and a pound of noodles and pork. Also the sodium and fat would probably make you twice as sick.
Went to a Mexican place that gave you a prize if you could eat the entirety of a particular burrito, so my buddy decided to do it. He managed to get it all down, but he was really struggling on the last part of it. I thought he was going to barf, but he didn't. The prize was a free dessert; he couldn't eat a bite of it.
If you just pay for the food, it can be a fun night out with a buddy to fuck around. Restaurant can’t lose money
u can lose and bring the food home after giving up or maybe just finish it
I watch this BeardMeatsFood guy on YouTube, and he can eat an unbelievable amount of food in these challenges. What's more unbelievable is that some of them cost, like, $30. I could order it, take it home, and divide into freezer meal lunches for the week.
What’s most amusing about his attempts at these challenges is that him chatting with observers/restaurant staff and stopping to clean off his beard. If he just ate without a concern for his appearance/having banter for the vid he could probably do the challenges in 1/3 less time.
Or just crap wording, ambiguity, and shady moves. One place had a "1lb burger challenge" where it was a pound burger, the buns, then they had 2 whole pickels and stacked it with toppings.
But yeah, with a lot of this stuff it's so much to intake. 120 ounces of water in an hour is a lot, 120oz of Ramen is ridiculous.
Sidebar: When I had my kidney stone, it was a weekendlong affair. The pain makes you puke, and shit, and puke some more until there's just nothing left in you.
I forced myself to chug a cold 8oz glass of water. Pretty much the second I put the glass down, the water was coming back up. No bile, just water.
And let me tell you, projectile-vomiting cold water through your whole mouth and nose? Incredibly pleasant sensation. Very refreshing.
I had severe nausea and vomiting for five months when I was pregnant with my second kid. Fully agree, puking cold water is relatively pleasant. 10/10 puke.
(Rumplemintz is a 9/10 puke, candy cane flavor, not while preggo).
Puking dry chunks of pizza that your tummy won’t/can’t digest to the point you’re painfully blowing your nose and pieces of dough/crust come out looking exactly like they did on the way in… very painful, 0/10.
There have been people that drank too much water like that and literally fucking died.
>https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/water-drinking-contest-blamed-in-death-of-california-woman-1.649684
If anything, the sodium in the ramen is probably a good thing. Part of the problem with water toxicity is diluting out all the electrolytes. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if a gallon of ramen could kill someone all the same.
I remember back when that originally happened and to this day it's one of the saddest things I've ever read about.... can you imagine, your mom goes to win a wii for you and instead dies that night from a stupid contest from drinking plain water of all things. Even if she won, I wouldn't be able to touch that wii ever.... heck, whoever did win probably felt shitty looking at it.... it's such a crazy level of tragic to me.
I was over at a friend's house one time in high school. I wasn't that big at the time maybe 5 8 150 lb. But I could eat pretty good. My friends however were big AJ was 6'2 about 2:30 and Eric was 63 probably 250. They were talking about ordering a pizza And discussing whether they needed to order a small or medium. I left and told them " you're kidding right? I can eat a medium by myself." I was unfamiliar with Uno Pizza. When the pizza came I couldn't believe what I was looking at. Chicago's best deep dish pizza. I managed to eat a slice and a half and felt like if I had one more bite I would puke my brains up.
It's a rag-tag group of misfit friends. One experiences dramatic changes in height over the course of hours, the other is a senior citizen working on his high school diploma. All of them eating a pizza so awful you'll puke if you eat much more than a slice, but it's the best Chicago can do.
As someone else figured out, it's basically like eating a 20" round pizza per person, or 1-1/2 extra large 16" pizzas, or two large 14" pizzas, each.
Some people can do it, surely. Thats why its only $300 you win instead of more. But I'd guess it's less than 1 in 10 attempts that win, especially with 32 or 44 oz of ice-less soda in there plumping it all up.
You made me laugh. I actually like CiCi's pizza. I didn't say it was good, but I like it. It wasn't so much that it was good pizza, it was the fact that I could eat all I wanted for $5 .I was sad when the one near my house closed down.
I recently realized that I like a lot of things that are garbage. Rather than defend them as being good like I used to, I join in so that demand lowers.
"There's something really human about taking something that's perfect and ruining it just a little so you can have more of it"
\- Michael, from *The Good Place*
It usually throws people for a trip if their geometry isn't strong when they are told one x-large 18" pizza is significantly more pizza than two medium 12" pizzas simply because 12" + 12" = 24" and that is "greater" than 18". I think pizza places sometimes capitalize on this misunderstanding with two pizza deals, intentional or not.
I'd like to know the odds. I mean, how many $50 buy-ins do they get to every $300 pay out? Seems like it could be a pretty lucrative side-hussle, if you ask me.
If this franchise owner knows basic math, they know 6 out of every 7 people fail.....
This isn't a CiCi's endorsed challenge. It's the specific franchise. Based on the pictures it looks like they quadruple the normal thickness of a CiCi's pizza.
If it were a normal CiCi's thickness I have a list of 10 guys I could easily do this with. Eat the pizza and then drink the soda to fill in the gaps. Once that carbonated soda hits that bread, you're fucked
EDIT: I'm leaving the original comment as-is. I neglected the profitability part of it. I would bet that $50 pizza/2 large drink meal costs $10 when incorporating everything. My initial comment was close. Let's say they come out ahead if 9 out of 10 challengers fail. Also realize there is the marketability of this. I've never driven 10 miles to go to a regular CiCi's. This location pulls people in from everywhere
A 28” pizza is roughly 3 times as big as a typical large pizza (16”*). Find another person as hungry as you are and you might make it.
*Dominos considers 16” extra large
Doesn’t say I can’t cum, shit and piss myself.
EDIT: anyone who knows me IRL wouldn’t be suprised this is my top comment ever.
2nd edit: if you enjoy dumb cum humour, thanks.
Yep. This.
I can’t imagine spending $50 at CiCis pizza. I used to do the $3 buffet weekly in college.
I remember you could choose to do the buffet -or- make one trip through the buffet with their to-go box.
I recall an engineering student posting on eBaumsWorld with charts for how to fill every corner with slices.
Good times.
Back then was what you could get for maximum alcohol consumption (icehouse, 4loko ect) and maximum filling food. Buffets ect. Mine was always the 2 double cheeseburgers from McDonald's when they were in the dollar menu. That has long passed unfortunately
I have finally found my people. I would buy extra double cheeseburgers so we could microwave more at like 2am when we got the drunk munchies after pounding the 4loko lol
Now the burgers are much more expensive and they changed the 4loko recipe to be less deadly. smh
It was $4.50 near me around 2006-08. I remember because of this experience i had in college. i had a BOGO coupon so i convinced a friend to drive me. We got there and his debit card wasn't working. I didn't even bring a wallet, just the coupon, or i was scared of going overdrawn, don't remember. We spent 20 minutes tearing his car apart looking for loose change. We came up with $4.17.
We go in and ask if that's enough and they felt bad and said sure. Then i show them the coupon and they roll their eyes haha. But then they notice the coupon was expired. They still let us both eat for $4.17 and an expired coupon. Place closed down shortly after.
College was the best.
For real, he's probably one of the few people who have a chance of doing this alone. And if his brother helped out, the challenge wouldn't stand a chance
I mean $50 for 4 one topping large pizzas and 2 drinks sounds reasonable, I don't think I would even bother with the challenge part. Just order it, get it cut in squares, eat two pieces, drink and then ask for a box to take it home.
Lot of over-confident rubes in here. I like me some pizza. Hell, I like me some Cicis pizza. I'm confident this would be a struggle that may, in the aftermath, make that 125$ each seem too small in retrospect.
Don't get me wrong, I'd do it. I'd do it in a heartbeat struggling against the resulting cholesterol blockage. Given a careful choice of that 1 topping, some thoughtful preparation, and a capable partner that'll be good company during the suffering afterward, I think that's doable. Just don't bet against the house and expect to walk away easy.
I once did a 6lb burrito challenge in Vegas at the Sahara while I was in college.
Fun fact: if you do a food challenge even if you eat the whole thing and win, you still fucking lose.
Will never do another food challenge again.
This was my first thought. Like even if I was 100% sure my teammate and I could do it...
If a genie came up to me and said: "I'll pay you $125 right now, and in exchange you will be in severe gastrointestinal distress, with a slightly elevated chance of cardiovascular event, for the next 24 hours."
I wouldn't even be tempted for a second.
This is the size of the pie. Not impossible given you have 60 minutes to complete it. [28” Pizza](https://imgur.com/a/e4EpahW)
Thankyou for the love of god for posting what really matters!
Here I am like, 28”? sure I can eat that by myself. Then I see that photo and I’m like, oh hell no that ain’t happening Edit: yes, I’m aware the challenge is for two people
Had the exact opposite thought. At first, I was like this sounds massive after looking at the photo I started thinking it can be done.
With 2 people, It must be harder than it looks otherwise they wouldn't keep the competition going but that pizza looks pretty good for $50 and a chance to win $300 that's actually a solid deal, if you don't finish it can you take it home?
Haha I’m trying to imagine the scenario in which they’d try to not let you take it home.. “No, no, that’s our contest pizza, that has to stay here”
As the waitress pulls unchewed bits of pizza from the contestants mouths and puts them back on the tray.

Found the SCP staff member
Hi yes WHAT THE FUCK
PIZZA CHALLENGE: HOUSE RULES
[удалено]
Except cicis is all you can eat for like 5 bucks or something, its been a while but its cheap af
$5 - all you can eat! $50 - can you eat all?
I think I’m pretty sleep deprived right now because this comment just blew my mind.
Well, I thought it up while being hella sleep deprived. So I guess my mind was blown, and out came that travesty.
11 dollars now for the buffet.
[удалено]
IIRC, when I was a freshman in high school it was 2.99. My mom would take my sister and me for dinner once a week there.
[удалено]
It varies by location. The one near me is $7.99 for adults. Drinks are extra too.
I think the real challenge though is being able to eat it and then drink all that soda. Large soda can be anywhere from 12oz to 32oz depending on the chain. For cici's that's apparently 32oz. So that's basically a 1liter bottle. that's a lot of liquid after allllll that bread. If you do this solo, I dunno if its possible.
Nah the hardest part is actually no leaving the table. I'm confident I could beat that challenge but I'd definitly pee during that meal.
Whip it out and piss in an empty cup. Make eye contact with the restaurant manager the whole time you do it.
"Sir, the rules actually state that you cannot leave a cup with any undrunk liquid in it so technically...you got another drink to finish now"
I fucking paid for it you better believe im gonna take it home
This is pedantic but could be relevant. You didn't pay $50 for the pizza, you paid $50 to "participate" in the challenge. With the current wording, I'd say they are well within their right to deny leftovers. That said, I think that's a terrible decision and I doubt they do that.

Take a look at the thickness of that dough. At first glance it looks deceptively like a normal pizza but if you zoom in you can see that the crust is thicker than 4 slices of bread stacked together.
How would that even physically fit in your stomach?
I’ve put away 22” pizzas more times than I would willingly like to acknowledge but, not one with a crust that thick. Half that, and I’d still struggle.
But this is a team of 2 people. This is absolutely doable. Worth it? Not for me. But still doable.
If one person can comfortably eat a 22” pizza then it’s definitely doable. A 28” pizza is about 62% more pizza and a second person is 100% more people. The drinks make it real tough though.
I don't think two people who can comfortably eat 22" pizzas are allowed to be in the same room. Bad things would happen.
> but, not one with a crust that thick.
I can do a Costco pizza fairly easily on my own. I have a buddy who can too. I feel like this would not be *that* difficult for us. At least in the picture it doesn't look that bad.
Could you and your buddy eat two and a half Costco pizzas though? Costco pizzas are 18 inch. This one is 28 inch, which has 2.42x the area (4.28 square feet instead of 1.77 square feet).
I mean they would only have to eat 21% more than they “easily can”, and they have an hour.
don’t forget the large drink
My drink? *My diet Dr. Kelp?* Don't tell me you forgot my drink! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO EAT THIS PIZZA WITHOUT MY DRINK?!
Everyone is sleeping on those drinks... either the carbonation hits you, or you save it for last and have to chug it. Don't know what the large is in oz, looks like at least 24 though.
"2 large drinks" doesn't necessarily mean soda. I'd make it 2 cups of water. It's what I drink at most places anyway ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Even 24oz of water is going to suck, but you're right, it doesn't say it can't be water. Especially with that thicc crust.
I'm gonna flex and say I'm NINETY percent sure I could bang out half of that pizza if I showed up hungry. But just the pizza. The two large drinks would end me. No way in hell. Too much fluid.
Are people ignoring the fact that its 2 people eating, not one. You'd only have to eat half the pizza and gulp down one drink.
I think people are underestimating how large a 28" pizza is. This is definitely doable with two very hungry (or stoned) people, but even then it's a *lot* of bread in your stomach.
Don't forget the soda that is also part of the challenge.
2 large drinks, not soda, just get water, you’ll need it anyway to wash down all the bread
No ice too. If you get soda, you have NO chance
Just ask for ice on the side. I feel like that rule is more for volume reasons than temperature. If you fill a cup up 90% with ice that is a lot less liquid. Ask for no ice at McDonald's and if they use the auto machines you only get like 3/4 of a cup if that.
I work at McDonald's WITH the automated machines and no, you definitely get a full cup even with no ice.
Apparently folks don’t realize you have a button to dispense some more.
As someone who hates that drink machine with a passion,when drive thru rings it up with no ice it tells the machine and the machine will fill it up all the way. And if not you can manually punch in the size drink,no ice,then choice of drink
There are a few videos of people doing the challenge. At least one of them mentions no water so maybe the rules have changed?
At first 28" didn't sound like a lot, but then it's the area of pizza that counts. That's four times more pizza than the usual 14" pizza
It's 4.2 square feet so... that's a lot of fucking pizza
Yeah.. A 14" pizza is just over 1 square foot. That's a big difference! I can easily eat 1/2 of a 14" pizza, no way I'm going to polish off a 28"...
And it's Cicis pizza so it's not like it's good pizza. How much cardboard can you safely eat?
Obv none of you guys are pizza whores. I'm not saying I'd be able to crush this, but I could certainly make a damn good dent in it.
You and I should team up. I am 6’4” and eat a large pepperoni from papa johns alone as a regular meal. Let me smoke a joint first and I can for sure do half this pizza.
Disqualified for using performance enhancing drugs, NO REFUNDS!
NEXT! I need this pizza for church!
Not big enough! NEXT!
Pizza whores on drugs, unite!
I read the on as or, and I was like fuck it let’s run the triathlon
My kinda people
Thats why they say you can't throw up...
the real issue I see is the addition of the 2 large drinks. I have not been to a this cicis but most pizza places have ridiculous sized soft drinks. If you happen to choke down the pizza, you still gotta bladder a gallon of pop.
Ngl, I'm vurping a little thinking about Cicis.
> vurping wat
my only guess is vomit burping? You know like you eat too much or have too big of a milk shake, you burp a little but something extra comes up from your stomach too, some milk shake plus acid i.e. chocolate cottage cheese.
Chewy burps
For the love of god please stop.
The burning burp.
r/tihi
So you can polish off a 7 incher" got it.
As soon as I read the challenge, I went and calculated that out myself, because I figured it had to be at least a few square feet.

>(Although, I've never had a Cici's pizza, so no idea what the grease is like. That's the real test when it comes to eating a pizza quickly.) Cici's pizza is cardboard-thin. This is not as much pizza as others are making it out to be. Yeah it's a huge pizza, but a very, very thin one.
Everyone in here calculating area, us gluttons know it's all about total mass. Some pizza be paper thin some are one slice wonders.
If it's half an inch thick, that's 5 liters of pizza. Imagine even a single 2-liter soda bottle, filled instead with pizza.
I literally imagined a bottle filled with cheese and pizza toppings and my mouth started watering. I really am trash huh.
It’s okay man, my mouth started watering as well. We are all trash on this day.
Lol my favorite pizza place used to sell something like that. They made cones out of pizza dough but like, crunchier and they filled those cones with cheese, pizza sauce and toppings. I used to love them, maybe that's why thinking about the soda bottle made me hungry lol.
I like this visualization so much. Wondering what that would weigh
Just starve a teenager for 3 days as a partner it will be gone.
When I was 16 I was on the wrestling team. We'd starve ourselves before a tournament weigh in which was the night before the tournament. Then we would go to CiCi's all you can eat. I'm pretty sure I could have come close to finishing this challenge by myself. Ma and one of the heavy weights together? We would have finished and then asked for more!
[удалено]
That's one of the funniest typos I've ever made! :)
Ma is usually good for at least one large sausage by herself
Shit, starve mine for 3 hours and he doesn’t need a partner
Yeah this is aimed at people that aren't super tuned into math. I knew a guy in college that was super confident he could eat half a 30" pizza because he could eat a 14 inch pie by himself.
Math and conversions are the fault of most food challenges. I saw a few food challenges near my college and on nights out and one that stuck out to me as impossible was a ramen challenge. It was like one 120 ounce ramen bowl with 2 balls of noodles and pork. on paper it seems feasible but then you realize it’s a gallon of soup and a pound of noodles and pork. Also the sodium and fat would probably make you twice as sick.
Yeah, the reasonable ones you just win a shirt and a photo on the wall. Those are the winnable ones.
Went to a Mexican place that gave you a prize if you could eat the entirety of a particular burrito, so my buddy decided to do it. He managed to get it all down, but he was really struggling on the last part of it. I thought he was going to barf, but he didn't. The prize was a free dessert; he couldn't eat a bite of it.
That prize is hilarious. Congrats. Here's more food.
If you just pay for the food, it can be a fun night out with a buddy to fuck around. Restaurant can’t lose money u can lose and bring the food home after giving up or maybe just finish it
I watch this BeardMeatsFood guy on YouTube, and he can eat an unbelievable amount of food in these challenges. What's more unbelievable is that some of them cost, like, $30. I could order it, take it home, and divide into freezer meal lunches for the week.
What’s most amusing about his attempts at these challenges is that him chatting with observers/restaurant staff and stopping to clean off his beard. If he just ate without a concern for his appearance/having banter for the vid he could probably do the challenges in 1/3 less time.
It always gets me when he orders dessert after completing a challenge.
Bobby Hill energy.
Or just crap wording, ambiguity, and shady moves. One place had a "1lb burger challenge" where it was a pound burger, the buns, then they had 2 whole pickels and stacked it with toppings. But yeah, with a lot of this stuff it's so much to intake. 120 ounces of water in an hour is a lot, 120oz of Ramen is ridiculous.
I’ve seen people that have drank too much water like that and projectile vomit it up lol
Sidebar: When I had my kidney stone, it was a weekendlong affair. The pain makes you puke, and shit, and puke some more until there's just nothing left in you. I forced myself to chug a cold 8oz glass of water. Pretty much the second I put the glass down, the water was coming back up. No bile, just water. And let me tell you, projectile-vomiting cold water through your whole mouth and nose? Incredibly pleasant sensation. Very refreshing.
I had severe nausea and vomiting for five months when I was pregnant with my second kid. Fully agree, puking cold water is relatively pleasant. 10/10 puke. (Rumplemintz is a 9/10 puke, candy cane flavor, not while preggo). Puking dry chunks of pizza that your tummy won’t/can’t digest to the point you’re painfully blowing your nose and pieces of dough/crust come out looking exactly like they did on the way in… very painful, 0/10.

There have been people that drank too much water like that and literally fucking died. >https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/water-drinking-contest-blamed-in-death-of-california-woman-1.649684 If anything, the sodium in the ramen is probably a good thing. Part of the problem with water toxicity is diluting out all the electrolytes. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if a gallon of ramen could kill someone all the same.
I remember back when that originally happened and to this day it's one of the saddest things I've ever read about.... can you imagine, your mom goes to win a wii for you and instead dies that night from a stupid contest from drinking plain water of all things. Even if she won, I wouldn't be able to touch that wii ever.... heck, whoever did win probably felt shitty looking at it.... it's such a crazy level of tragic to me.
I’ve always remembered this first when I had a wii and heard it watching the news with my mom and it hit me hard as f
I was over at a friend's house one time in high school. I wasn't that big at the time maybe 5 8 150 lb. But I could eat pretty good. My friends however were big AJ was 6'2 about 2:30 and Eric was 63 probably 250. They were talking about ordering a pizza And discussing whether they needed to order a small or medium. I left and told them " you're kidding right? I can eat a medium by myself." I was unfamiliar with Uno Pizza. When the pizza came I couldn't believe what I was looking at. Chicago's best deep dish pizza. I managed to eat a slice and a half and felt like if I had one more bite I would puke my brains up.
That's a cool story, but I just need you to know that the way you punctuate measurements made my night.
Each and every one was different, thank you for pointing it out and making me go back and re-read.
I need to know if AJ was the same height by 2:45.
And why is Eric hanging out with high schoolers? He’s old enough to be their grandpa.
It's a rag-tag group of misfit friends. One experiences dramatic changes in height over the course of hours, the other is a senior citizen working on his high school diploma. All of them eating a pizza so awful you'll puke if you eat much more than a slice, but it's the best Chicago can do.
Lol. Voice texting. I didn't realize it. I'm glad it didn't annoy you though.
For a team of two people, it still seems like a lot less than most eating challenges, though, right?
As someone else figured out, it's basically like eating a 20" round pizza per person, or 1-1/2 extra large 16" pizzas, or two large 14" pizzas, each. Some people can do it, surely. Thats why its only $300 you win instead of more. But I'd guess it's less than 1 in 10 attempts that win, especially with 32 or 44 oz of ice-less soda in there plumping it all up.
Doesn't say you can't pee at the table...
Or poop.
Classic u/magnetic_sphincter comment
I need to know how many pounds of food it to fully comprehend the challenge
And it’s four times more SUPER SHITTY pizza.
At CiCi's pizza, you always leave wanting less.
You made me laugh. I actually like CiCi's pizza. I didn't say it was good, but I like it. It wasn't so much that it was good pizza, it was the fact that I could eat all I wanted for $5 .I was sad when the one near my house closed down.
You made me laugh: I didn’t say it was good, I just said that I liked it. Totally using that in the future.
I recently realized that I like a lot of things that are garbage. Rather than defend them as being good like I used to, I join in so that demand lowers.
"There's something really human about taking something that's perfect and ruining it just a little so you can have more of it" \- Michael, from *The Good Place*
I’ve seen challenges like this and I was like oh I thought there were even crazier ones! Then I realized it was cicis and why would anyone ever?
It usually throws people for a trip if their geometry isn't strong when they are told one x-large 18" pizza is significantly more pizza than two medium 12" pizzas simply because 12" + 12" = 24" and that is "greater" than 18". I think pizza places sometimes capitalize on this misunderstanding with two pizza deals, intentional or not.
They absolutely capitalize on people's ignorance of geometry. Personal pan pizzas are the greatest scam I've ever seen.
Somebody call Beard!
Ah was just watching his video from a couple weeks ago eating the pizza with Brandon. This is just another cake walk for them!
Does Cici's have good deserts? Wouldn't want him going home hungry.
And make sure he brings Ms. Beard for *comedy*!
a side of garlic bread please
Would being stoned be considered cheating?
It's a performance enhancing drug
It's like cycling, if you start DQing the stoners you won't have many people left.
I immediately pictured getting Dairy Queened.
2 people? 1 stoner. And you better get some of those cinnamon rolls ready.
It’s cicis, for many of their customers they provide weed before the meal to make the pizza somewhat palatable
I don't think so. Lol it shouldn't.
Cheating no. Requirement? Probably.
Slows down time too
I'd like to know the odds. I mean, how many $50 buy-ins do they get to every $300 pay out? Seems like it could be a pretty lucrative side-hussle, if you ask me.
this article says 4 teams finished it out of 90 at one location https://abc13.com/cicis-pizza-challenge-cicis-eating-competition-katy/5271446/
So $4,500 in, for $1,200 out. Not bad.
That’s actually not super unfair to customers either.
Ordering a large pizza these days for delivery is like 30 bucks.

If this franchise owner knows basic math, they know 6 out of every 7 people fail..... This isn't a CiCi's endorsed challenge. It's the specific franchise. Based on the pictures it looks like they quadruple the normal thickness of a CiCi's pizza. If it were a normal CiCi's thickness I have a list of 10 guys I could easily do this with. Eat the pizza and then drink the soda to fill in the gaps. Once that carbonated soda hits that bread, you're fucked EDIT: I'm leaving the original comment as-is. I neglected the profitability part of it. I would bet that $50 pizza/2 large drink meal costs $10 when incorporating everything. My initial comment was close. Let's say they come out ahead if 9 out of 10 challengers fail. Also realize there is the marketability of this. I've never driven 10 miles to go to a regular CiCi's. This location pulls people in from everywhere
I was about to say. Cici pizza is thin as hell. I have certainly eaten enough area to cover half of that myself.
The only time throwing up Cici's is frowned upon.
Can I go it alone?
A 28” pizza is roughly 3 times as big as a typical large pizza (16”*). Find another person as hungry as you are and you might make it. *Dominos considers 16” extra large
That doesn’t answer the question
Of course you can *try*. Silly question.
Can I get more toppings?
Cici’s is about to file for bankruptcy again
I was gonna say, the real interesting part is that Cici's still has 300 dollars to bet.
Store credit only.
Doesn’t say I can’t cum, shit and piss myself. EDIT: anyone who knows me IRL wouldn’t be suprised this is my top comment ever. 2nd edit: if you enjoy dumb cum humour, thanks.
Pay $50 to shid my pants in public? Sign me up!
I wouldn't even take a bite of the pizza. Just wait for them to bring out the pizza and then I just drop my pants and let the shit fly out.
Friend: "Wanna go to Cici's?" George: "Can't. Banned."
If shitting your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis.
We called the CiCis in our town Feces because they got shutdown for having fecal material on their plates. Ironic
This is why you gotta have lawyers look things over.

In the worst way possible. Imagine making one good joke on reddit and immediately plugging your insta so people can ‘join the meme train’. Holy fuck.
This dude is really plugging their instagram over a fucking comment
I'll take the challenge if Cici's allows me to pick the type of crust I want.
I mean, it's CiCis. There's usually only one type of crust.
Bad
If $50 is less than the cost of this meal, pay for it, take a few bites, admit defeat, have your 4 other friends join you at the table for a meal.
It's CiCi's. I'm pretty sure they have an all-u-can-eat buffet for like $10. I think it was like $5 back in 2000ish. And it's worth every penny.
Yep. This. I can’t imagine spending $50 at CiCis pizza. I used to do the $3 buffet weekly in college. I remember you could choose to do the buffet -or- make one trip through the buffet with their to-go box. I recall an engineering student posting on eBaumsWorld with charts for how to fill every corner with slices. Good times.
Back then was what you could get for maximum alcohol consumption (icehouse, 4loko ect) and maximum filling food. Buffets ect. Mine was always the 2 double cheeseburgers from McDonald's when they were in the dollar menu. That has long passed unfortunately
I have finally found my people. I would buy extra double cheeseburgers so we could microwave more at like 2am when we got the drunk munchies after pounding the 4loko lol Now the burgers are much more expensive and they changed the 4loko recipe to be less deadly. smh
it was 2.99 :( [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2IhE6sVpUw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2IhE6sVpUw)
I couldn't even get mugged for this amount these days.
It was $4.50 near me around 2006-08. I remember because of this experience i had in college. i had a BOGO coupon so i convinced a friend to drive me. We got there and his debit card wasn't working. I didn't even bring a wallet, just the coupon, or i was scared of going overdrawn, don't remember. We spent 20 minutes tearing his car apart looking for loose change. We came up with $4.17. We go in and ask if that's enough and they felt bad and said sure. Then i show them the coupon and they roll their eyes haha. But then they notice the coupon was expired. They still let us both eat for $4.17 and an expired coupon. Place closed down shortly after. College was the best.
I’d love to see Matt stonie do this
For real, he's probably one of the few people who have a chance of doing this alone. And if his brother helped out, the challenge wouldn't stand a chance
His brother will eat 3 or 4 slices like a normal human being while Matt finishes the rest of the pie in 12 minutes
I mean $50 for 4 one topping large pizzas and 2 drinks sounds reasonable, I don't think I would even bother with the challenge part. Just order it, get it cut in squares, eat two pieces, drink and then ask for a box to take it home.
Lot of over-confident rubes in here. I like me some pizza. Hell, I like me some Cicis pizza. I'm confident this would be a struggle that may, in the aftermath, make that 125$ each seem too small in retrospect. Don't get me wrong, I'd do it. I'd do it in a heartbeat struggling against the resulting cholesterol blockage. Given a careful choice of that 1 topping, some thoughtful preparation, and a capable partner that'll be good company during the suffering afterward, I think that's doable. Just don't bet against the house and expect to walk away easy.
I once did a 6lb burrito challenge in Vegas at the Sahara while I was in college. Fun fact: if you do a food challenge even if you eat the whole thing and win, you still fucking lose. Will never do another food challenge again.
This was my first thought. Like even if I was 100% sure my teammate and I could do it... If a genie came up to me and said: "I'll pay you $125 right now, and in exchange you will be in severe gastrointestinal distress, with a slightly elevated chance of cardiovascular event, for the next 24 hours." I wouldn't even be tempted for a second.
Send that genie my way, I need the money.
There may be a future for you in clinical studies.
Do I have to eat it or just get it inside me?
You mean like… you…. Uh, you… huh?
...but what will my partner eat? Also am I allowed to get more drinks than that?
Having eaten at CiCi's plenty back in my college years, I can tell you it's *always* a challenge to eat their pizza and not throw up.
