World Cup Eating



I know it's been a while. I know the world cup has been over for a month. I was digesting. I was stupid enough to take on a bet that I could eat 1 bratwurst for each game number I attended. Let me explain.

I was working in Berlin for the World Cup. Berlin had 6 games played there. Yes I saw the headbutt. Moving on, At the first game in Berlin I ate one bratwurst. At the second game I at two bratwurst. So the bet was born. I needed to eat three brats the next game and so on until the finals (my game 6, 6 bratwursts).

Now let me explain the bratwurst. Imagine out footlong dof but 4 times as thick. Then wrap it with a fresh semolina rollthat only covers one quarter of the brat. Smother with mustard. NOW POUND 'EM DOWN.

By game 5 I was hurting but not out. By game six I had to fold. I fot through 4.5 brats and then had to throw in the towel. It was impossible. Even for an eater like me. It just can't be done.

UGHHHH! BURP!
