Day 116: Now With Sound Effects

Today I have some guests over tonight to confirm my actual attempt at drinking Tabasco sauce is real. Thank you to Nick Gardner for his help of pouring of the Tabasco, Brian Piert for the sound effects, and Ben McCartney for this looks of displeasure and disbelief. 

Enjoy.

Day 118: Twins

Here's Day 118 if you are following along if not I don't mind, I'll just hurt myself in the solitude of my apartment. I'll keep this post short and spicy. Training is going well but I don't want to overexert myself in the early stages of Tabasco drinking. Like music or burrito folding, tabasco drinking is an art form elusive to many, but I hope to conquer this delicious ability.

Enjoy. 

(I say this instinctively if someone gives me a better send I'll probably use it)

Countdown to Tabascogeddon Day 119

So, to show that I do really mean to achieve this goal of destroying the lining of my stomach and to raise some money for the Francis James Pyle Scholarship, here is the second in a line of blog posts and videos recounting the epic tale that shall be known as the Tabasco Gallon Challenge (working title). I'm working on names of the event that it could be called, Tabascogeddon is a possibility but I would enjoy some suggestions.

Tabasco Gallon Challenge, Part 2: 120 Days To Go

Action speaks louder than words, so here is the first post of me doing the tabasco challenge. One shot down and I hope you feel the burn as much as I do.

Enjoy

Here We Go Again

If you haven't already realized it, I failed. The gallon challenge was a bust and I didn't even get half way through it. But I've decided to try again, for a couple reasons:

(1) I'm different now: We have the technology. We can make it better than I was. Better, stronger, spicier.

(2) For my 21st birthday my aunt sent me another gallon of tabasco. So now i have two gallons and at this rate I'll be drowning and burning in hot sauce for years.

(3) I want to do this for a goal, not just to hurt myself. So with that I will be raising money for the Francis James Pyle Scholarship Fund, which goes toward musicianly men of good academic standing and character, to help in their education at Drake University.

So with that, here is the plan:
I will train in drinking the rest of my first gallon of Tabasco Hot Sauce. On March 14th, 2015 (120 days from this post) I will drink the 2nd gallon I have in a challenge befitting of a true man. But there is a catch. I will only do so if I raise $1,000 dollars for The Francis James Pyle Scholarship Fund. So let's make this happen. As they say no pain, no gain and I am all about the pain.

I will have more information later on about how you can give to watch me suffer.

Thanks and Enjoy!

Day 3: Good Morning Vietnam!

Just kidding, but what a great way to start your day! If you are ever in need of a morning pick up, might I suggest a small shot of Tabasco? Gets you going and it makes sure you'll feel something for your early morning classes. If you don't believe me check out my morning routine.

Day 2: Second Verse, Same as the First, a Little More Painful and a Little Bit Worse

Day two has just happened and its not getting easier. I guess that should be expected after just two days. I feel I just did leg day twice in a row, and you never do leg day twice in a row... Different day, same pain.

Day 1: One Small Ounce For Man One Giant Gallon for Mankind

You've heard the talk, but now here's the excruciating walk. Day one begins simply with an ounce. An ounce of pure red fire. Here it is folks, that first step. For your information I did not throw up, I kept it all down.

He's the Man with the Plan: FOR PAIN

A little late but here is day one of my journey. As I said a gallon is equivalent to 128 ounces, by that logic that should take at the most 128 days. Now that seems a bit long so lets cut that down to one month. Don't believe me? Here's the plan:

Gallon Challenge Plan:

Day 1-7: (1) one ounce shot each day. (121 ounces left)

Day 8-14: (1) two ounce shot each day. (107 ounces left)

Day 15-21: (2) two ounce shots each day. (79 ounces left)

Day 21-28: (3) two ounce shots each day. (37 ounces left)

Day 29: (1) eight ounce cup. (29 ounces left)

Day 30: (1) twelve ounce cup. (17 ounces left)

Day 31: (1) 17 ounce cup. (0 Ounces left)

Now for reference here is a comparison of a gallon of Tabasco to the traditional restaurant size bottle of Tabasco;

That little bottle on the right is 2 ounces, .015625 percent or 1/64th the amount in a gallon. I usually use one of those bottles when I eat out and it makes me sweat a decent amount. I'm starting small at an ounce because I want my body to be accustomed to pure unadulterated Tabasco sauce. Here's to a month long journey of pain. If you enjoy watching people in pain as much as I like inflicting pain on myself, then you are at the right place.

Happy Valentines Day!

I've had the idea to do this for a long time. I really enjoy Tabasco and put copious amounts on most of what I eat. But more than that I love the burn that comes from it and the feeling of pain, but also the accomplishment of overcoming that pain. but what would it be like to try to go through a gallon of Tabasco sauce? I want to raise my tolerance of heat and think this is a great way to start. So enjoy my journey through 128 ounces of pain and follow me as I do my own "gallon challenge".
