Most eating challenges start off as a result of someone boasting about their ability to consume massive quantities of food. This one was no exception. When "Spivey" claimed he could eat 8 tacos, his colleagues took him up on the challenge. Little did he know, 24.1 tacos later, there would be a winner, and of course, a loser!

Taco Challenge 2006
Like most absurdities around the office, this one started with Spivey claiming he could eat eight tacos from Taco Bell. This time, we took him up on his offer.
To sweeten the deal for spectators, and to ensure Spivey's participation, Heather made it into a challenge. She would go 1-for-1 with him on Tacos.

In other words, Spivey got served.
So Vick, Geeven, Spivey, Heather and I headed to Taco Bell and it was on. Geeven, Vick and I each had ordinary Taco Bell meals. Spivey and Heather began doing rounds of three tacos each.
I'm too tired to really do this post justice tonight, so I'm going to leave it off here with a few tantalizing tidbits and photos and will fill in more details later.
Suffice it to say Spivey was ahead until the very end. Heather used two special abilities: MMP and BNR; but Spivey had no specials available. After 24.1 tacos, 4100 calories, and over a half pound of fat, it was all over.
The evidence is all here.
