Bring it
To any other 4-pound tubs of Animal Crackers that think they can defeat me: look and learn.
Look and learn.
***cadiz12 inspired update***
Guess how long it took to consume all 4 pounds of crackers. Closest guess without going over wins a prize.

2 weeks. That's about how long it took me to eat an equal size tub of cheeseballs...

Alas, if only some IT guy I know with a bunch of laptops he doesn't use would give me one of his laptops. Then I would be able to comment appropriately and with great wit on all of Omar's fabulous posts.

I hope your dietitian doesn't know that you binged on animal crackers....
mep said:
I'm going to go with . . . 3 weeks. Just because.
Squeaky said:
1 hour
Ant said:
One cracker every 10 seconds.
Nadia said:
55 minutes.
Were they that tasty, Omar?
Berrygirl said:
I would say about three days. That is about how long it would take me depending on what good shows were on those nights.
Daniel said:
five and a half days
cadiz12 said:
wow, i didn't think everyone would have such wild guesses. personally, i'm in the during-the-viewing-of-sporting-activity-timeframe camp.
what's the answer, o?
cadiz12 said:
oh man, i missed the cadiz update thing. my technical guess is i mean 3.4 hours.
I said:
Sorry to all those who are confusing me with Takeru Kobayashi.
There isn't really a good story behind eating these, I just wanted to see what you all would guess.
So there's good news and bad news. Good news is that the winner is a newcomer, Daniel (oh, the right answer was 8 days of snacking, by the way). The bad news is that omarphillips.net prize giveaway rules clearly state that people who have met me in person are ineligible to win prizes. Sorry Dan. But thanks for visiting, hope to see you back!
And glo, my family's dietitian specialist has been busy assisting with other issues, so I sneaked these 4 pounds of crackers in under the radar.
Raj guessed the shortest amount of time, so that'll be my goal for the next 4 pound tub. 47 minutes or less.

Hey Omar, my minivan (yes! I live the cliche) is ankle-deep in animal crackers and animal cracker remnants. FYI. In case you get hungry, and can't find more 4 pound tubs anywhere.

hmmmm...that sounded kind of mean after I posted it. I didn't mean it in a bad way...I promise.
Glo said:
Well, this will be a wake-up call to her...she better keep a closer watch on you!
I said:
17 - Mean? I'm actually halfway through Ohio right now on my way to your minivan.
jasmine - Snooze. lose.
I said:
And also, who voted "other" on the poll? What is other? What else is there? I didn't really expect anyone to choose it when I put it there.
X said:
I'd like to say it was me, just to appear cool and non-conformist, but, alas, it wasn't me.

Alas, I came too late! I would have guessed 10 days.
Now I want animal crackers.... what is it about those things that are so good!?!? Those and the arrow-root crackers (yum!)
cadiz12 said:
i was the one who voted 'other,' omar.
i shower directly before i leave the house. but unfortunately, when your workday begins at 10a.m./12p.m./1p.m./3p.m./4:30p.m./5p.m/6p.m. (depending on the scheduler's whim) that makes "morning" somewhat relative.

Hey Omar, did ya know it is free HBO weekend? Some people are getting Starz for free, others HBO - it depends where ya live :)
I said:
No I didn't! Why wasn't I notified? I've been getting it since Wednesday night, how long does it last?! The timing of the cable guy's visit was just a coincidence then, apparently. In any case, the poll question is still a test of the moral values of the omarphillips.net readers.

this is what I get for thinking nothing goes on when I don't blog. the one time narcissism doesn't get me anywhere.
8 days...wow. I have similar looking tubs of other kinds of crackers laying around near the TV area, too bad I'm gonna start fasting soon. I could've attempted to beat the record.
me said:
Darn it. I'm too late. Must get back to devoting hours to the computer each day. Look at the stuff I miss.
