The great cream cracker sweepstake

Man has many things to be proud of; we’ve been to the moon, travel under water, World of Warcraft.

But no one before has tried this – the cream cracker sweep stake for charity.

I, Jeff, being of non-sane mind and flabby body will see how many dry cream crackers I can eat in five minutes without a drink. This will take place on Wednesday 14th May at work.

Entry to the sweep stake will be at £1 a guess and I’ll be adding the first £5 myself!

The prize money will be a whopping 20% of all entry stakes, with the remainder going to a the refugees in Burma cyclone appeal (www.dec.org.uk).

How to enter: Simply leave a comment below with your guess on how many dry cream crackers (to the nearest 1/2 cracker) and I’ll collect money at a later date. Remember you can enter as many times as you like.

Total cash raised – £38

Small print: The judges decision is final on the number of crackers eaten. Your home may be forfeit if you do not pay your stake when asked.

 

UPDATE

So challenge done (woohoo 1 more THING too).

12 crackers in total, so the pot (approx £5) goes to Cat.

The rest of the money may go to buying me a new jaw.  Slightly disappointed with 12; a rerun may be needed.

Photos to follow.
