I got curious why such a condiment-eating become a challenge. It was said that a politician, a comedian and two athletes are up to this challenge. I can't tell why they use such as a challenge? Is cinnamon that strong to be a dare-devil meal? Well, honestly, I haven't had a grasp of this condiment. I haven't tasted it either. All I know is that it can be mixed in a coffee; one that can make a bread taste better... what else?
Since cinnamon got me curious, I researched for it.(What a pity me!)Here's what I've got. According to Wikipedia, Cinnamon is a spice which came from the bark of a tree of the genus cinnamomum used in sweet and savoury foods. It seems that this cinnamon is something that can make one eat more than he can fill his stomach. According to some people on Yahoo Answers, Cinnamon does not have a particular taste. They say its sweet, bitter, sour.But they say that Cinnamon has a sweet woody fragrance... (Hmmm...I think, I can sense it a bit...) uhm, it's delicious (laugh).All I can is to imagine its taste (What a shame).
Okay, let's go back to the challenge, so since it is a spice, well I think it is not a big deal to become a challenge. Let me share to you this TV show in the Philippines called Eat Bulaga where they had a segment way back about year 2003 named SAK MO (Sige Ano, Kaya Mo?) where contestants have to take anything served as part of the challenge (i.e., ampalaya (Bitter Melon) juice, maggots,onion, raw eggs, siling labuyo, bell pepper, etc.). Another is the South Korean TV show Exploring the Human Body where members of the Super Juniors took the hottest chili called JOLOKIA and members of the formerly known as TVSQ (They separated into two boy group: TVSQ and JYJ) ate a bowl of rice mixed with this stomach-crunching, toilet-breaking Jolokia...
... and that's what I called a challenge...
Well I think if eating JOLOKIA became VIRAL like eating Cinnamon, a lot of people will be racing their butts in the toilet to make themselves comfortable. (LOL)
So, as a response to this viral challenge, I will have to...
... eat MILO instead (Slurp!)... Nyahahaha!
