Venue: Sandwich Time at Spin City, EX Ground floor, Jakarta
Date/Time: Mar 13, 2009, 19:00-19.05
Agenda: “I can eat sandwich in five minutes” competition
Prize: 2 million Rupiah

Although this kind of eating, trying to be a pig, competition is quite common, at least for me it’s quite interesting this time since two of my friends were participating.

The rules and the goal of the the competition were pretty simple:
- You have to finish the sandwich tower within 5 minutes and make sure there’s nothing left within your mouth
- You may start only when instructed
- You may improvise on how to eat the sandwich, per slice, sinkin the bread into the water first, or whatsoever trick you can think of

As it might sound easy, it might be not since the sandwich was not only huge but it was pretty hard to chew with the thin timeframe. As a result, none of the participant did win. The near miss one finished all the sandwich but sadly still had some within his mouth so he only got the award not the money prize.

Again, there’s nothing to lose since by the entrance fee of Rp. 25000 you’re getting the sandwich, normal price at Rp. 75000, plus Coca Cola.

Some pictures from the scene, enjoy!
