Watch This Competitive Eater Struggle Through A 1,000 Mint Tic Tac Challenge
We’ve seen Furious Pete before. He’s the same guy that crushed A CHIPOTLE-SIZED BURRITO in 30 seconds, but now he’s working on a challenge that we’ve never seen before.
Pete is pretty much an eating machine, so you would think eating 1,000 mint-flavored Tic Tacs would be a piece of cake for a professional eater like himself, but sometimes looks can be deceiving. Check out the video below:
“I’m Furious Pete,” he says as before explaining the basis of the challenge. “We’re taking 600 Tic Tacs, that’s 200 in every pack, these are the the “mint” flavor, not some PUSSY ASS FRUIT flavor and we’re adding an extra 400 to the pot for a total of 1,000 mint Tic Tacs.”
“Can we do it in 5 minutes? I’m not sure. Can we do it at all? I’m not sure either. But there’s only one way to find out — THAT’S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT, that’s why it’s a challenge,” Pete exclaimed just before popping open the first case.
At first, Pete didn’t seem to be intimidated by the 1,000 bite-sized mint morsels, since he’s crushed larger things in the past, but before he even got to the one minute mark, he realized shit was getting real.
“Should I be chewing these, or no” he wonders aloud at the 27-second mark.
It took him well over a minute to finish just one case, which is pretty slow by his competitive eating standards. At one point he said, “This was not as easy as I thought it was going to be, I thought it was going to be ‘Bada-boom, Bada-bing’ they’re gone.”
“I was wrong,” Pete said at the 1:46 second mark, still having not finished one pack of Tic Tacs.
It took competitive eater about two-minutes to finish the first pack, he then moved on, where at about the 5:00 minute mark, he shared some words of advice with his followers.
“This is not easy, not easy at all, I do not recommend doing this. This is just stupid,” he said.
Pete finally finished all 1,000 mint Tic Tacs in at about the 11 minutes and seven seconds. He was visibly shaken and looked like he’s just received an ‘F’ on an economics exam he actually studied for. It’s all good, Pete. This challenge wasn’t for you.
Regardless of the outcome of this challenge, Furious Pete is still a world-record holding professional eater and that’s pretty chill, if you ask us.
