Happy Valentine's Day!

And also check out the behind the scenes videos to check out interviews at our studio!

Grandma's Fear Factor

Yum!

The rules were simple: consume 6 cups of Rice Krispies, 1 bag of large marshmallows, and 3 pats of butter the fastest. You could use any other product from the kitchen to aid your speediness.
The contestants were Mark Roslan (5 time previous loser), Erick Raymundo (non enthusiastic participant), and intern Alex (reluctant but willing body).

Snap, Crackle, and Pop!

Mark stuffing his face early...Erick is scared

Chubby Bunny

Each contestant with a different method, including Mark's "I'm a horse"

Erick helps Mark with the funnel method...it didn't help.

Alex decide to put Tang in his concoction to make it better...it was a bad choice.

Alex making it fancy with his goblet o' water.

Towards the end Mark gets desperate and microwaves everything together.

All Mark needs to do is chug this warm...mess.

The final two...Erick wussed out and these two are hurting.

Mark...the 6th time LOSER!!! Congrats Intern Alex!!!!!

 After the contest Alex went to the restroom to throw up, but he WON!!!  So until the next challenge when Mark can lose again and make it 0-7!

We took some video also.

No one has drawn her any sparkly ponies yet and that's sad :(

MONDAY! MONDAY! MONDAY!

Get ready for the epic battle of wits and stomachs between Mark Roslan, Erick Raymundo, and intern Alex in: 

MAKIN' RICE KRISPIE TREATS IN MY TUMMY FIGHT!

To take place Monday the 6th each contestant will need to consume 6 cups of Rice Krispies:

and an ENTIRE bag of large marshmallows:

Milk, Bud Light, or water will be provided to help it all go down. The person who finishes the fastest wins! And what do they win you ask? Well moderator Peter Steigerwald says they win bragging rights which is to say they win suck all. Other people, in this same office, feel that this contest is entirely too easy and should at least include the 1/4 stick of butter...AT LEAST.  However, since none of these people are involved in consuming of said food, we have no say. 

Pictures and the winner announced Monday!
