When we were seven, everyone used to dare their friends to do different things. Whether it was eat a garbage plate of table scraps or drink a concoction of God knows what, there is something oddly captivating about watching someone eat or drink something sick-nasty. The Gallon Challenge takes that fascination to new highs.

The idea is to drink an entire gallon of milk in one hour. If you puke, you lose. Although if you don't puke, I'm not exactly sure what you “win.” Ah, well. No matter. While doing some online research, some sites say it doesn't matter what type of milk you use (think skim people), but other say that whole milk is the most common assignment.  Apparently, chocolate milk gets the nod as well.
According to Wikipedia, there are several different varieties of the Gallon Challenge. The regular version is what I described above, but there are also “triathlons” of sorts, in which the contestants drink  1/3 gallon of egg nog, 1/3 gallon of chocolate milk and 1/3 gallon of whole milk. Gag me. Another lovely variation, called the Half Gallon Challenge, is when people drink a half gallon of either half and half or cream in half an hour. Not my idea of a Saturday afternoon, but whatever.

So now that you know all about this really nasty challenge, naturally you want to see some people attempt and hurl all over the place, right? Luckily, that can be arranged.

Okay. In this poor guy's defense, whatever he's drinking looks bigger than a regulation size gallon. It almost looks like one of those laundry detergent containers. I love how a little posse forms throughout the hour to witness the conclusion. Get some new friends, buddy.



This chick looks weaksauce from the very beginning of this video, although she's likely already drank a half gallon of milk. Who the hell is that tool cheering her on? I would have walloped that guy in the face with the milk, and then it would have been a fun day. There is a lot of suspense in this video to whether or not she'll actually blow. The guy just laughs the whole time. Jerk.



This guy decides that a prop (funnel) might help him in his formidable task. Not a bad idea, it keeps  you chugging, that's for sure. The problem with this is...well you saw what happened like two seconds after. Come on, dude. Not in the shower.



Was this like a school-sponsored event? There are spectators and everything. When I throw up, I don't need an audience, I'll tell you that. I love how they zoom right in on the contents of the trash cans. See, that's puke. It's white. Like milk. Ick. The one kid tries his best to run away, but the fiesty camera man finds him. Give the kid some privacy for pete's sake.



Then of course you have this trooper who just makes everyone else look like a bunch of sissies. 41 seconds...are you kidding me? Bravo, really-good-at-drinking-milk guy. It may be a completely useless talent, but it sure is interesting to watch.
