The Gallon Challenge

The JVC year is known for being a challenging experience and our community has been working hard at making sure that we challenge ourselves enough. One of the ways we recently challenged ourselves was by partaking in the gallon challenge.
For those of you not familiar with the challenge, don't assume things too quickly. (We are a dry community afterall!) The challenge involves an individual drinking an entire gallon of milk within a single hour. In our setup, we also added the stipulation that the milk must stay down in the challengers’ stomachs for an hour.
Now not all of us were felt we were up for the gallon challenge. In fact, just the boys and our visiting novice priest felt up to the challenge. The girls, as well as our support person, decided to try what seemed like a more achievable task – the saltine challenge. In this type of challenge an individual trys to consume 6 saltines in one minute.
Despite our strongest efforts, the milk and the saltines seemed to be the champions this time around. Perhaps though there will be a round 2 some time soon!
