We all eat every day for sustenance, but some people choose to eat for other reasons, reasons that would make those in a third world country very surprised. And by that, we mean that some people like to waste food on a dare, often as a rite of passage. Not only are these food challenges extremely wasteful, but some of them are also quite dangerous. Of course, some of them are also just plain bizarre and make very little sense.

10.Habanero Challenge

This is perhaps one of the most well-known food challenges; people love to cram as many spicy peppers in their mouths as possible and see how long they can go before they need a drink. In all actuality, no one really enjoys it; their friends enjoy watching them do it and taping the results. This sort of activity is a social thing and usually precipitated by heavy peer pressure. Also, restaurants challenge people to eat large amounts of wings with Habanero sauce for the honor of being on their Wall of Fame and winning a free beer. That's usually a pretty good way to inspire someone to do something dumb.

9.Pickle Challenge

The pickle challenge is probably one of the most disgusting food challenges on the planet, even if you like pickles. While there isn't a lot of documentation on this specific one, probably because most people don't want to do it, there are a few points that seem to be pretty common. The most obvious aspect of the challenge is that you eat an entire jar of pickles and all of the juice therein. Some people impose a time limit on this, because God forbid you dilly-dally on shoving that many pickles and disgusting juice down your throat. We aren't sure why people enjoy wasting all this food; perhaps pickles were the only thing they had in the house.

8.Hamburger Challenge

Many restaurants have done the enormous burger thing, but one has gone so far as to make a burger weighing 6 pounds. The recipe includes two whole onions and two whole tomatoes, and at least one whole head of lettuce. The restaurant also offers slightly less gargantuan burgers that are only 3 pounds, in case you're not feeling particularly hungry that day. Like many restaurants, if you can eat the entire cow that they shoved between a loaf's worth of bun, they will give you all sorts of prizes, such as the meal being free.

7.Saltine Challenge

The saltine challenge sounds ridiculously easy at first. You are supposed to eat six tiny saltines in a minute. At ten seconds per cracker, that seems like nothing. Except it's actually quite difficult, not to mention horrible. The salt, plus the dryness of the crackers, makes it essentially impossible to get them down within the time limit. Some people have tried on multiple occasions, and still been left with about two crackers at the end. While this challenge is basically impossible, and incredibly pointless, at the very least it's safer and less wasteful than many of the others.

6.Milk Challenge

The milk challenge is one of those activities that happen when you and a group of people you have nothing in common with are so bored that vomiting dairy products all over the room sounds like a good idea. The idea of the challenge is to drink an entire gallon of milk in just one hour without puking any of it back up. Most people who haven't tried it think it sounds fairly easy, but the human body just isn't very good at processing that much dairy at once. Except for Kobayashi, but that's because he's almost certainly a space alien.
