The Vending Machine Challenge

I love to eat.  I'm pretty sure when I go to hell, I will be this very obese person that gets access to all the food and booze a man could ever dream of.  Life will be so grand.  All jokes aside, I was presented with a challenge a few months ago from some co-workers that I've been seriously thinking about.  Could I eat one item, of every item in a vending machine (this excludes gum) in 1 hour?  Think about that for a second folks.  A standard vending machine holds roughly 35-40 items.  These include chips, candy, cookies and mints.  35-40 items.  In 60 minutes.  Hmmm...

Could I do it?  Should I do it?  If anything, what's at stake?  At first, the bet was, if I couldn't eat every ONE item in 60 minutes, I would have to wear a thong at our Pizza Friday (while everyone was eating), go to the very last box at the end of the line, eat a slice, then walk back to the elevator.  Another one was, I had to grow my hair out for 3 months without cutting it.  You're probably asking, "What's so crazy about that?"  Have you seen how fast my hair grows?  I've been clean shaved for over 4-5 years now and I wouldn't even know what it would look like to have hair.  Something to the extreme of a Chia Pet gone fucking bad.

I need help on whether I should take the bet as well as, if I lose, what should I really have to do?  Better yet, if I win, what does the loser have to do?

Hell, if this Vending Machine Challenge isn't the right challenge, what should I do?  Get kicked in the face by a donkey?  Make out with a homeless person?  

Your thoughts are appreciated and encouraged.

Do it .. you ONLY live ONCE! If you lose, I think the thong is an EXCELLENT idea BUT it HAS to be videotaped for your blog. Shit I think the challenge should be taped too!!
If you complete the challenge I think the loser needs to make out with a homeless person in SF!!

I know this is pretty old... but no less relevant.
DO it! Go for it J.
Here are some suggestions:
1) Up the stakes, Alot! Hell, you could go big and raise money for your favorite charity (Like the "J-Wonder Needs a _______ This Week" Foundation!!!). ; )
2) Google it (You don't want to find yourself up against a "Cinnamon Challenge").
3) "Research" (Can anyone I know/payoff perform this challenge) BEFORE you commit to a wager.
8)
