For a certain sum of money tonight I unscrewed a cap off a salf shaker and downed all the salt inside. How much would it take you to do the same? Whoever gets closest to my total gets a :cookie:. Also, keep in mind your drunk.

For those wondering... I could not finish it. I got all the salt in my mouth waited about 45 seconds and ended up spitting most of it out. I drank 4 bottles of water afterwards and felt fine.

$20

And the salt with 4 glasses of water should have helped you avoid a nastly hangover.

Maybe I'd do it for £20? But I'm not in THAT need of £££. More for stupid bragging rights :thumbsup:

You will throw up afterwards. I once (I was 9 or 10) asked my dad if he would give me a quarter if I swallowed a handful of salt. He said sure, so I did it. There are very few things that make you feel quite so nauseated. It is an extremely horrible feeling, and it left me on the brink of throwing up for 10 minutes. My stomach still burned for a while afterwards. My dad must not have been impressed because he reneged on his promise to give me a quarter. Ugh.

I'd definitely do it for some ammount of money, but I don't know how much.

Not that big of a deal, you'd just need a sh!tload of water afterwards.

And that's after I drink a crapload of water.
You need like 20 cups of water probably to dilute the salt, or you might get dehydrated.

I'm not sure if you could do it without some form of liquid. Same for the saltine cracker challenge.

I'd say you *attempted* it for $50.

I wouldn't do it for 1,000 dollars. Sounds like it would kill you or be extremely bad for your health.

Idiotic. Downing one cup of salt all at once has a 100% chance of killing you. Depending on the size of the salt shaker, it could be more or less than that. That is similar to saying, how much money will it take for you to jump off the Empire State building?

Doing stupid things for money has no end, does it?

Edit: If you are still alive tomorrow, be sure to let us know.

How is downing salt anything like jumping off of the Empire State building? You said yourself you may not die from chugging it, however - you are guarenteed to die from jumping off the Empire State building.
And the OP said he spit out a lot of the salt, so why mention anything about his existence tommorow?

He didn't say anything about a parachute, now did he?
