Day 22 of Free Write: Cracker Prompt

in #busy8 years ago

Well my first thought when I saw this prompt was something along the lines of "Polly wanna cracker?!?" from a parrot in a pirate movie or something. Maybe that is just because I really love birds, but who knows. Seems like the most standard thing to think of when someone brings up a cracker. My second thought when thinking about crackers as a prompt is even better I think.

Have you guys ever heard of saltine crackers? They are really standard crackers with salt and awfully dry if we are being honest. Well there is also something called the "saltine cracker challenge", yeah I know, it sounds stupid because it kinda is. My friends and I attempted it when we were around the age of 9 or 10. Basically the challenge is to eat 6 saltine crackers in 60 seconds without any water. Doesn't seem to hard at first, right? Yeah well this challenge is really difficult actually and I wouldn't really recommend trying it no matter how easy it sounds. All you are going to be left with is an extremely dry and salty mouth after forcing yourself to eat about three of these crackers.

Honestly just reminds me all of the stupid stuff we did as kids like this. I don't think any of my friends ever really successfully completed the challenge for the record...I was going to bring up how this makes me wonder what kids do today for a challenge, but then that just made me think about all this Tide Pod nonsense we've been seeing on the news!

This was a great reading and I could really se the salty crackers in front of me 😉
Have a wonderful day. Cheers!

Thank you!

I think I rather eat way more than 6 saltine crackers than even one tide pack. Yuck!!

Haha most of us can agree with that I hope!

Nice one
I'll start up mine shortly
I'm inspired by your work winks

Great work from you thanks for posting

I guess if you've eaten tide pod, 6 saltine crackers would be a doddle.
