I had to peel back a lot of layers to understand this meme. I clawed through a bushel of possibilities. But once I got it, it brought a tear to my eye.
I watched someone get offered $40 to eat an entire onion. They started in to it quickly but they didn't get very far. It got...real messy. Please don't try that or, if you do, please have a video :)
The onion my friend tried to eat was a yellow onion about the same size as the ones in the picture. He started off great. After eating about a third of it, he started slowing down. After a few more bites, he dropped the onion on the ground, fell to his knees, and loudly reproduced everything he had just eaten. Again, I am simultaneously strongly discouraging and strongly encouraging this from any brave soul who is crazy enough to go for it. Please have a video..
You Win, you cry.
