I was at a bar with a friend years ago and he kept talking about how much he loves limes. He went on and on about it. Finally, I told him I would bet him $50 if he could eat a whole lime, rind and all. He couldn't refuse after spending 10 minutes talking about his love for them. The bartender was happy to offer a large one for the challenge.
This kid tried for 45 minutes to consume the lime. The juicy interior was quickly consumed and all that was left was the bitter, leathery peel which had the surface area of a dessert plate. He was chewing on it like he was trying to get someone to guess "chewing" in charades. He, very begrudgingly admitted defeat while me and the bartender were breathlessly laughing.
Hahaha I would 100% defeat that challenge. I eat them for fun
What an odd thing to brag about. Sounds like you handled it perfectly :)
