All in one sitting. You get one condiment of choice, and a large glass of water. Bills can be torn up before consumption but nothing is stopping you from housing full Benjamins and digging for gold in the bathroom later. I think I could probably eat at least 10, and I would pick BBQ sauce.

    If strictly USD 100 bills: not worth it since destruction of legal tender is illegal and I won’t risk you ratting me out. But if I get to choose a currency where it’s legal (such as Euros) and which don’t contain much plastic… probably as much as can fit in my stomach which is probably a few hundred bills.

        I mean why not? A typical bank note weighs about 1g and probably has a similar density to most starchy food. With enough condiment and water, eating half a kilo of the stuff isn’t something I’d enjoy on a daily basis but totally worth it if I get paid the equivalent of half a year’s salary.

          I honestly thought you meant a few bills, each worth a hundred, and I was trying to make a joke.

          Starchy food is mostly water - around 75% for potatoes. So 500g of zero-moisture would require 1.5L of water to break even not with 500g of potatoes, but with 2kg potatoes, or 80-85% of a 5-pound sack of potatoes for our US readers.

          Bottom line, 500g equivalency to starchy food would be to eat 2kg of potatoes with no additional water. Ambitious!

      If you managed to eat several hundred bills I wouldn’t dream of snitching on you out of respect and sheer awe. I’d probably give you a few extra just for the show
