Tatonka Challenge!

Yesterday, I got to be at this Tatonka Event organized by the amazon.EU team for their employees at Trombar. And my husband, Yesh was one of the participants.

A week ago, I remember he had mentioned about this Tatonka and had explained me that this will be a competition where each registered member will have to eat 16 chicken wings and the winner will get an icon on some tool they use internally within amazon. Being a chicken lover, I liked the concept but Yesh is not a big foodie like me. So, I was really skeptical if he would do it!

Then yesterday, he asked me if I would like to join them at Trombar for their event just to encourage them.  But, seriously, why would they need some cheering to eat??!! Whatever, he said that it would be fun and would be a good opportunity to meet people. Since the day I have moved to Luxembourg I hardly got a chance to attend any social gathering. For this reason, I thought I shall go!

At the event entrance was a registration desk, where each contestant pays a certain amount and enters the Tatonka Challenge. Each participant has an identification wristband in colors yellow, green, purple and red to represent the type of challenge. Yellow is for the basic 16 chicken wings, green for vegetarian to complete 100 celery sticks, purple for 40 chicken wings and red, the atomic challenge for 16 chicken wings cooked in spicy sauce. The place was completely filled up with fun and enthusiasm. Once they were served, they jumped in and their dedication was just awesome. Each one had their own style and technique of attacking the bone. They have pre-shown examples of the rightly and wrongly eaten chicken wings, of course based on the remains. It was not a time bound event. Each person can take their own time; the only thing that mattered was how clean the remains looked.

To my surprise, Yesh actually completed the challenge and was eligible for the icon. By then my stomach started growling in hunger and my palate started craving for chicken wings ;) I wished the contest should have been open for me too. Whatsoever, I ordered for a portion and finally enjoyed a whole bowl! J

Thanks Amazon for the enjoyable experience!!
