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.

    I’d lure you to give me a bill for me to eat, then walk off with my free 100$ (no way I’m putting money in my mouth)

      You think this is my first rodeo? You gotta put down a credit card as collateral. Don’t worry, the bills are clean. I’m in the money laundering business.

    I hopefully get time to do my research to make sure my country’s currency doesnt have any toxic products, if its not the case id say somewhere in the thousands/tens of thousands. Especially if i can just tear them down to pieces and eat them with sauce.

      This is the way, I think. Trying to swallow them whole will only lead to disaster, unless you have zero gag reflex (no judgment). And I think I’d go with artichoke dip.

    I’d fold them tight to the size of a pill and swallow them. I could do 100 easily, but I’d shoot for at least a thousand.

    I have no idea what $100 dollar bills are made out of, but if it’s paper then I think you’re in trouble especially since there’s no time limit on the one sitting.

    I surely wasn’t the only kid to eat an obscene amount of paper, right? RIGHT?

      US bank notes are a blend of 75% cotton and 25% linen plus trace amounts of whatever is in the ink and security features.

    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

    Do I have to keep them down? Because if I can rip and salt them before, I can eat a lot, but I’m going to need my stomach pumped. Even if there isnt something toxic in there, they will cause a bowel obstruction.

    Speaking from real world experience, I can consume around 1 kilogram relatively comfortably, with normal water consumption. I might be able to push that to 1.1kg with minimal water, but I wouldn’t if yakking means I lose it all.

      They are 25% linen and 75% cotton. Neither are very good for digestion but probably harmless unless those crumpled corners cut your custard dispenser on the way out
