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.

      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

        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!
