| Props: | A watch, a large quantity of a food item like marshmallows or bananas |
| Notes: | This skit is based on the "Name That Tune" game show. It requires 3-5 participants. The eating contest builds comedy through escalating bids. Make sure contestants are safe eaters and have water available! |
(This very straightforward skit requires a large quantity of some sort of food item - marshmallows, bananas, bread, prunes or biscuits are good.)
(The skit features a Skitleader and 2 to 4 contestants. The Skitleader announces that we are going to play a game called, "Eat That Food.")
(He selects 2 to 4 contestants from the audience. The contestants are then told that the low bidder will be required to eat 10 marshmallows.)
(Contestants then bet on how long it will take them to eat the ten marshmallows. Whoever bets lowest actually has to do it in that period of time.)
(This skit is based on the "Name That Tune" game. Actual dialog would go something like this:)
[Skitleader:] (to first contestant) What is your bid?
[1st Contestant:] I can eat ten marshmallows in thirty seconds.
[2nd Contestant:] I can eat that may marshmallows in twenty seconds.
[3rd Contestant:] I can do it in 5 seconds.
[Skitleader:] Eat That Food.
