The saltine cracker challenge is a competition in which a person has 60 seconds to eat 6 saltines (also known as soda crackers), without drinking anything; all the crumbs must be eaten too. Although the challenge sounds easy, it is actually very difficult, because the crackers quickly exhaust the saliva in one’s mouth. Even though six saltines can fit in one’s mouth all at the same time, and a minute is plenty of time to chew, the resulting mess of crumbs resists swallowing.  A close relative is the challenge to eat a teaspoon of cinnamon. Again, this is a small amount of a familiar food, but it dissolves poorly in the mouth, making the powder hard to swallow.

    Try it with Weet-bix. No liquid, just dry Weet-bix (or Vita-brits). You can feel your cells drying out.
