hello! yoshi > Entertainment

Ok, when we saw this new show, The Food Detectives on Food Network, I thought it could be pretty cool. A show that tries to bust the myths of food, such as getting drowsy because of turkey, and whether the “5-second rule” truly applies, is definitely up my alley.

But I didn’t believe the myth about not being able to eat 6 saltine crackers in less than a minute. That episode was enlightening, but I still didn’t believe it. I realize the tests and trials were pretty conclusive, but I had to test this one out myself.

So I sat down with 6 saltine crackers and started the clock. Amazingly enough, when you’re eating them as fast as you can, it’s tough to eat saltines! I was able to get 6 crackers into my mouth, and I actually did eat 3 of them before 1 minute was up, but I was unable to swallow all the crackers in 1 minute. I think personally that the dryness of the crackers has everything to do with it.

I’m convinced, however, that it could still be possible with practice. It can be done.

So it’s coming up to the end of “season” for the current Japanese dorama (or Drama). I don’t watch all the dorama. I mean there are quite a few running, but I do try to watch dorama that have actors and actresses I like such as Ueto Aya, Fukuyama Masaharu, and Shibasaki Kou. And yes, I will watch dorama with them in it even if it sucks. (most of the time anyways.)
