Watch E Lose a Disgusting & Epic Maple Syrup Drinking Contest in Lubbock

I have always liked to help out as many local charities as I can. But this year I took a break from flipping pancakes at the annual Lions Club Pancake Festival to have a syrup-chugging showdown with Lions Club President Jason Gloe. Spoiler alert, I lost. By like a lot!

If the title makes you feel a little queasy, you're not alone. Even the cameraman gagged a little as Jason and I chugged our maple syrup bottles.

I've never been good at drinking or eating contests. Lots of people can shotgun beers or sodas, but I can't. It's not like I have a delicate constitution or anything, I just can't chug stuff. Which, in this instance at least, benefited me greatly. I mean how bad do you think Jason felt later that day after chugging half a bottle of syrup? I'm going with 'not good'.

Check out the full video of the maple syrup chugging contest below -- preferably, with a garbage can or toilet within arm's reach.

(Bonus for my friends on Facebook, when I checked in at the event, it was mislabeled the "Loin's Club Pancake Festival". Yes that says LOINS, not LIONS.)
