Would you eat a couch for $1,000,000?
You have a month’s time (you can finish eating the couch before this time period), cameras would follow you to make sure that was all you ate – couch for breakfast, lunch and dinner…upholstery, cushions, zippers, frames, springs, and all. You may use power tools and other tools to break the couch into smaller pieces, and you can drink anything you want. You may also use any condiment to accompany it. Just no other food items, only couch, couch, couch! Or sofa.
The couch is 6 ft by 2 ft. and the material is made of checkered pattern fabric. Each arm has a thin strip of wood with a vine-type carving in it.
Are you up to the challenge?
Yes………pass the syrup
