The Game

Alaska milk

I've been trying to spread this game for a quite a while, and since I've now got this lovely electronic soapbox, it's time to share it with the world.  Max and I have been playing this game as long as we've been climbing together, and now it's practically a ritual.

The rules are simple: find the most calories for the least cash.  The person with the highest cal./dollar ratio wins.  Usually we play in a gas station on the way to an ice climb.

So far the 99-cent bag of peanuts has been very difficult to beat (about 1000 calories).  Also strong contenders: the Snickers bar, at 280 cal., can sometimes be found as low as 65 cents.The gallon of whole milk (ideally, choco) usually goes for about $3.50, and comes in at an incredible 4000+ calories.  Butter, Crisco, etc. are definitely contenders, but thankfully we've never yet been that hungry/broke.

So next time you're out dirtbagging... erm, climbing ... go play!
