My friends had all gathered at this Japanese restaurant this Saturday, enjoying some sushi. Finally my friend had to say it. $10 to whoever takes that entire ball of wasabi and eats it. Now he is a big fan of prop betting, because he plays a lot of poker, and that's what poker players do.
I told him he made $280 that very afternoon playing no limit poker at the L.A. Bicycle Casino, so he would have to up the ante. The rest of the fellas helped him out, and now the reward was a cool $20 to eat the big ball of wasabi.
I had never tried this before, and taking even a pea-sized piece of wasabi was very spicy and messed with my sinuses. But I was ready. The first 5 seconds of putting it in my mouth wasn't bad. But then, an uncontrollable sensation of my mouth being on fire welled up. The tears started, and my mouth yelled to spit it out and get some liquid, but I held on. 1 agonizing minute later, it was all gone, and I took the $20. But for the next 2 hours, my stomach felt uneasy. Totally not worth it, but in a way it was, because it was great memories with friends, and we got it on video!

Man, I had a similar experience with a slice of pizza and some really hot sauce. Maybe it wasn't so spicy as the wasabi but it sure burned my mouth, neck and chest for about 15 min. -

Oh my god, I HATE sushi! I tried it once and nearly vomitted! I think the fish sauce did it... I did like the rice wrapped in seaweed - but I don't think that actually could be considered to be sushi. Give me tuna any day ... but the rest of it, no thank you! I think you did very well! -

The first 3 times I had sushi, I hated it. It took a while, but now, I love it. You just have to tell yourself that what you are eating is really healthy, and the taste develops. Trust me. And Try that ball of wasabi one day when you're bored ;) -

yeah, $20 to eat a ball of wasabi is way too cheap. but then, i am a wasabi fiend. i am in love with wasabi mayo for certain sandwiches. or just a smear of straight wasabi. -

That's crazy, but I bet I would have done the same thing. -

Many successful companies were started by people from their homes. Here is an example. Ewing Kauffman started his company in the basement of his home. Later, he moved to a huge building and used his middle name as the name of his company. You probably know the company he named as Marion Laboratories. He became so successful he started a professional baseball team in Kansas City. ----------------------------- Jenifer Sport betting guide
