If you think it’s all candy here at Stickam, you are wrong… dead wrong.

So my initiation into the Stickam social sphere included eating Special 2 at Orochon under 30 minutes.

A couple of us made a trip to a favorite ramen restaurant, Orochon—famous for their fire-breathing, face-sweating, ring of fire, spicy arse ramen. MAN OH MAN. Orochon has a “Wall of Fame” filled with pictures of brave patrons who finished Special 2 ramen in 30 minutes or less.

You think it’s easy huh?

Synopsis:
- 12:01PM: All of us were starved, waiting patiently for food.
- 12:30: PM: We received (2) Special 2’s –one for a former champion on the Wall of Fame, and one for Heidi. 30 Minute countdown started.
- 12:35 PM: Everyone enjoyed their meals. Heidi hungrily consumed her noodles.
- 12:36 PM: Heidi finished noodles, panting, sweating, panting. Everyone stare at Heidi and encourage her to finish.
- 12:45 PM: Heidi attempts drinking soup base with straw, but straw clogged with chili peppers—failed miserably.
- 12:46 PM: Heidi barfs. More room.
- 12:48 PM: (12 minutes to go) “OK, fine, freak it,” Heidi thought. (chugs bowl of soup.)
- 12:55 PM: (to waiter) is that OK? Does this count? Do I win?
- Mission accomplished.. heidi bolts to the restroom to hurl the remaining food.

OK. I really just wanted to get this story out ASAP, so the story wasn’t really written well. Basically, I left with a burning stomach and bigger, redder lips.

After chugging a cup of Calpico, I was gravy. Why I didn’t drink this before was beyond me, but one thing’s for sure… NEVER AGAIN.
