I couldn't do it, but this one I believe.I won $100 two years ago by betting that I could throw a Mens Slowpitch Softball 110 yards on the fly. That doesn't sound very far, but no one else came close. My winning throw was approx 119 yards (I threw from the back end of one end zone and it landed a few inches short of the back end of the opposite endzone).
I also won the follow up bet on a football throw. Double or nothing for longest throw. A meager 62 yards, but it was the winning effort. Come to think of it, the original bet was $50 and the grand total after the double or nothing was $100.
How about wetting down the tortilla?Are talking large fajita tortilla or the smaller soft taco tortilla?Can I toast the tortilla, or at least heat it up in a frying pan for a few seconds?at this thread.
I repeat - flour tortilla, 150 feet. Takes a little more skill than the cracker because it's floppy. It's more about spin and release angle than brute strength because if you whip it too hard the tortilla will tear.

That's cool, wish they talked about distance. Doesn't this product make all you naysayers think "Hmm...maybe Ritz crackers DO have some kind of magical flying ability, Nigel just might be on to something..."
no..........That's cool, wish they talked about distance. Doesn't this product make all you naysayers think "Hmm...maybe Ritz crackers DO have some kind of magical flying ability, Nigel just might be on to something..."
I was talking about the smaller soft taco kind, but if you could fling a burrito sized tortilla 150 feet that would really be something.What benefit would you get by wetting it down? I'm inclined to let you do it, because I don't see the advantage. Seems like it would make it slippery and hard to grip.How about wetting down the tortilla?Are talking large fajita tortilla or the smaller soft taco tortilla?Can I toast the tortilla, or at least heat it up in a frying pan for a few seconds?at this thread.

Yeah but how far when you were back in high school?GB Uncle Rico.How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?
175 feet, max.
I played Ultimate in college and I can huck a disc about 110-120 yards without aid of wind. I think a frisbee golf disc can probably go about 30-50 yards further depending on skill. NO way a Ritz is going from behind one endzone on a football field past the other end....no way.

IMO, if you can get that bad boy over at all I doubt to many here would want to mess with you.I will be more than happy to bet anyone that I can still accomplish both feats. We will need someone from a reputable auditing firm to witness the event(s). While we are at it, I wager that I can flip a 620 pound tractor tire end over end 30 yards in 60 seconds or less. I will have proof of this feat when I compete in the next Nebraska Amateur Strongman contest on August 13th. Results will be posted on their website usually in early September.Is this where we post ludicrous claims?I can throw an infant 5000 feet.I won $100 two years ago by betting that I could throw a Mens Slowpitch Softball 110 yards on the fly.

Just short of a mile.. I know, but I'm working on it.
Takers?
What you should do is bet someone $10 that you can drink 3 pints of Guinness before he can do 3 shots. Make the rule that he can't touch your glasses and that you can't touch his. Down your first pint, turn it upside-down, and set it over his last shot. He can't touch your glass so he won't be able to finish the last shot.I can drink also a pint of Guinness in 3 seconds , 2 (two separate glasses, one after the other) in 10.
No, not the length of 1 and a 1/2 football fields.That's cool, wish they talked about distance. Doesn't this product make all you naysayers think "Hmm...maybe Ritz crackers DO have some kind of magical flying ability, Nigel just might be on to something..."

I came into this thread just looking to see how long this one would take - a lot longer than I imagined.How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?
Does anyone else smell chum? :XI can fart the theme to Jaws.

Of course African Ritz are not migratory.African or European Ritz?I call on this. I can throw a golf disc -- aeronomically designed for long-distance flight -- about 400 feet on a flat surface with negligible wind. I've met people who can throw quite a bit further than that...but not many.
A Ritz cracker does not have the flight characteristics to fly 450 feet on a flat surface unless it's been taped to the inside of a golf disc or other flight-friendly object.
But a single unmodified Ritz cracker? Unaided by topography or wind? I challenge you, sir, to duplicate this feat in my presence. I'll begin the challenge with a friendly $20 wager, giving 2-1 odds. And I'll give you three throws.
Wouldn't it just be easier to roll it? Work smarter; not harder....While we are at it, I wager that I can flip a 620 pound tractor tire end over end 30 yards in 60 seconds or less.

I just tried it. It flew about 100 hundred feet, then a grackle grabbed it and took it about another 500 or so.Has anybody tried flinging a ritz cracker yet? I'm intrigued and will pick up a box in a few minutes on my way back from stalking this girl I've been digging for about a week.
I'll try it in a school field that I hit golfballs in and will report back.

I highly doubt the Ritz are filled with lead.Y'all ever heard of Titanic Thompson, the legendary hustler?
Ti used to bet people he could throw "this here walnut" ridiculously far, over that building, etc. Well, he had hollowed them out and filled them with lead, so he made a fair amount of money carrying lead-filled walnuts around.
Now Ti was also a golfer, and one fine winter morning he was boasting he could drive a golf ball 400 yards. Well this folks called BS on Ti and took the bet. So Ti drove them to the edge of a cliff and drove that ball 400 yards easily.
Now Ti was also a fair man, and so he offered the guys a chance to get their money back. Ti promised to repeat the feat on level ground. The guys called BS on Ti and took the bet again. So Ti drove them to the frozen lake and drove that ball 400 yards again. Legend has it the ball was still rolling after Ti had been paid.

I used to do this in college, never won any money off of it. I'm 6'0, and I would hit the underside of the top of the frame. Not sure if you are talking about kicking the upper part of the top of the door frame or not. 10 years later, I may be able to kick the doorknob.My beliefs:Standing flat footed, I can kick the top of a standard door frame.
