Welcome to the first annual At-home Faux-lympics

(Rule 40 compliance, JIC), sponsored by Picky Bars

Compete at home for a chance to win!

This year's games will be decided by one event... comprised of five different events! The Picky Pentathlon!

  1. 50 foot Bag-on-head Dash (run 50 feet as fast as you can while balancing a bag of Picky Granola or Oatmeal on your head)
  2. Bar Hop (standing long jump, measured in Picky Bars)
  3. Granola Shot Put (shot put - yes, with a spin! - a bag of Picky Granola or Oatmeal)
  4. Off-hand Bar Javelin (throw a Picky Bar with your non-dominant hand as far as you can with a straight arm)
  5. The Hoover (eat a Picky Bar as fast as you can - timer starts once you start opening the wrapper, stops once swallowed)

    *note* Picky Bars, Granola, and Oatmeal are the standard weights and measures for the events, but substitutions are allowed within reasonable size / weight similarities. If you need product to do your Pentathlon, of course you can pick some up here.

    🏆 LEADERBOARD

    View the current standings below. Score is totaled by the super complicated and robust formula below:

    [ (feet of javelin) + (feet of shot put) + (2 x Picky Bars Jumped) + (50 - Dash Seconds) + (120 - Hoover Seconds) ] x 4

    So basically 1000 is close to "perfect" score.

    *NOTE* - Leaderboard refreshes every 15 min or so, check back after inputting your score to see where you rank!

    CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED

    We'll be announcing winners soon!
