With the $x to do y topics, I thought this might be fun. Just state how much you would want to be paid to do whatever is in the title.

RULES
-Be specific when voting! Give me an actual dollar amount or explicitly say that you'd reject the offer. It helps me with tallying and calculating.
-1 vote, no alts, blah blah, you have until whenever I put the next topic up to vote (at least 24 hours)
-Give the minimum amount you want in US dollars and cents, "free," "no deal," and negative amounts are acceptable (which means you'll pay, instead of someone paying you). Google is good for currency conversion (search "1000 Euro to USD" without quotes, for example).
-Read the stipulations every time for any rules/information that are for the particular topic. Only I can add/remove/change them later as needed.
-You can nominate 3 things per day. You can write your own stipulations or have me take care of it.
-Ask me (or the original nominator) about stipulations if you need more information.

Today's Offer: Give up your favorite food forever.
In other words, let's say that your favorite food is cake and you accept this offer. Want to have your cake and eat it too? Too bad. You can have your cake but you can't eat your cake. EVER! Happy future birthdays, but enjoy the money.
(Yes, I know what that phrase really means, you're not cool if you correct me)

STIPULATIONS FOR THE OFFER:
1. You will never be able to eat your favorite food again. Eating it INTENTIONALLY will result in you needing to give back the money immediately
2. You will give up a type of food, not a specific food. For example, you would give up all burgers and not just Big Macs, and you would give up all steak and not just medium-rare steak.
3. Ingredients in other foods are not included in the ban, unless they're a reason why you'd eat something. Example: If you give up chocolate, you CANNOT eat chocolate chip cookies (the chocolate is a reason to eat chocolate chip cookies). If you give up eggs, you CAN eat chocolate chip cookies (the eggs in the cookie dough aren't the reason why you'd eat the cookies)

Name Your Price!

Give up eggs? Forever???

Reject.

Not only are they fantastic on they're own, they are also a component in many pastries and sweets I simply cannot do without. Giving up eggs also means giving up the best breakfasts, cookies, and cakes unless I use some sort of egg substitute, which... no. Just no.

Oh.

Giving up eggs does not mean giving up cookies and cakes, as it's not really the reason why you'd eat them. You would not be able to eat eggs for breakfast (scrambled, omelets, in a sandwich, etc.), but eggs in baked things is fine.

EDIT: Nevermind. >_>

Depends.

If it's just the cut of the steak, then I guess 10k and switch to Filet over Sirloin then and watch it cover the price.

If it's Steak in general, I'll have to go with 100k.

I think it would realistically take 75,000 dollars for me to give up Ribs for the rest of my life.


And I'm not sure that almost feels like a lot to ask for to stop eating one single type of food.

But on the other hand I ****ing love ribs and so I'd damn well better be appropriately compensated.



Oddly enough, this makes me glad that my favorite food isn't pizza, because despite not being my favorite food that might be harder to give up.

The problem is my food (chicken) is in so many things where it is the point of the dish, so I was tempted to reject, but let's be serious - not eating a food? I'd do that. My price is $750,000.

Nominate:
-Post a video Let's Play of your third least favorite game to completion.
-Swim the English Channel.
-You are given an option to find out the exact moment you'll die. You can not alter this fate, nor can you tell anyone about this information.
