The Great Green Bean Challenge 2009!


Yesterday we started running Green Beans at my work! Normally, myself and most of my co-workers do not enjoy Green Bean season. So, to help us get through it, we've decided to hold a little competition amongst ourselves: The Great Green Bean Challenge (or The G.G.B.C.).

For the green bean "taste test", we have to bite 50 beans in half to make sure it isn't stringy or hard to chew. For me, this is the worst part of green beans, and I usually try to get it done as fast as I can. That prompted my co-worker Maranda and I to come up with the G.G.B.C. We're going to time ourselves whenever we do our biting test to see how fast we can go, and we'll see who the winner is at the end of August. We're also inviting some people from other shifts to join in the fun. We haven't come up with a good prize yet, though!

Hopefully, a little healthy competition will help us endure these next few weeks of green beans!
