When MamaPea attempted the Saltine Challenge – 6 saltines in 60 seconds – I knew I wanted to try it as well. I love saltines!!
What a perfect opportunity than meeting MamaPea herself at Foodbuzz this weekend. Ashley, Allie and I joined her in a rematch attempt.
See who the master chewers are!

Fabulous! What more needs said?
Felicity says
I don’t know if it’s just me, but the video stopped at 0:38. I’ll check back later. : )
Mama Pea says
Gigi just shouted, “She did really good!”
Lulu just asked, “Can I have a Saltine?”
Kath says
🙂
Jasmine @ Eat Move Write says
Lol. It SEEMS like that wouldn’t be very challenging, but apparantly it is. I’m going to have to attempt this. :p
suki @ [Super Duper Fantastic] says
Haha! Hilarious. I might have to sit myself down and give this a shot. Having braces = I salivate more than usual, so it might work out. 😛
Felicity says
Never mind, it’s working now. That was fun.
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
Mmmm love saltines!! 6 in 60 seconds is no small feat!
Ashley says
I still don’t know WHAT I was looking at!!!!!!!!! Oh this is incredible.
Halley (Blunder Construction) says
That is some serious chewing! I think I love MamaPea’s saltine-y smile at the end. Nice work, Kath, I say you did it!
Mama Pea says
I was smiling like that because my cheeks were STUFFED with Saltines. I got them all in but they weren’t going anywhere.
Claire (Low Impact Fashionista) says
I want to go try this right now! haha I love saltines 🙂
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
I am seriously impressed. I need to take this challenge again!!
[email protected] says
Alright, I’m going to have to get my own saltines and do this. This is too much fun! 🙂
Marci says
I love how Emily is encouraging y’all like my trainer tells me I only have X reps to go or put it all out there with 30 seconds left. What a mouth workout! Now I want to try.
Emily @ The Front Burner Blog says
Thanks Marci, I really tried to convey a lot of energy. 🙂
Emily @ The Front Burner Blog says
No love for the awesome videographer and commentary? 🙂
Kath says
MY BAD!! The videographer was the most talented of them all!
Sarah @ going on goals says
Haha Love it!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
Hehe this is a great challenge, and AWESOME JOB KATH!! I might have to try it out coz I love saltines too. 🙂
Grocery Goddess Jen says
My competitive streak is asking me to go try this RIGHT NOW. But I have no saltines.
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
It seems like it would be simple, but they are so dry! Good job Kath!
Nicole says
Good job Kath! You had it from the start 😉
Meg says
Finally! I have been checking your and Mama Pea’s blogs everyday (not that I don’t anyway) to see who was victorious in the Saltine Challenge. My brothers and I used to do 10 saltines in 1:30 for ours. Only one of us was ever successful. Ah, good times…
mindy @ just a one girl revolution. says
Oh I’m so trying this tonight.
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
i’m impressed! wow!
Gina says
Love it! I can’t wait to try this with my best friend 🙂
Nancy @ The Wife of a Dairyman says
As long as there’s a bottle of water handy to wash it all down:)
Dee says
Aww, I love it! What a fun challenge. I might have to try this with my brothers!!
Emma (Sweet Tooth Runner) says
I am impressed! Must. Try. Saltine. Challenge. Again. Have been inspired now! And Emily was a brilliant camera-woman and supporter! 😀
Hope says
Even just watching this made me incredibly thirsty!!
Awesome clip
A Teenage Gourmet (Sami) says
I’m impressed!
RunningOnCoffee says
Well done. I feel thirsty after watching too!
S @ extremebalance.net/blog says
I watch with one word in mind: “hiccups”. 🙂
Sophie says
Love it, but I don’t think I could do it!
Mary (What's Cookin' with Mary) says
How fun! 😀
Felicia (a taste of health with balance) says
hahaha i love this, and i am totally digging the music in the background!
Laura (Starloz) says
doesnt seem that hard but apparently, it is!
Laura says
This was fantastic.
Allie (Live Laugh Eat) says
I love the music in the background at Starbucks 🙂 Perfect.
kate says
Im glad that music was in the background, I was thinking that it was added!
[email protected] Reshape Your Life says
That’s awesome.
I somehow talked my boyfriend into doing a “Parmesan cheese” challenge… We had like 5 cheese packets from Dominos and I said “I bet you can’t eat all of these packets of cheese in 60 seconds”… He was SURE it would be easy, he barely got two before he had to quit. It’s even on video. 🙂
Hannah says
Hahah! That looks like so much fun… although I still can’t tell if anyone won! 😛
Kristy says
That is hilarious!!
Emily @ OneSweetVegan says
Way to go Kath! I say you won it. My mouth gets dry just watching all of you chewing away.
Lisa says
That’s hilarious! I love Saltines but I don’t think I could do the challenge. They make my mouth dry after 1 bite!
Erin @ the office appetite says
Hahahh this is freaking awesome!! I’m glad you posted this :):) I’ve never done that challenge, but I’d definitely say you KICKED their butts!!! 🙂
Lee says
You definitely won!
leah @ l4l says
I’m pretty sure saltines have HFCS in them.
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
WAHOO! Go you!
Natalia - a side of simple says
Haha this made my night!
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
Just 6??! I could probably eat a stack in 30 seconds. LOL 😆
Heidi - apples under my bed says
haha, love it. I want to do this now too. I think saltines are like our ‘saladas’. Done. I will do it with my man and friends tonight hehe.
Heidi xo
