SNACK TIME: The Gauntlet Challenge is a bad idea, DIY meat undergarments, Pizza Hut gets you engaged, pics of chocolate eaters, veggies as art, and dangerous animal eating

- This video is supposed to show a guy completing the "Gauntlet Challenge," which requires you to consume six habaneros, 15 Warheads, two packs of Mentos (while drinking Diet Coke), a tablespoon of cinnamon and a gallon of milk. This video, in actuality, shows a guy chewing real loud and puking everywhere. Fun stuff.

- Want to get your sweetie something real special for Valentine's Day but just don't have the money? We've got a solution for you: make underwear out of beef jerky! Great idea or greatest idea?

- If you're not into the briefs-made-from-jerky scene but still really want to show how much you care, why not purchase the Engagement Party Package from Pizza Hut? For $10,000, they're pulling out all the stops: a limo, a ring, flowers, fireworks, a photographer, a videographer ... and a Pizza Hut dinner box. If she doesn't say yes to THAT, tell her it's over, man.

- No meat undies and no Pizza Hut diamond for you? You're probably feeling a little blue. Why not eat some chocolate (it's said to boost your mood) while looking at a bunch of weird stock photos of people eating chocolate?

- Brock Davis, a photographer from Minneapolis, still plays with his food, but it's the sake of art. Here he's recreated three infamous explosions in world history using cauliflower.

- Here's a GIF of a vicious animal having a snack.
