Are you up for a little gastronomic challenge? Well, folks at the Sahara Casino’s NASCAR cafe (in Vegas, of course) are betting you can’t finish off their new 6-pound $19.95 Bomb Burrito--similar in size to the one pictured here--in one sitting. And if you can’t, you have to get your photo snapped wearing a tiny pink “Weenie” tee shirt.

If, however, you master the Bomb, you get the culinary extravaganza at no charge--along with a congratulatory t-shirt and--wait for it--2 passes for unlimited rides on the forward-and-back Sahara ‘Speed’ roller coaster. What could possibly go wrong?
