Now In: When is fun stuff going on?
The 2008 Traveling Medicine Show Schedule!
Stay tuned for our tasting schedule at Natural Food emporiums in your neighborhood!!!!
ALSO, we will be expanding our presence at local ski resorts this winter..... nothing better than a hot toddy and cheesy bean dip after an afternoon on the slopes.....
Don't forget to ask us at the Medicine Show Tent about the Saltine Cracker Eating Challenge. That's right if you can eat just 6 Saltines in a minute (that's only 1 every 10 seconds) you will win FABULOUS prizes. Our current Saltine Cracker Challenge Champ is "Big" Ben C. from the Worcester, MA environs. Ben is a saliva producing machine and he holds the 'official' Uncommon Condiment record of consuming 7 Saltines in a minute! Practice at home and then take your talents on the road!!! FINE PRINT: All challengers will refrain from consuming any liquid beverage during the contest. Challengers must present a clean tongue at the conclusion of the allotted 60 seconds. 'Fabulous prizes' will be determined by the "Good Doctor" at the time of the challenge. Choking will not be tolerated at any time during the challenge. Just kidding, have fun but be safe. Thanks.
