    Reminds me of a Fear Factor event my Mormon church group had in which one “disgusting” feat for boys was to shave part of their legs. That particular feat was cancelled when some boys who didn’t subscribe to traditional “manly” values happily started shaving their legs for points. Unlike swallowing goldfishes, eating grasshoppers, or attempting to drink a gallon of milk, leg shaving was a step too far for church leaders.

      Fear factor event for Mormon priests is just watching guys choose to shave leg hair over eating live insects raw.

        The insects were dried protein snacks from a Boy Scout’s wilderness guide training; they were like salted sunflower seeds with the shell still on. It was the Wal-Mart goldfishes that were alive and swallowed Attack-on-Titan-style.
