The Competition was Stiff and the Video Footage Funny

Minute to Win It for Charity at Roadkill Bar is growing popular fast. A big crowd came out to support Monday night’s charity the Belize Red Cross San Pedro Branch.

How it Works

Over the course of the night, contestants compete in seemingly simple challenges, based on the hit TV show. Using everyday items to complete the challenges in hopes of skipping elimination and moving on to the next round. Participants that did not complete a challenge were able to donate more money to charity and buy back into the next one for $2.

With every $10 entry contestants get a free Travelers rum drink. Because I’m still happily on the wagon they let me have a water instead. I can honestly say that having only water did not sharpen my ability to complete the challenges any better and I was one of the people that had to buy back in after the first round. 🙂

This Week’s Games

Puddle Jumper, Face the Cookie, Mochaccino (sponsored by Caye Coffee), Stick the Landing, Rapid Fire (sponsored by Island Time Brewing Company), Dizzy Mummy, Back Flip, How’s it Hanging and the last game to determine the winner, Nutstacker.

First Elimination Challenge

Puddle Jumper was not so easy, but many managed to do at least part of it. We had to blow 3 ping-pong balls from one cup of water to another with increasing distance between each one.

Face the Cookie, Mochaccino and Stick the Landing were up next.

This time around the cookie challenge was extremely funny as Ryan’s pop up win in the first round got contestants to try all kinds of crazy moves. Wade was also very amusing with his “cookie convulsions” to get it unstuck from his forehead which you will see in the video below. Was it luck or was it Skill? Kendall got to stick the landing right off the bat, so I say a bit of both since I am guessing this was his first time doing that challenge. Other contestants would agree it is not so easy to throw a mostly full 1-liter water bottle and have it land upright. The last pictures show Amy’s excitement after completing the Mochaccino challenge. There are some funny bits of that in the video too.

Moving onto: Rapid Fire, Dizzy Mummy, Back Flip and How’s it Hanging.

I did not even bother to buy in for Rapid Fire because I could not shoot a well-aimed rubber band to save my life last week 🙂 A few people did pretty well at this one and host Jason who joined in for fun even knocked all the cans off the stool. Kendall took the prize for this one – a 6 pack from Island Time Brewing Company. Dizzy Mummy was a new one to me and I liked it so much I added 2 clips to the video. Loved watching everyone race to mummify themselves in toilet paper without breaking it from the roll. I did not get pics of Back Flip, challenge where they had to rest an increasing number of pencils on the back of their hand and do a flip and catch. Got some good video of that though. How’s it Hanging was the entry challenge last week and this time it was one of the last games. Still funny as ever watching contestants try to knock oranges into a hula-hoop with a Banana tied around their waist, hanging between their legs.

Chef Jeff from Casa Picasso and Amy from Texas were the final contestants in competition for some great prizes. The grand prize Caye Coffee flavored rum cake made by Wade the Gringo, a bottle of Travellers and $50 in Roadkill bucks. Runner-up wins $50 at Sandbar Hostel.

I do not know how they manage to keep their hands so steady while stacking metal nuts on the side off of a chopstick but they did it. Amy won the grand prize and headed back to Coco Beach with a smile on her face. Chef Jeff runner-up will get to enjoy a famous Sandbar pizza and a cocktail or whatever he chooses from their menu.

Sponsored Game Prizes

Kaitlin McWhorter, for Project Abroad, did the fastest Mochaccino time and got the Caye Coffee. Kendall Beymer, Ecologic Divers shot elastics and knocked over all the cans, but had one on his stool. He got a 6 pack from Island Time Brewing Company.

Total Raised

Thanks to Roadkill Bar for donating to Belize Red Cross San Pedro Branch; $185. The amount of fun had that night; priceless.

Thanks to Roadkill Bar for hosting the event for a different charity every week and to all the great prize sponsors this week. Travellers Rum, Caye Coffee Roasting Co. Ltd, Island Time Brewing Company, Sandbar San Pedro, and Wade the Gringo.

Video Footage and Next Week’s Details

Watch the video below to see how much fun you can have Monday nights at 7:00 pm and don’t forget to bring your friends. It is always for a great cause.

In honor of American Thanksgiving, Roadkill Bar is doing Minute to Win it for the San Pedro Food Bank on Monday, November 23rd. Game host Jason is encouraging everyone to bring canned food or other nonperishable items to donate.

Games will not be announced ahead of time, but if you want to win next week, practice Minute to Win it at home. Just go to That Blue Print Guy on YouTube and use this weeks list of games and the ones from last week Minute to Win it for Charity as a starting point.

If you are looking for things to do in San Pedro, Roadkill Bar is a great choice anytime. If you do not believe me check out their burger reviews – Wade has the golden formula right 😉 and the fries are always crispy.

I will leave you with a few pictures of my burger and the bar.

Love Taco Girl Blog @LaurieNorton! I've been reading this blog since I started visiting Ambergris Caye in Belize almost... 10 years ago. It is filled with helpful up-to-date information and recommendations that I wouldn't necessarily find on my own. Laurie Norton's knowledge and extensive network on the island provides her with the ability to share perks/discounts/coupons with her readers, which come in handy year after year. Things on the island change daily - new businesses pop up constantly and LaurieNortonstays on top of these developments. Whenever I plan my return trip to the island, I always check her blog first - and I recommend you do the same. Trip Advisor ain't got nuttin' on Taco Girl!read more

Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s... always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. There is so much information it's amazing! Thank you Laurie!!!read more

I’m so pleased to see tacogirl's blog on Google. Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and... local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. I especially enjoy her guest articles, providing a different perspective of all things San Pedro. Her tipping quide is a classic, and don’t forget her Tropic Air flight code and on-island discounts. You’re not up-to-date with what’s going on in San Pedro if you’re not regularly reading tacogirl's blog.read more

Do yourself a favor. Read this BEFORE any trip to San Pedro - Ambergris Caye or Belize in general. Not saying “do... what everyone else says”, but Laurie has frank and honest info which will make your stay in country a little more fun, a little more informative, and often at a great cost savings. Best thing: it’s unbiased, honest, and factual. Personal note: thank you for your personal tailored help in answering mine (and my wife’s) questions.read more

Taco Girl (Laurie) is amazing. She has so much knowledge about Belize and has great connections with many of the... businesses in Belize. Because of her connections she is able to offer many perks and discounts that you wouldn't have been able to find otherwise. She is super responsive and I always go to her for all my travel needs. From golf cart rentals, to spas, to places to eat. She's got the inside scoop on all!read more
