Before there was fear factor on TV and before reality TV was even around. You have our family.
In 1998, our family started a new gift giving tradition that some people call "White Elephant". Its basically a pool of gifts and each person draws a number. The first person chooses a gift and is stuck with it, but the next person may steal their gift or pick another. The last person is in the best position.
Most of the gifts this year were pretty decent. Barb, (Christmas Boss) just by chance got a couple of really crappy gifts and joke gifts. One of which was some S.P.A.M and some pickled pigs feet.
Well after that I think my brother and my Uncle Dennis talked about how he would eat them for money.
This soon turned into all of the Brat Patrol (Me, Noel , Kevin , and Dan ) wanting a bunch of money to eat the pickled pigs feet.
I am sure some people really eat these things, but they stink like formaldahyde and vinegar or something like that.
And the rest of the story is just history. After this incident, we always call this game the "gag" "gift" game. Enjoy the video if you are into that kind of fear factor type stuff.
P.S. I better get at least 3 recollections from Dan Kevin and Noel
