Origin
On the 7 December a Weetabix eating competition took place in the upper common room. This competition arose after a challenge by Sam Boaden that he could eat more Weetabix than Danny Surgeon. The scale of the competition grew until there was nine entrants in total. Original estimates were that the average person would eat no more than about twelve 'biscuits', this led to the purchase of one hundred and twenty weetabix and some five litres of milk.
