Attempting to create the perfect punishment for the loser of a fantasy football league is a tall task. With so many popular trends having swept the internet in previous years, it can be hard to get out of that creative bubble that leads you back to sitting in a Waffle House for 24 hours. And yet, every year, several new and creative ways surface on social media, many of them deserving a tip of the cap.
For one man, he found out that creative ideas still flow just fine among many fantasy football players, as someone in his league came up with the idea of bringing the 1969 children's book The Very Hungry Caterpillar, written by Eric Carle, into the mix.
The book includes a caterpillar who, you guessed it, is very hungry. So, the fantasy football loser, apparently a man named John from Chicago (courtesy of Bro Bible), had to dress like the caterpillar and eat the lengthy list of foods below. A special shoutout to his wife, who captured the incredible moment on TikTok.
WARNING: The video below features some NSFW language.
As the story goes, the caterpillar consumes an incredible amount of food and then turns into a butterfly. The list includes:
- An apple
- Two pears
- Three plums
- Four strawberries
- Five oranges
- A piece of chocolate cake
- An ice cream cone
- A pickle
- A slice of Swiss cheese
- A slice of salami
- A lollipop
- A piece of cherry pie
- A sausage
- A cupcake
- A slice of watermelon
- A nice green leaf
Kudos to this man for taking his fantasy football punishment like a champ, full costume and all. This surely won't be the last incredible idea that surfaces from the fantasy football world of post-worthy punishments.
