Return to Home PageFood fights – we’ve all heard of them, some of us have even participated in a few. This book provides an overview of food fights, showing that they are more than just messy business. Anyone looking for a healthy dose of laughter and a good idea for the next family event will love this book.
The book begins with a walk through of the stages of a food fight, all the way from initiation (how does this mess get started anyway?) to the bedlam of a full-fledged food fight, and the wind down that happens naturally. A spaghetti dinner provides the perfect conduit for understanding food fight stages.
Next comes a study of different properties of foods for throwing – is it better to be equipped with several smaller items or can a few well-placed blows with larger items become a deciding factor? Using the range and diversity of baking goods as a platform, several versus matches illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of thrown foods in terms of velocity, range, dispersion, and overall effectiveness.
There are a contingent of classic moves most people are familiar with, including pies and cakes to the face. These tried and true favourites are showcased with a range of ages, proving food fights are fun for everyone.
No food fight is complete without some personality. There are several ways of behaving in a food fight, each with their own pros and cons. What’s your food fight style? Do you lean towards the range and accuracy of the Sniper, preferring to hang back and peg opponents quickly, or is the brazenness and risk of the Kamikaze more your style? With marshmallows used to provide consistency and focus solely on the personalities, several food fight personalities are described.
The book culminates with an outdoor BBQ food fight, showcasing various moves. From The Dodge, to the Tag Team, and the ever popular diet cola and mints, even seasoned food fighters will learn a trick or two to implement in their next food-based battle royale!
