Doubles lovers will put their appetites to the ultimate test this Republic Day as the Solis Credit Doubles Eating Competition comes to Brentwood, Chaguanas. The competition, scheduled for September 24 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., will challenge contestants to eat as many doubles as possible in just three minutes. There will be two challenges. The main Doubles Challenge asks competitors one simple question: how many doubles can you finish before the three-minute clock runs out? For those who believe that is not difficult enough, organisers have added a Heavy Pepper Challenge. Contestants will again have three minutes to eat as many doubles as possible, but this time with heavy pepper. Interest in the competition has already been significant. Solis Credit said more than 100 registrations were received, with some entrants claiming they could consume as many as 20 doubles in three minutes. Registration for the individual Most Doubles in 3 Minutes category has since closed, while the Heavy Pepper Challenge remained open in the organiser’s latest update. Several companies have also come on board to support the competition, while Solis Credit has promised prizes for the winners. The prizes have not yet been revealed. The Republic Day event is also expected to feature entertainment, giveaways and activities for children and families. But the doubles will be at the centre of the action. For a food that is eaten every day across Trinidad and Tobago, the competition is about to answer a question that may have been argued among friends countless times. How many doubles can someone really eat in three minutes? On September 24, Trinidad and Tobago gets an answer.
