This is the Carnival Scam Bar Hang Challenge at the Manasonica Pier, where I learned the hard way that this game is rigged. At first I thought it'd be super easy because it's only a 120 second dead hang for a quick $100 cash. Like, I've done a dead hang for 15 minutes in the past. How hard can it be? Well, the bar actually spins, which makes this challenge a million times harder. They've even gone as far as making it illegal to clasp your thumbs underneath your fingers.
So it was around this point where I realized I literally couldn't fail because a pretty big crowd had formed to watch the guy from Challengers beat this challenge. And it was also around this time where I learned about the real scam involved with this version of the spinning bar hang challenge. So I already knew that the small, medium, and large prizes for 45, 75, and 90 seconds were progressively larger stuffed animals. But I just assumed this secret jumbo prize was $100 similar to all the other bar hang
spots. Like what do you mean I only get a giant bouncy ball if I win? Like what do you mean I only get a giant bouncy ball if I win? Whatever, I toughed it out anyway and this better be the best bouncy ball ever created.
