Rice Cakes

In Sheffield some random homemade stickers were, well, stuck around the town declaring:

Come to Weston Park bandstand on Friday 25th of July at 2:45pm to see two people attempt to eat a whole pack of dry/salted rice cakes each in under 30 minutes.

Sean Morley wrote in Now Then Mag that:

The rice cake eating event is the true face of northern performance art. A radical vision of recession entertainment, it’s literally only advertised to pedestrians, a comment on consumerism and the advertisement culture projecting corporate interests onto every empty space in the city environment. You can project anything you like onto the rice cake eating event. It’s the tabula rasa for a fevered mind. It is both seed and soil. It is rich with nothing.

Well Friday 25th of July happened, and while I wasn’t in Sheffield to see it, it has now been documented for all. It’s wonderfully silly and more people should do silly things without some ulterior motive.
