What Doomsday Dynamite challenge requires
The rules are simple, and a little familiar: Finish 10 ultra-spicy wings, eat fire fries, and drink a beverage, complete everything within 10 minutes, leave only clean bones behind, and those who fail must pay R174.99, while successful challengers walk away without having to pay. The challenge is typically only available on Wednesdays at select branches, including Gateway.
