Drink All the Vinegar | Full Task | Taskmaster's New Year Treat

[@blackdragoncyrus]

Finding the correct glass, only for it slip out of your fingers and have it spill everywhere has to be one of the most tragic things I have ever seen.

For those wondering why one person is missing. “Sadly, Jonnie was unable to attend the studio recording due to illness, so was represented by Taskmaster series 12 contestant Alan Davies instead.”

I was disappointed; I saw him sitting in the studio and thought we'd get to see him so the challenge!

[@cre8tivbiz]

I was literally thinking that I was losing my mind! Thank you!

[@MontyMonferno]

jonnie’s approach to this task (checking under the table, looking for clues around the room, noticing the 85’s around the room etc) shows he’s clearly a fan of the show. such a shame that he wasn’t able to take part in the studio segments (even though it was nice to see Alan again)

[@bigsmall246]

What happened to him that resulted in them swapping him out for Alan?

[@MontyMonferno]

they just said that he was unwell at the time and therefore couldn't make it to the recording!

"I drank the bastard vinegar" is the best quote from this special

[@AkuraTheAwesome]

The sincerity with which lines like this are delivered on Taskmaster is wonderful.

[@darksunrise957]

My first thought when I saw all the shot glasses was: Run to the kitchen, grab a box of baking soda, and shake it liberally over all of the shot glasses. Even if there's more than one glass that fizzes up like a volcano, it should at least narrow it down significantly. Plus, baking soda's edible, so it's still fine to drink a bit inside the vinegar, if possibly a bit unpleasant.

[@HyattHyatt3179]

If too many of the fizz up you will have an uncomfortable time sometime later in the day. It's edible but it's not recommended for consumption on it's own

[@hjt091]

Between all three women giving up mere moments before finding the correct glass and Jonnie spilling the vinegar, I think this is the most upsettingly tragic task in the series. So far, as Alex would say

[@JB-tx6wt]

Just wanted to point out that the person saying they have nearly no sense of smell was able to pinpoint the general direction of the vinegar and find it, while the person claiming to have a great sense of smell couldn't find the vinegar despite being almost directly on top of it.

[@SirGofres]

It's very common. Humble, aware people tend to downplay and level everything. Insecure, boastful people try to put themselves over others in strange ways every occasion they have, to stroke their ego. And they exaggerate a lot.

[@85Portar]

@@SirGofres Could also have been *because* of his bad smell the vinegar stands out more since it's a stronger smell.

AcTuAlLy 🤓if alcohol beverages are spoilt they can also contain vinegar, so basically you had to drink all alcoholic shots another actually: fruit juice like apple juice often contains around 0.1% alcohol, so since it contains alcohol, there is also a slight possibility to have vinegar in it, so basically you had to drink all juice shots too

Great for finding it-but drinking it after would be a lot more disgusting, assuming it all even stayed in the glass.

​@@thecommexokidyou'd just add a small sprinkle to each glass, and drink what it reacts with, anything with a bit of acid would react The result of baking soda and vinegar is mostly water and carbon dioxide Other acidic things though, I'm not sure
