Tea Dueling
​Tea Dueling is back! The intensity is high and the competition is fierce. Are you in!?! Sign up at the expo. We are holding Tea Duels twice a day both days of the Vermont Steampunk Expo with 10 patrons per event.
Never heard of Tea Dueling? The rules are relatively simple. The duel is a contest of wills between two competitors.
  1. Each competitor is provided a cup of tea and their choice of a Pepperidge Farm Chessmen cookie.
  2. The competitors must hold the cookie in a two-fingered hold. Any two fingers may be used.
  3. When instructed to dunk, the competitors must submerge at least 75% of the cookie in the tea for a count of five and then pull the cookie out of the drink. This is where the duel begins!
  4. The Winner is the last person to cleanly eat the entire cookie without it breaking or falling apart. One elbow is allowed on the table as a steadying mechanism, but competitors may not use gravity to achieve their goal.
May the best dunker win!
