Like most absurdities around the office, this one started with Spivey claiming he could eat eight tacos from Taco Bell. This time, we took him up on his offer.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
To sweeten the deal for spectators, and to ensure Spivey’s participation, Heather made it into a challenge. She would go 1-for-1 with him on Tacos. <\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
In other words, Spivey got served.<\/div>\n
