The city of Cleveland is long overdue for a championship. When a championship drought surpasses 50 years, even an appearance in the NBA Finals can fail to inspire hope. One Cavaliers fan is challenging the championship despair with a particularly odd challenge. He has vowed to eat a chocolate bar that’s been kept in his freezer for 18 years if the Cavs win the title.
In my freezer for over 18 years. If @cavs win the #NBAFinals I'll eat it. @Mark25Price #cavsmania #CavsNation pic.twitter.com/hMTaG73y2x

First and foremost, who keeps a chocolate bar for 18 years? That’s a bizarre item to hold onto for such a long period of time. Nevertheless, more athletes should have their own candy bars. I would most certainly eat a Matt Barnes candy bar. Mark Price may have been a few years ahead of his time.
Speaking of Price, he responded to the challenge by encouraging someone to eat an 18-year-old candy bar. Price is still fully committed to his brand after all this time. Respect.
The taste was built to last. I hope you get to eat it! https://t.co/ExvQyC3Lto

If the Cavaliers do overcome their 1-0 deficit to win the title, the pure ecstasy should be enough to mask the unbearable stomach pain from eating an 18-year-old piece of chocolate.
