Tonight Whataburger will welcome the Pace and Milton High School bands to face off as friendly rivals in a battle of heat resistance for a good cause from 5 to 7 p.m. at Pace Whataburger. Three representatives chosen by each rival team will compete against one another to see which team can consume the most jalapeños in 60 seconds. The winning team will win a $1,000 donation. Additionally, the team that brings the most fans to the event will also win $500 for their school. To add to the fun, there will be a special drum line performance and Whataburger’s mascot, Whataguy, will be in attendance.
“Jalapeños are a signature topping at Whataburger, and we’re thrilled to spice things up with a fair, spirited competition that provides the Pace and Milton High School bands a unique way to help invest in their schools,” said Whataburger Director of Operations Lee Cartledge. “We wish both teams the best of luck in this brief, yet intense, contest and we’ll be ready to serve them with a large, cold beverage as soon as it’s over!”
