I’m in San Pedro on Ambergris Caye in Belize. I heard about an interesting activity that they do on Thursday nights at Wahoo’s Lounge called Chicken Drop. At first I thought, why in the world would you drop a chicken? It turns out the dropping is different from what I expected.
Before the chickens arrive you can spent one dollar to place a bet on a numbered square. A single chicken is then put into the arena and we all wait for it to poop on the floor. If it poops on your number then you win $100 (most likely as a bar tap).
If the chicken does not feel like relieving itself then a backup chicken is called for, and so forth until there is a winner. There is a whole ritual around it where you shake the chicken first or blow on its behind. Apparently this helps!
If you are in San Pedro on a Thursday then you should check it out.
Keep in mind that if you are invited to a cock fight it’s probably not what you are hoping for … it involves chickens.
