A group of people participated in a "try not to eat" challenge, where they were presented with popular foods from the TV show Friends, recreated by a chef. The challenge was to resist eating the foods, and if they succeeded, they would be rewarded with a special treat. However, if they failed, they would be punished with a less desirable food. The participants were presented with several dishes, including Phoebe's grandmother's famous chocolate-chip cookies, Joey's meatball sub, Ross's Thanksgiving leftover sandwich, and Rachel's cheesecake. Some participants managed to resist the temptation, while others gave in. The reward for those who succeeded was Monica's famous candy, while the punishment for those who failed was Rachel's infamous beef trifle.
