When staying at a buffet all day (in order to get the most out of the all-you-can-eat premise), a parfait race usually ensues as a form of combatting intense bordom. First, two buffet patrons take the least palatable food item available (the warm jell-o and old whipped cream parfait cup). Next, the racers eat the disgusting parfait as fast as they can. Nobody really wins, everybody loses, except the people watching.
