This is something we made up, but it is the tastiest challenge you’ll ever face. Include garlic in every meal throughout the day! The entire day will pass without anyone kissing you, but it’s alright because you’ll eat well at every meal. (Plus, was anyone going to kiss you anyway? Keeping it genuine.)
