What is required by the dare 'Sorry! No substitutes'?

• A. Make a sandwich while blindfolded. Eat whatever you make.
• B. Taste a substitute ingredient.
• C. Cook a meal with substitutions.
• D. Eat a sandwich normally.

Answer: (A)

This dare is about following a strict constraint: no substitutions allowed. That means you must prepare and eat exactly what you choose for the sandwich, without swapping ingredients or adding substitutes, and you’ll do the task with your senses limited by a blindfold.

The best description of the dare is making a sandwich while blindfolded and then eating whatever you make. It enforces the rule throughout the act—from decision to consumption—so you’re tested on sticking to the chosen ingredients and completing the task as prepared.

Other options miss the constraint. Tasting a substitute ingredient implies changing what you use; cooking with substitutions also breaks the rule; and simply eating a sandwich without regard to substitutions wouldn’t demonstrate adhering to the no-substitutions requirement.
