A 'Fear Factor' food truck appeared in Sydney's Circular Quay, which provided consumers with a daring selection of dishes to promote the MTV revival of the competitive reality series.
Dishes were complimentary for those brave enough to chow down, and ranged from spiced chicken hearts to possum skewers and sheep testicles. In addition to testing their taste buds, fans of the series were offered the opportunity to meet popular MTV VJ Sam Taunton. The event, which lasted just one day, served as an entertaining iteration of the show's branding, which involves pushing contestants to their mental and physical limits.
The show's former host Joe Rogan will be replaced by American rapper and actor Ludacris in the revival of the series.
