funnel
Explanation:
I think you are right.
I would imagine a funnel (similar to those used in a science lab) is placed into the contestants mouth, whilst lying down, and they have to swallow down the liquid as quickly as possible.
A bit like the various forms of drinking games popular on Ibiza holidays!

sorry for the portuguese - have to pay more attention

If they really do pour honey or slushie concentrat down the person\'s throught it could result in a serious sugar imbalance in the person\'s system and the person would suffer at least a fainting episode. I once drank a glaass of honey and almost passed out - and I am not a diagetic.
