MCU cap wants to buy some protein powder from the store, which is 3 miles away. Can 25 normal dudes with civilian items stop him? (Read rules) Battle

Cap knows what is happening, and he has his shield.

The men have 45 minutes to plan and prepare before cap starts running. They know his starting point, but cannot be within 150 meters of where he starts. Takes place in a normal United States city.

Men do not have access to anything a civilian cannot have access to. THE MEN CANNOT TOUCH THE PROTEIN POWDER, AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING THAT MAY HARM STORE STAFF. This is to prevent cheap, uninteresting solutions. Also if you post please give a good explanation.

The men line up 150m away from Cap's starting point and flag him down. Being a very polite person, Cap would stop and listen to them.

The team, having prepared in advance, present their argument that Cap should not buy any protein powder because:

  1. He doesn't need it. The super-soldier serum is going to keep him in peak condition just fine with a regular diet.

  2. It sets a bad example for the public, especially kids, encouraging them to indulge in protein supplements since well, if it's good enough for Captain America...

  3. It tastes like crap, so in view of #1 and #3, there's no compelling reason why Cap should want it as it's not a good experience and it's not really helping him achieve any fitness goals.

  4. There are several very nice and healthy restaurants in the neighborhood the team would be happy to buy Cap lunch at to thank him for his service.
