In 1953 my husband was eight years old. He won a milk drinking contest in his home town.


When asked by the announcer how he managed to drink that milk so fast he truthfully answered, "Our cow went dry."

I was in a jalapeno-eating contest once at a festival.

The gag reflex kicks in surprisingly quickly.

Default How do people do these crazy food challenges?

Take for example:

Well I spent 10 years of my life as a bulimic, and during those years I could have definitely completed most of those. If you cram your digestive system full on a regular basis it will begin to stretch out to allow more food.

I don't know about 100 cheeseburgers but I used to regularly consume 10 or so as a part of my binge.

I don't eat like I use to but

I use to eat as many cheeseburgers as we could,,,, about the same amount you mentioned,,

mcdonalds had 10 cents hamburgers years ago to celebrate a milestone for them.... for a day


I bought 25 of them

and ate only 16...



I do have the family record for lobsters 14 of them and a pound of butter and a couple beers..

and I kept it down ... my brother in law was close but he got sick... and was disqualified..
(we had to hose things down)

I top-out at about 2000-calories.

Some of these people can eat an insane amount of food, impressive.

Most people love eating, myself included. But I really hate feeling even mildly full, it is just not a good feeling to me. Being bloated after a huge meal is really not worth it to me.

I can have a big appetite at times, but these challenges seem to take the fun out of eating in my opinion.

A perfect meal is the intersection between savoring the flavor and reaching satiety. Once you are hurting yourself, you have defeated the point.
