Eating the Vending Machine (NSR)

[JMO]

Not possible. Waaaaay too much food. Two bites into the second Snicker's and he'll be gonzo.

I once ate five plates of spaghetti for a week's worth of shower change at a hostel in Interlaken. Didn't puke but, man, skiing the next morning was a tough one.

[InspectorGadget]

I wouldn't want to do it. But given 16 1/2 hours to nibble away on junk food, I'd bet most of us could. Though you'd likely never want to cast eyes on some of those food items again.



Is there any order of operations or does he have everything piled in front of him to eat at his leisure?

Wisdom, right there.

That's like 50 candy items alone. 4 an hour. Just candy. I dunno.

It sounds like this guy has way too much free time at work.

You should bring him here to TGR, He'll fit right in.




I'd bet on his side, BTW.

bump for results

Did he finish it?

[JMO]

So when does this guy start chowing down? There may be side bets taking place over here.

[snow_slider]

My bet is that he can do it.

Here's a good sucker bet - bet someone that they can't eat 1 slice of Wonder (or other white type) bread in 1 minute. Sounds easy, but most people can't do it.

For the record, I took the bet and got the pool of betters to triple the money if I could eat 2 slices in a minute. I walked away with quite a bit of money in my pocket that day.

I think this makes or breaks the bet. Chewing the flavor out of a pack of gum takes a sh*tload of time. Also depends on the kind of gum. Chewing a pack of bubblicious will put more miles on jawstrength than trident. Jaw fatigue could come into play towards the end of the day...

I didn't quite puke, but it was one of the least pleasant things I've ever done.

I say no way can he do it.

"Standard Practice at TGR, have as many distractions as possible"

lets get a pic of the challenge and the challenger.

[Zittel]

The attempt will take place tomorrow.

I am not at the site, but I will see if I can get pictures from those who will have intimate knowledge of the attempt.

Gum does not have to be swallowed, but chewed "convincingly." Breath mints must be ingested.

I don't know if you guys listen to ESPN radio but last week on the dan patrick show co host Rob Dibble and producer Phil the Show killer had a Mc Nugget race. Heres how it went down:

50 Mc Nuggets a piece with the sauce of choice.

They were on a ten minute clock.

No Drinks allowed

Dibble put down 45 Mc Nuggets in 10 minutes and Phil the Showkiller put down 25.

But the brilliance came from Dibble as he chose no sauce while Showkiller chose BBQ.

Dibble finished all 50 in under 13 minutes.

2100 calories sans sauce.

Sorry to get people worked up about this, but the "eating contest" ended with a whimper.

Details are fuzzy, but it appears two co-workers on the "no way" end of the bets intercepted the vending machine re-filler on his weekly rounds and "incentivised" him to load the machine to their liking.

Only Sour Cream & Onion in the chip sections;
Only Snickers in the candy sections;
Only Pop-Tarts in the cookie sections;
and only peppermint in the mints/gum section.

Contestant looked at vending machine, said "no f'ing way" and walked away.

Seems that the contest never started. Sorry about that.

Curious to hear results.

Went to school with a kid who would eat anything.
examples;
Horsey-sauce, the horseraddish stuff at Arby's, he inhaled a bottle of the stuff with nothing to drink in 3 minutes, for a dollar. It was disgusting.

For those of you who have been to the Durango Diner, the kid finished 2 Kitchen Sinks. Stipulation was 1hr, and nothing to drink.
Ingredients:
KITCHEN SINK OMELET (Ham, Cheese, Green Pepper, Onions and Tomatoes, topped with green chili or gravy)
I have a hard time getting one down, basically he won nothing we paid for both of them.

The football team had an eat-off with cheeseburgers, I don't remeber how many but he out-ate every kid on the team, weighing in at a whopping 130 pounds.

Some people can put the shit away, I don't know where it goes, but it goes.

When I was at university in Bournemouth a bunch of us penniless students used to fast all day and then hit Pizza Hut's buffet to see how much pizza we could do them out of.

I was the king of the Hawaiians and my record was 24 slices of deep pan (no cheating and leaving the crusts). A friend of mine, in an attempt to steal my crown, passed out on his stool after 18 wedges. He just got progressively redder and sweatier as he stuffed more into his slavering cakehole and finally hit the carpet. I later asked what the most anyone had tucked away at one sitting was and the waitress reckoned one big bloater had managed 67 slices in an all day session.

What I found equally amazing was that one of the students - who could incidentally manage a good fifteen slices - later became the face of Hugo Boss. I present Karen Ferrari, Queen of the Pepperoni Sausage...

at a restuarant outside of bethlehem, pa during college some friends assemebled for a bulk eating challenge. my roomate was going head-to-head against a kid who was renowned for his eating and easily fifty pounds lighter.

the duel: the ol' 96'er steak

the smaller kid (who was on the wrestling team) destroyed his really quickly, while my roomate, who tips the scales way past 200 pounds, asked for his to be cooked a bit more when he hit a section that was basically still raw. he then suffered for at least an hour and almost passed out before finishing.

our entire group ordered steaks, and let me tell you... it is a majestic thing to witness over 25 pounds of sizzling beef delivered to a table all at once.

One of the places I used to wrok there was this kid on a football team that would eat anything, and I mean anything. I have witnessed him eating a live dragonfly. It landed on the back of one of the players during a practice, he caught it and then announced "hey you guys want to see me eat this?" Of course he had a reputation for eating stuff so a crowd gathered and in it went, he chewed it for almost 10 seconds before swallowing it. after he remarked "it kind of tatsed like grass."

Same kid on a separate incident at football practice in the rain, splashes down in a mud puddle, inserts 2 fingers into the mud and scoops up a wad of nasty looking mud and procedes to suck the mud from his fingers until clean.

Same kid who scooped a goldfish out of a kids tank, bit it in half swallowed and threw the other half back in.

Same kid who about 3 or four days after a school spring fling kind of thing found some orange jello with grapes in it that had been dumped down a grassy bank near the football practice field. He comes into the training room to ask for a paper cup, and me thinking he was going to get some water gives him one. 5 minutes later he comes back in slurping orange jello and grapes out of the cup, seriously this stuff had been sitting on the ground in the sun for a couple days.

He should be on fear factor, he would be great at it.
