America, fuck yeah!

At the start of the video the announcer is holding a bin of bacon that he claims is 5 lbs of bacon, and it's obviously cooked. During the eating contest, if you pause the video when they show the close up of her grabbing another handful, it appears that she is eating 5 lbs of raw bacon. Please tell me that I need new glasses.

Can't be. Sometimes bacon can look raw. I ordered a pizza with the works recently and the bacon looked raw on it, but it was hot having been in an oven.

That would be a liability as trichinosis would be a huge risk.

"In the world I see you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Towers. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying stripes of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway." T Durden

do these competitive eaters go have a bulimic relief session after the podium? 5 pounds of half-chewed whatever poking along in your gut for a whole day after, blech.

never understood those arrow ear piercing things that all the cool kids have these days. Must be getting old. In any event, she is gonna have one gnarly turd. Unless she purges. Which is possible I guess.

That can't be good for you.

Seems like it would be hard to maintain 116 lbs. if she keeps eating like that.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It is highly unlikely that she eats like that often.

8 days worth of sodium all at once..... I feel sorry for her kidneys

I just can't imagine what would be coming out of her body a day or two after doing this.

The stomach cramps must be incredible. Maybe she just chases the whole thing with a pint of pepto?

Long Chile was a silly place.

The amazing thing to me is that the really good eaters that I've seen (I haven't seen that many) are all small. If you saw a 400 pound man doing this you'd say, "yeah, of course". But these little women (no offense) can put some food away. Where they put it I have no idea.

There is no way she bothers to digest all of that. After the cameras are off and people go home, that is all getting purged.

Amazing that she doesn't even chew. She swallows 3 inch diameter gobs of it like a snake.

I watched the annual 4th of July hotdog eating contest a few times. It's nasty gross and quite a spectacle.

Sadly, it's beyond just an American Fuck Yeah kind thing. These competitive eaters come from all over the world. I suspect we do have more home grown ones in fatty americaville. It's gross.

I will say that Kobashi (or whatever his name is, the guy who won several of the hotdog eating contests) tore his shirt off on the podium before the event and had a well defined six pack. After eating some 60 hotdogs, he took his shirt off again and you could still see pretty solid abs poking out behind all those half chewed pig assholes.

I suspect they puke later, but if I recall, there is an actual set time they have to wait before they "get to."

i just heard from an informed source that you *can* vomit during an eating contest and stay in the running, as long as you keep it in your mouth.

The rule is defined as "If you heave, you leave" so I guess if you CAN "keep it to yourself" you can keep going

Yeah, good luck with that

She ate 3 72 ounce steaks (plus sides) at the Big Texan in Amarillo.... in 20 minutes

" Molly Schuyler scarfed down three 72-ounce steaks, three baked potatoes, three side salads, three rolls and three shrimp cocktails -- far outpacing her heftier rivals.
That's more than 13 pounds of steak, not counting the sides. And she did it all in 20 minutes, setting a record in the process.
"We've been doing this contest since 1960, and in all that time we've never had anybody come in to actually eat that many steaks at one time," Bobby Lee, who co-owns the Big Texan, told CNN affiliate KVII. "So this is a first for us, and after 55 years of it, it's a big deal.""

Sounds like a feat accomplished by Marilyn Chambers

Deep throat?

Dr. Adkins approves.

Exactly.

That can't be good for you.


Yeah but she has a world record.
