    fwiw the people who accomplish shit like this are generally never obese, thats why an 85 pound japanese guy dominates the competitive eating scene. the fat acts like a belt around the stomach.


    nothing in this guys pic leads me to belief he will enjoy any advantages whatsoever in this wager.

    In Cool Hand Luke they said it was impossible to eat 30 hard boiled eggs in an hour. Paul Newman did it and at lot of prisoners lost a lot of money in bets. Just sayin, be careful with your money. The human stomach is an amazing thing, ask Joey Chestnuts and the late Paul Newman.

    It 100% can be done and as many calories have been consumed within 24 hrs by fitness guys. strongmen etc.

    The hurdle is to avoid the throwing up, getting it worked off to help, having a plan on what is bought/consumed and time frames. Sleep is moot, sleep big time prior to the start and a rest period after a full first day then back at it.

    After the first several hours he will have no bile left to digest and he will squirt like crazy, which in this case is good. The food will fly through him, how it is confirmed he never pukes is beyond me without getting personal.


    Again, it can be done the question we will see answered is can he.

    He's allowed to add extras? Huge fucking angle there. I'd imagine he could easily really elevate the prices. So I went to google and found this:

    A fucking $900 burger. Everyone betting against this guy are easy marks

    If he plays it right, he wins this isn't a battle of stomach but rather brains.

    is he allowed to fly somewhere to do this? thinking like NYC, SF, Hawaii, Alaska. amp up the overall cost by like 20-40% or something like that.

    also can he do this? start at 1:00. seems rich as hell, but $100 for a burger takes a big fucking dent outta things...

    Also, Joey Chestnuts consumes 15,000 calories in 10 minutes in the hot dog eating contest. If the eater uses laxatives right after he eats, he can do it. It's not easy but not impossible. But you have to train. I can see this guy eating three big macs and conceding because he has not trained.

    You found that but were too lazy to read the fucking article you illiterate parking lot night watchman.

    But the biggest surprise came when the cashier first tried to ring up the order. The burger totaled $890.80 . In the video the confused register is seen checking with a manager before realizing that due to a pricing bug the system had added hundreds of dollars for the cheese.

    The final total for the Big Max? Just $24.89, which could be the “deal of the century” according to Tamssot who spent most of day working his way through the3.8 pound pile of toppings, bun and meat.

    none of this is about calories, its about actual mass/volume, because this guy doesnt have 100+ lbs of muscle to feed and even if he did....


    we are talking about 2+ pounds of food (2500+ calories) an hour for at least 24 straight hours.


    i respectfully suggest that if he cant constantly be shitting it out or deliberately puking it up, hes going to rupture his stomach.

    and even if you accept that he might puke constantly, those stomach acids are going to burn out his fucking trachea long before he manages to wrap this bet up.

    .
    he can only hit the trigger once during the bet.

    EDIT: sorry he can puke multiple times, but if he forces it or its repeated its a DQ...

    also regarding the calories thing, those are meals specifically optimized to boost calories in a small amount of actual food. they dont serve muscle milk at mcdonalds.

    yeah this is worded real badly

    – Puking is ok as long as he doesn’t force the puke or puke repeatedly

    but honestly either way, if he pukes enough to stay on course hes going straight to the ER long before the bets over, and if he doesnt puke and ends up rupturing his stomach he goes straight to the ER long before the bets over.

    impossible, even if mentally is another level he will be in the hospital long before he wins

    there isn't anything on the mcdonald's menu in combination for $1000 that wouldn't cause significant health issues within 36 hours

    noori has said his piece is relatively small in this, if he is smart he'd try to negotiate a buyout

    I'm willing to believe that some workout freak has had X amount of calories over a 36 hour period.

    I'm not willing to believe that said freak or anyone else is able to consume that much from a McDonald's.

    I still feel like the catch is extras, or non-standard items. If you walk in and order a go-gurt they might charge you $2? You can slam those. I'm sure there's something else that goes down easy. Hell they added guacamole recently. Start adding that to everything, it can't be cheap
