My grandmother used to get those half gallon "boxes" of ice cream in the late 70s and then cut them in half with a serrated knife and hand one half to me and the other to my brother. He would invariably get "brain freeze" and I would end up eating half of his allotment. Thus, I still think that I would be able to hold my own in an ice cream eating contest. I never, ever get brain freeze.
I’ve never had it from ice cream. And I know they go by a different name I can’t remember but the only thing to ever give me brain freeze is the mister Misty’s from DQ.
I did that at college once. Had four contestants and one XL pizza. It was who could finish it the fastest. I started strong and slowed down when I realized I was way ahead. Just cruised to a finish.
Pizza, absolutely. I'm not a large person but I freak people out with the amount of pizza I'll eat at an ordinary meal (I always order a large. For myself.)
Cold spaghetti the next day from the fridge hits different. I know im a weirdo but I can go through a bowl of that in no time and wonder where it all went.
I made too many noodles for a dish once and had the leftovers the next day. I tried them cold and they weren't as bad as I thought, but I still heated them up after a mouthful or two. I imagine cold spaghetti goes well with gazpacho. Maybe I will try it soon.
Reeces.....I always wonder what the pile would look like of all the ones I've ate in my 40 years.... never get sick of them. I love peanut butter in general lol
I was going to comment this exact thing. My personal fan are the regular miniatures... ones in the little wrappers. Probably ate a million of those lol....I should be a diabetic honestly.
Don’t really have conveyor belts near me but all u can eat sushi is an option and u can choose rolls or nigiri. I can do about 7 rounds with like 20-30 pieces a round. Haha 😆 it’s not a lot compared to other ppl but I’m pretty tiny and people are always shocked by how much I can put away.
Honestly nothing. When I was a kid I could pack food away and be ready for more. But now my stomach isn't what it used to be.
That being said, I pick curry because it's my favorite food. I won't even try to win, I'll just enjoy some free curry and be the first loser.
I had my picture on the wall of a restaurant for a while for doing the Mega Challenge. I can't remember the name of the restaurant, though, but I did the Mega Challenge and finished. The challenge was to finish four servings of ramen noodles in under thirty minutes. I finished within mere seconds of the clock running out. The place hasn't been there since the COVID quarantine.
Shrimp. There's a reason red lobster isn't doing well. Humans can demolish some shrimp. I've never tried to eat all I can eat, but I bet I could kill two or three party trays of shrimp scampi and cocktail sauce.
It depends on the caliber of the contest. I can't professionally hold my throat open at will. I can trip it a little bit, and I'm the fastest eater I know.
I feel like I could gulp down deviled eggs though. If I can have a hand in the recipe I'd up the dill a tad to ease off the heartburn. And sleeping with windows cracked.
When I was a lifeguard (summers during college) at an apartment complex, I won a watermelon eating contest.
Technically, I won a gift certificate toward Kangaroo shoes, but I really wanted the basketball and the person who won it was nice enough to trade me. In hindsight, I think they just gave in after my nagging. It was 20+ years ago.
grew up with ARFID and ate pretty much only ice cream for about a year of my childhood, ive never gotten a brain freeze in my life, + i love ice cream … oh boy would i do AMAZING if i entered one of those
Longest continual spaghetti slurp. Everyone gets a pot with one 200 yard length single spaghetti noodle and you have to slurp the whole thing with no breaking or chewing. Whoever gets the most or does it fastest wins.
all of them (especially when im bulking, i am cutting so my stomach is smaller and i get full but i still hold this true). ESPECIALLY CREPES THOUGH LIKE DO NOT CHALLENGE ME I ONCE CONSUMED 20 WHEN I WAS 6
Almost anything bread and butter related. I couldn’t beat a professional eater but probably 99% of regular folks. I could eat 6 bagels with butter or 2 baguettes with butter in 1/2 hour
I am already a hot wing eating contest champion 🏆. I represented my rec league team during a season end party at a restaurant. I'm the only one that completed, with every other challenger quitting part way through. Sure, it wasn't pleasant afterwards, but the glory was worth it. Ah, the chants of "Wing King!"
Jellybeans and tacos. My sister-in-law has to hide their candy dish with their jellybeans when we come over because she knows I'll eat the whole thing. I went to the mall candy store and bought $40 worth of them ($3 per lb) and ate them in 3 days. I have an addiction lol.
With tacos I can put em away. I'll eat them till my chest starts to hurt. Back when Taco Bell had the 12-taco box I'd eat all 12 in 1 sitting. I've never weighed over 190 in my life either.
After participating in an actual eating contest (tamales), I swore I’d never do it again. I’m not sure I’ve ever felt more miserable than I did in the couple of hours after that.
However, I might make one exception. I’d like to start an endurance eating competition with chips and salsa. I have no interest in stuffing my face as fast as possible, but I could sit there and consistently eat chips and salsa until the cows come home.
Even if I wasn’t crowned the champion, I’d still consider it a win.
Looking through the records for certain foods on major league rating’s website, I’m almost positive I could challenge one of Joey chestnut’s records. The record that I could challenge is 53 soft shell Taco Bell beef tacos in 10 minutes…..just seems way too easy of a number
