This reminds me of the water drinking contest on some radio station. A female died because she upset the electrolytes in her system. She drank over a gallon of water.

IIRC, the radio station was sued. And probably settled out of court for a large sum.

My favorite minor league team, the Montgomery Biscuits, shoot biscuits into the stands.

Their young fans are called “Lil Crumbs”.

I bought a hat from them because, well, I wanted a hat with a biscuit on it.

Turns out, “biscuits” also stands for something filthy.

Surprisingly, my wife told me about this.

That caused me to look it up on something called The Urban Dictionary.

You would be surprised at how many dirty words there are now.

I know like twelve and that’s because I was in the Army.....and the Navy guys yelled them at me.

Anyway,

Go Biscuits!

I’m surprised more people don’t die from these eating contests. They shove incredible amounts of food down their gullets in those contests. That can’t be healthy.

Look up Molly Schyler on YouTube she at 22.5 lbs of brisket in around 45 minutes I believe. She ate a 56 oz steak in 3 minutes in one video!

He probably died of the heat. It’s been 100F in Fresno for 2 months

” It was not immediately known how many tacos the man had eaten or whether he had won the contest. “
