One of life's simplest pleasures is eating too much. Just a little too much. That sweet spot where your body, and more importantly, your mind, knows that you overdid it a tad but not so thoroughly that you're about to be bolted to the bed or toilet for the next 24 hours. There's something freeing about the level of indulgence that sees you polish off two dozen chicken nuggets, even though by the time you were throwing number 16 down, your body was telling you to stop. Pounding that extra slice of pizza that will take you from stuffed to double stuf is a goddamn birthright that all of us share and should dip into from time to time. THEN, there is the world of competitive eating and the absolute bodily red lights that these bottomless beasts blast clean through with reckless abandon. One of my favorite things on the planet is to go onto the official Major League Eating website and take a peek at some of their many insane world records and just imagine the hell that these people and their bodies are going through during and after these events ...
113 1oz Silver Dollar Pancakes, 8 minutes. We start with the records that teeter on the lines of "things you could maybe do when you're drunk enough." Look, I'm not saying this isn't just the stupidest amount of pancakes ever eaten, because it totally is. But, as you'll see while we make our way down this list, this gets a whole lot grosser than this. What makes this one almost passable is that these are silver dollar pancakes, What keeps it on the list is that they're still eating OVER A HUNDRED mini pancakes. I couldn't even eat 100 Skittle-sized pancakes, so forget going anywhere near these.

That was hilarious. Normally I spew coffee, but I thought it was appropriate to blow chunks at the monitor over this one. I didn’t want to mess up the keyboard.
The butter put me over the top.
Glad you have a sense of humor
1n 1985 I went from 260 to 180 pounds by eating smaller amounts. Friends asked me if I was sick. No, just too fat for my own good, I said...
This is a pretty funny site that I go to once in a while,
although it’s pretty left-wing.

Don’t make me unleash the joke.. der gevelterflaffle..
Good on you brother, I am starving to death.
It’s just a bit of apolitical fun
It’s just a bit of apolitical fun
It’s on the list
141 Hard Boiled Eggs, eight Minutes. Not deviled, which feels like it would somehow make it less impressive.
Stocking up for one of these contests must be a hell of a scene. This is just one competitor’s take, nearly 150 eggs, so you have to assume that everyone else on stage is pushing right behind them. No doubt there comes a point when the intern making the food run in the biggest UHaul they offer takes a look in the back at five thousand loose eggs (no room for the cartons) stuffed in there and begins to wonder if there is somewhere else more deserving or in need of this food before shaking their head, turning the key, and driving off to an eating contest to watch people suffer through their egg-eating because they’ll be goddamned if this country didn’t maintain some of its ever-evaporating dignity.
Thanks, when you get the weight down, you can eat anything you want—in reasonable quantity. That’s the key...
BTTT!!!
I love deviled eggs, but seriously 6 is my limit, leave room for the chicken..
I’ve never quite gotten these ‘eating contests’.
I was raised to never play with your food, don’t waste it and never complain about it.................
They generally are promoted by some food company.
The big 4th of July one in NYC is Nathan’s Hot Dogs.
There’s one here in Indiana with shrimp cocktail from the locally famous St. Elmo Steakhouse.

The ocean called they’re running out of shrimp
