Not a fan of these contests.

Gluttony is one of the Seven Deadly Sins for a reason.

Is this a new incident, or the same incident that was reported Tuesday and yesterday?

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

I think it is safe to say that he did not win.

This is a sad story, for sure, but it was easier reading through this one vs a similar incident about ten years ago.
In that eating contest, the victim had been speed eating bugs. I won’t go into anymore detail.

“Dana Hutchings, 41, of Fresno, died Tuesday night....”

Taco Tuesday. You can’t make this stuff up.

Maybe it was the winning taco that did him in.

And then there’s this little Japanese woman who competes in these things all the time...and wins.

No one outlives Japanese women, by the way.
