and you thought you were eating a lot
one guy who’ll be stuffed from all the holiday eating is competitive eater takeru kobayashi. ranked third in the world for competitive eating, kobayashi is best known in the US for winning and setting several records for the nathan’s annual hot dog eating contest in coney island, ny. this friday, kobayashi will attempt to break the fruitcake-eating world record (yes, believe it or not there is one) to help raise awareness for the food bank of new york. sponsored by the major league eating, its members are asked to donate to the food bank with funds to be matched in triple by the robin hood foundation. the current record, set in 2001, stands at 4lbs and 14.5 oz.
my guess is that trying to down almost 5lbs of fruitcake will be just as difficult as trying to beat a bear in an eating contest.
