Man Eats 11.5 Pounds of Chili in 10 Minutes

Posted by samzenpus on from the stand-back dept.

A man nicknamed "Humble Bob" won $2,500 at the inaugural Skyline Chili Spaghetti eat-off by stuffing over 11 pounds of chili into his belly. The feat took Bob around 10 minutes, beating the favored Joey Chestnut, who won this year's July 4 hot dog eating contest at Coney Island. It's estimated that it will take 4-5 days before anyone can safely stand next to Bob without special breathing apparatus.

      Later he broke the record for the worlds longest fart, which almost ignited due to the friction caused.

      picturing a 10-lb log of ground beef found at the grocery store... his stomach has got some serious room.

    good thing his name wasn't "Smile 'n' Bob" otherwise I would have been skeptical.
