Woman eats 26 grilled cheese sandwiches

Grilled cheese contest winnerWhat would you do for $8000? I'd probably eat a bug, maybe not bathe for a week. But there's a difference between the things you would do for money and the things you actually can do.

Sonya Thomas ate 26 grilled cheese sandwiches Wednesday at Planet Hollywood in New York during The World Grilled Cheese Eating Championship. Yes, there is such a thing. 

She weighed 100 lbs at the start of the contest, and after eating 52 slices of bread filled with gooey cheese, she must have doubled her weight. The runner-up ate 25 1/2 sandwiches. Imagine eating that many sandwiches and coming in second.
