Those of you with an interest in competitive eating (you know who you are) might already know of Joey Chestnut's
recent record-setting win at this year's Wing Bowl in Philadelphia. I think I might be getting a bit desensitized to
the figures that accompany these sorts of competitions, however. Chestnut took down 173 wings in 30 minutes and I'm not
trying to downplay that. What truly amazes me, though, is the footage of Chestnut taking
down a gallon of milk (looks to be whole milk) in 41 seconds. I'd long thought that to be a physical impossibility. I
believe this was some sort of qualifying measure for the Wing Bowl, but I'm not positive on that detail. The
Philadelphia Inquirer has more on the entire gristly
event.A gallon of milk in 41 seconds (and some wings, too)
