9 Nasty Truths About Your Favorite Foods
Famous Death Row Last Meals
This week, competitive eater Pat Bertoletti set a new ice cream-eating world record by consuming 1.75 gallons in eight minutes. The ice cream used was vanilla from the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory. Bertoletti, fourth in eater rankings, also holds the records for key lime pie, chocolate and corned beef and cabbage.
It is possible to image eating almost any food quickly, even if you can't really conceive of doing it yourself. Ice cream, on the other hand, is not an easy food to eat because of the risk of brain freeze, the intense headache that results from consuming cold foods too quickly. Some of the eaters appeared to be affected by the cold, but Bertoletti ate the ice cream as though it were no colder than a pile of warm mashed potatoes. I'm not sure if "impressive" fully describes the performance, but watch the video to see for yourself.

What a good way to get a meal. If this were going on in Iraq to boost some spirits no one would have a problem with it.

When I read comments such as these, or hear about how a tradition, such as Christmas or Easter displays, has to be cancelled due to it offending someone else, it just makes me see RED! OK, these things may not be what you believe in or appreciate, but they DO have meaning for many other people. I believe that most of this comes down to how selfish people are becoming. "I don't like this so nobody else can enjoy it either". Hey people, grow up! Live and let live or whatever you understand. YOU are not the only one with likes or dislikes. If you do not like or enjoy these things, DO NOT watch them! There are some of us that DO like them. Please don't ruin it for us.

I remember watching old time movies where at the County fair the event of the day was a pie eating contest. Stop and think people, lets not all become Robots of society, lest have some ice eating fun. Hoorah for ice cream eating champ..
