Growing up, I lived on a farm and we often had corn-on-the-cob as a main dish over the summer. My sisters and I would have contests to see who could eat the most...I think our limit was 13 or 14 in 30 minutes. We all would say that we just ran out of corn at that time and we could have eaten more, but that was probably just for boasting reasons, haha.

I can't even guess as to what the next morning would be like after eating 26 ears of corn.

Was that buttered and salted?? How long did it take to floss all that corn out of her teeth afterwards too??

OMG!!! That's amazin. I could never imagine eating a full ear of corn let alone 26. Hands down to her she did an awesome job.

All I want to know is how big she is. Is this her first contest or does she overeat for fun? I can't imagine a 13 yr. old having that big a stomach!

Wow! Thats pretty cool! I really like corn on the cob. I want to be in the next compitition. I once ate 13 White Castle Hamburgers in 15 minutes.

hey No 5 ... are you kidding me? you couldn't imagine eating a full ear of corn? Haven't you ever been to a summer picnic?

Someone remarked that they wondered what the next morning would be like. Well, I hate to imagine. Since corn does not digest like other foods but goes straight through the system in 10-15 hours, I would guess the next morning would be filled with several yellow lumpy experiences. Yuck! Well, at least all that starch & fiber would clean everything out on the way!

Yes white castles are that good. My husband and a friend had a contest eating white castles and he ate 53 in 30 mins. I can only think what he felt like. I think she should get a big WTG!!!!!!!!!!! I can not eat corn just the thought makes me sick but to eat their own.

I agree with #3....what people will do these days...I would not be proud of my child just to be a glutton. As a parent myself, I would not encourage this in a 13 year old. TEACH HER SOMETHING APPROPRIATE FOR GOODNESS SAKES!!!! GET A LIFE!!!!
