"chocolate hearts" news and stories

Updates from the world of competitive eating never fail to make me chuckle. Today, professional "gurgitators" will be competing at the GoldenPalace.net Valentine's Day Chocolate Massacre, stuffing down heart-shaped chocolates for their share of $5,000 in cash.

Last Saturday, famed competitive eater Sonya Thomas racked up yet another win in the Weinerschnitzel World Chili Cheese Fry Eating Championship in Long Beach, California. The victory was a narrow one, however, with Thomas edging out Joey Chestnut by only one ounce of cheesy goodness. When the dust settled, Thomas had eaten 8 pounds 2 ounces of chili cheese fries in 10 minutes and Chestnut had eaten 8 pounds 1 ounce. The total purse for the event was $10,000.
