This Dude That Ate A 20-Pound Cheeseburger Is My New Hero

Friday morning anecdote time: One time, in the fall of 2006 back in college, I attempted something so insane, so crazy, so tubular, I’m sure I would have won an award for Wildest Dude Ever, if such an award existed. (However, this award does exist … in my mind. I am its winner, three years running.)

You see: I had a Quad Stacker challenge at Burger King with my friends. The burgers looked like this:

I succumbed to the might of the meat at about 2 1/10 burgers. My friend made three, and was crowned champion. Later he feasted on turkey legs and mead, and was adorned with a crown made of silver and gold. I reveled in his mastery of the burger.

But friends, there is someone I have learned about this morning who I have an even greater admiration and respect for in this world. His name is Brad Sciullo and he wolfed down this 20-pound burger in four hours, 39 minutes:

Wha-bam. I’ll let Chris Mottram of the Sporting Blog explain all the gory details:

The burger itself was 15 pounds of meat, plus five pounds of toppings. Let’s run some of the numbers here. That’s about 550 grams of fat, 200 grams of saturated fat, over 10,000 calories, and 4100 milligrams of cholesterol (about 15 times what your daily intake should be). And that’s just in the meat alone. This bad boy also had an unknown amount of cheese on it (based on the photo above, it was a lot), plus an entire cup of mayo. I’m no nutritionist, but that’s a recipe for intestinal disaster.

If you could hear the sound I was making through your computer screens now, it would be one of clapping.

When I won (or lost, as some would contend) the referenced Quad Stack challenge I went through sweats, dizzy spells and other semi-hallucinogenic states during the hours after. I imagine the trip this man went on after completing this challenge was akin to the Simpsons episode where Homer eats the hot pepper that no one else will by coating his tongue in wax: Something to do with what appear to be Mayan ruins and talking to a witty dog.

Lipitor (atorvastatin) for High Cholesterol: Lowers cholestorol but I have the oddest side effect - I call it itchy feet. In the bottoms only and nothing stops the itchy feeling, except Neurontin. It's an internal nerve itch, not external. I was scratching on concrete, anything to make it stop.

It's such a waste that we can spend so much time and money creating a giant hamburger to eat for entertainment. You know there are people starving in the world, right?

Fake, stomach cannot take the volume of food in 39 minutes, no matter how much of a pig you are.

Uh, 4 hours, 39 minutes. Read first before you decide to try to say something intelligent.

I am so eager to see a person who ate 20-pound burger. How does his stomach tolerated this. It would have lead to indigestion. Such a huge amount of food..I am feeling nauseating.

I hope I don't need to say that this cheeseburger doesn't look real at all..Well at least we can breathe easily because a guy easting something like this will never have to endure a Eating Disorder treatment or something like this right? Anyway we all know that there is not possible for a single man to eat something like this at once.
