Five are a filling meal? What? Maybe a nice appetizer but a meal? When I still lived in Tennessee (Oregon doesn’t have a slider chain :() and was feeling the need for some greasebombs, I could easily eat two dozen and be hungry a couple hours later. Of course, it also helped that they go through you in five minutes. ---

What’s just as amazing is that the woman who came in second with 40-something burgers only weighs 105 lbs! She’s won many eating constests over the years by consuming nearly 10% of her body weight! ---

The International Federation of Competitive Eating? Sanctioned eating contests? A sanctioned Gut Bomber (AKA Krystal) eating contest? Just goes to show ya, I ain’t ever gonna hear it all. There’s always something. :dubious:
