Eating 50 eggs

I’m confused. On a TV “egg eating contest” show, a person drank a large number of uncooked eggs and collapsed. The commentator said that something similar had happened to this person in the past, and that the eggs had triggered a heart attack.

Huh? Why would drinking eggs give you Fibrillation? Was it just the massive influx of water? (Or maybe the commentator just had it wrong.)

When I was in high school, the challenge was that no one could drink 10 cartons of milk in 15 minutes. I accepted that challenge.

The results were . . . unpleasant. Here’s a tip. Wear boots.

I know, it’s a ten year old Zombie thread and all, but I remember reading an interview with Paul Newman many years ago, and he stated that he “never swallowed an egg” during the filming of that scene.

And let me be the first to point out that Zombie Eggs is an excellent name for a band.

12 years old? I jumped ahead in time to 2014 and didn’t even notice it? Who won the election?

Yes, I know it was 10 but I rounded it to an even dozen. We’re talking eggs you know.

Yup. OK. That sounds logical enough that I’ll give it to you.

Well played. :slight_smile:

What goes with eggs? Bacon. I could probably eat 50 pieces of bacon in an hour.

Not if I was in the room, you couldn’t. You’d get at least 20 of them stolen while you were stuffing your face. :wink:

50 eggs in a hour? I really don’t see the impossibility here. Surely eggs are smaller (in volume) than hot dogs, bowls of chili and other foods regularly consumed in double digits in mere minutes by competitive eaters. I’m not saying *I *could/would do it, but…
