can't anyone finish a vending machine challenge? If a guy can get through cat food, eating 30 something snack size items has to be possible

Vending machine challenge is way more difficult than it looks...I tried it way back for $600, and almost made it through. What really kills you is the gum -- after getting though every other row, chewing and swallow all that gum makes you want to throw up...

Wait wasn't there that BAC kid that made some sorta pathetic attempt a few months ago, can't remember the particular foodstuff in question though

I just heard from someone at Wellscovia, that the cat food was less gross than the analyst who ate a 5 Gallon bucket of coleslaw.

Is getting high considered cheating?

This is a video of a runner on the CBOE floor a few years ago who for $700 drank a whole bottle of Still Steamin’ Buck Semen. Got paid an extra $100 to do it on his knees.

While one must admire courage, just so you know, cat food isn't just ground-up people food rejects. It's entirely possible to injure yourself eating too much protein too fast. For future reference, dog food is much safer - it's mostly meat-flavored Fritos.

Tough to beat our old friend Pickens at UBS two years ago... five pound wheel of romano cheese (with the wax rind I might add) in 30 minutes.
Stud walked away with about $1,600 for his efforts.

The 3 way hybrid challenge, paying homage to all the great food eating challenges of our time: 1/3 gallon of whole milk, 17 hard boiled eggs, and 1/3 of the contents of a vending machine (selected by randomly drawing column numbers and using a coin flip to determine the top or bottom portion of the additional column to achive 1/3 of the vending machine, and remember to round up), get in all down in an hour. Dreamed this up back in college, it's not pretty
