Man Eats 15 POUND Burger!

Oh please. Eating that isn't going to give him heart disease anymore than drinking a gallon of lard followed by a bag of sugar would.

Several studies have been done on the effects of one high calorie, high fat meal, and health. Well, sorry to say, but these scientists are not fun people cause in every study, they found that the effects were not too good.

Good Lord, I'd like to see his liver after eating something like that. It looks so nasty...1 cup of mayo? My stomach is churning just looking at it.

Why would anyone do that?????

that is just plain gross...

The only reasons I would eat that thing are because it'd make an interesting story to tell... and because I'm bulimic. :/ Really though, who would make something like that and WHY?

So, as someone who has been to Denny's Beer Barrel Pub ;) for most of the smaller burgers, you aren't allowed trips to the bathroom, and you get a time limit to try and finish the entire burger without utensils in order to win a prize (I think... the burger is free, and you get a t-shirt?)

This is the first time I've heard of someone polishing of the 15lber single-handedly, however. I'm sharing the news with my friends. :)

looks tasty

OMG that is so wrong!

(I wanted to know why he did it and this is what he said. And hey, $400 can buy a lot of alka selzer!)

When asked what possessed him to eat a burger that big, Sciullo said: "I wanted to see if I could."

For completing the challenge in the under-five-hour time limit, Sciullo won $400, three T-shirts, a certificate "and a burger hangover, as I call it," Liegey said.

And we clap and applaud this as if it's an achievement worth aiming for??? Then we try to teach our children about portion control when this kind of stuff gets publicity and the implicit message is that it's cool and hip and makes you pretty powerful if you can consume this much. Yikes!

I wonder what happened later that day or next morning? How did he feel the next day? I remember being young once. I don't think I ate that much hamburger total my entire life. ugh!

Seriously, no joke, can't that kill someone? I mean immediately, just like an overload of water can. I'm going to venture to guess that he took a long trip to the bathroom to purge AFTER they declared him the winner. But still, how could his stomach and intestines fit all that, even chewed down, before he purged?

I watched on the Food Network once a bunch of college kids trying to stuff down giant ice cream Sundays (the kind made for multiple people; just like this burger) and they all reached points where they physically couldn't continue. Their bodies just STOPPED them at one point, in that they looked at the ice cream and all of a sudden were just like "I can't do anymore" and they were acting extremely sluggish and odd (much like I've read described about water poisoning, to mention that again.) I know one did go to the bathroom to purge. It wasn't funny; it was disturbing.

I think I feel like throwing up just looking at the guy eat that thing. Wow that is seriously unbelievable. Also think about all the burgers we would have eaten to train to be able to eat one that big. definitely makes me sick...

Ewww! On the topic of "seeing if he could": I heard of a dare that was made in WWII, apparently between Russian soldiers. The dare was: Who can down a whole bottle of Vodka. There were no prizes. One soldier demonstrated that he could: Downed the entire bottle - and hit the floor dead. Toxic shock.

How's that for winning the Darwin Award!

argggggggg!!!! i cant believe he ate that thang!! or was it just an illusion???

Seriously....that makes me nauseous just looking at the pics. Ack!

That is awesome. Who needs to live forever anyways!

Take that cheap ass Lean Cuisine eaters!

That's quite an accomplishment, and pretty big news in Clearfield, PA (my hometown and home to Denny's, home of the world's largest burger.)

Not too long ago, just finishing the 6 lb burger was a big deal. Now the clock is ticking until someone eats the 15 pounder faster!

...Ew.
A cup of mayonaise?
Ew. Ew. Ew.
That's disgusting.
Yucky.

Meat?

What..is..meat?

Isn't that just for rich ppl?

You should eat to live , not live to eat . Competitions like this just damages all your body with hard colestrol rates.

This has nothing to do with red meat or saturated fat. It is the QUANTITY he ate that is harmful.

RED MEAT DOES NOT CAUSE CAD. Red meat HELPS your heart and is very nutrient dense.

For those of you who were impressed you should rent "Cool Hand Luke" and watch Paul Newman eat 50 hard-boiled eggs ~

is that really necessary?..think of all the starving kids in under developed countries..
