’Black Widow’ Devours 181 Wings in Eating Contest

(Sept. 6) – The Black Widow of eating contests gobbled up nearly 181 chicken wings in 12 minutes, devouring the national championship record in Buffalo on Sunday.

“I’m so happy!” said Sonya Thomas, who ate 4.86 pounds of chicken wings to win the contest, besting world eating marvel Joey Chestnut at the ninth annual National Buffalo Wing Festival.

Buffalo, about 300 miles northwest of New York, is said to be the birthplace of the wings, typically fried and covered in tangy vinegar and hot sauce.

I don’t even consider this a sport.

Professional eater—give me a break! :rolleyes:
 
The prize money should go to people who actually need food.

What a disgusting activity.

So what does that make the rest of us, amateurs?

Definitely not something I would go see. :nope:
 
This is just gross. I don’t understand why anyone would watch such competitions or why one would become a “professional eater.” To describe it as a “sport” is just weird, in my opinion. But, I’m sure those who watch or participate would disagree with me.

“So happy”…and probably so FAT too! Why would anyone be proud of eating more than other people? If I ever eat more than I really need to eat, it is for my own enjoyment- not to impress others. I don’t know who would want to watch those contests either- I always thought eating was more fun doing than watching.
 
Disgusting! I do not mind some forms of eating contest such as eat the meal in such and such time an it is free.

Or my personal fav the cook off where the meal is judged on taste. But this sorta thing is a good summary of everything that is wrong in the USA.
