World Class Eater


No no, not me for once... Here we have Sonya "the Black Widow" Thomas, the USA's top ranked competitive eater, ranked number 2 in the world. She is 5'5" and weighs just 45 kilos, but dominates eating tournaments across the country since she won her first event in 2003 eating 18 hot dogs in 12 minutes.

That was nothing, and she has since put in records such as 65 hard boiled eggs in just over 6 minutes, 32 hot dogs in 12 minutes, 48 soft-shelled chicken tacos in 11 minutes and a staggering 552 oysters in 10 minutes.

She is currently the USA's top earner in the world of competive eating, but she hasn't quit her job as a manager of Burger King. She only eats one meal a day, a Burger King Chicken Whopper, large fries, 5 chicken tenders and 3 king size diet cokes (42 ounces each).

Here we have her at her win of the "Big Daddy Barack Burger" competiton, where she ate the 9 pound burger in just 48 minutes. Of course that was just the meat, once you count the whole thing plus water, it was more like 18 pounds (a bit over 8 kilo).


The world number 1 is similarly skinny, a 5'7" japanese man wieghing in at 65 kilos.

Maybe you should look into becoming a "gurgitator" noodle... people paying you to eat alot as fast as possible.
