"You choke on the fortune cookie"

HA!

I don't feel the slightest bit of remorse. Eating contests are terrible things.

Can someone put in that .gif of those two Asian woman laughing and pointing? This thread is perfect for it!

...and when she woke up, she said "all in all, I prefer wholemeal."

we probably need a [Japan] tag

choking on bread? most people figure this stuff out in kindergarten

I'm just curious about 2 things. 1) Didn't these people get a memo on the Heimlich? 2)Don't they have people around to, you know, clear obstructions form an over eaters trachea?

It was just their way of having a bit of fun, the swines. Strange thing is they make such bloody good cameras.

That woman deserved a pat on the back.

this reminds me of the guy who died from throat lacerations during the '99 Sword Swallowing contest. I believe Frisco retained their title that year and continues to be unbeaten to this day.

I still can't understand it. A Japanese person will look at an American-sized steak (whatever you can think of) and tell me how huge it is. They will then tell me about how it is the cause of our "fat problem" in America, and yet they will eat about two heaping bowls of rice (or more) at every meal.

I guess the carbs finally got someone.

You are my Gyro.

Takeru has a moment of silence for his fallen contender, then eats something else.

Give us this day our daily air.

/usually forget that one, don't you?

but doesnt it say in the Bible that man cannot die on bread alone?

hey, at least it wasn't a pretzel. now wouldn't that be stupid!

"I chocked on a Pretzel... and you idiots re-elected me!"

I think these eating contests are obscene. Literally obscene. There are people in the world who are starving and we're having contests to see how much food people can cram down their throats.

Starving people are winning the competition to see who can go the longest without food.

Wow! This could have been me today. I was bet a round of drinks (three) that I couldn't eat 10 saltine crackers in two minutes with no liquids. Impossible to do. I ate eight.

that's what i call bread luck

i'll be here all night folks

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

I agree. Karma. To have so much food that it becomes entertainment while others starve is just sad.

Reminds me of a high school that raised money for the food bank by having an egg throwing contest. Raise money to feed the hungry by wasting food. Priceless.

What a bunch of whiny babies on this thread.

It's so reprehensible! People are starving around the world! Blah blah blah, look at me, I'm such a good person!

Come on. How is cramming $20 worth of bread down your throat any more reprehensible than spending that money on beer, or jewelry, or at the movies, or on your computer. There are people starving in Africa, but YOU need to have a high speed internet connection so that you can go on Fark?

No one likes the idea of people starving, but at some point, we all stop caring and try not to think about it. Do you give all your extra money to help feed hungry people? I didn't think so. Neither do I.

So shut the hell up. You people are hypocrites.

Take a Hostess Devil Dog and scrape the fluffy center out. Try eating the two halves of chocolate cake w/out liquids in under a minute. Pretty funny to attempt, it's like your mouth being cemented shut.

guywhore.. I 'rise' to your challenge! It will take at yeast 3 puns to get some one to join in...

What's the name of that place again?

Somebody should have given her the Heineken manuever...
