Well we've started as the experiment country, who wants to be control nation? I suggest Switzerland or Sweden.

This sounds like a challenge....

Fun fact: There's an African tribe (the Dinka people, if I'm not mistaken) that has an annual contest where the men engorge themselves on milk to try to gain as much weight as they can so that they can be judged on their fatness. Some of the men drink and eat so much in an effort to gain weight that their stomachs would rupture, killing them.

I'm guessing that if the answer is "Yes", then it would likely involve a serious preexisting condition that has weakened the stomach, like a severe ulcer.

This was a triumph...

Might have to kick him in the stomach to get it done, but yeah.

If my brother's stomach is still intact, the answer is no.

Fark the turkey this is what we are having for thanksgiving:



Most of it cams fresh from my garden, the mushrooms from the greenhouse of a neighbor and the beef and chicken were marinated overnight in teriyaki and sesame oil, will be served over fried rice with fresh sesame seed bread and sake.

It's possible, but you're more likely to overwhelm your cardiac sphincter and have food come back up your esophagus. I'd say aspiration into lungs is the more likely scenario.

foo monkey: BeerBear: didn't mythbusters proved this was bunk?

Yup. They filled a pig stomach with soda and pop rocks. Thing expanded like 4x it's normal volume and didn't burst.

Sounds to me like they should have tried filling it 5x, and noting differences between pigs stomachs and human stomachs, as it's clearly possible, so they were wrong.

I liked mythbusters, but I'd get annoyed watching them declare something busted when clearly it isn't.

No pigs were harmed, no matter how much we tried.
