A couple of my friends organized a chicken nugget eating contest two weeks ago and today was the day where 6 wanna-be professional eaters met up at a local Wendys for the nugget showdown.  The winner received a year’s worth of bragging rights, hours of indigestion, elevated blood pressure, and a trophy a mother hen would be proud of.  My good buddy emerged victorious after stuffing 67 nuggets down his gullet.  The runner up finished with a close 65, and third place managed to throw down 62.  I wish I was there to witness this momentous event.  The Wendy’s store manager even sectioned off a partition of the restaurant for the contest.  What a good sport.  I’ll add more pics if I can get my hands of them.

Just in case you are wondering how much nutrition a single 5-piece serving of nuggets contains, let me enlighten you.

Calories: 230
Total Fat: 15g
Cholesterol: 35mg
Sodium: 520mg
Total Carbohydrates: 12g
Protein: 12g 

That means the winner ate 13.4 servings in an hour.  Let’s have some fun with math.

Calories: 3082
Total Fat: 201g
Cholesterol: 469mg
Sodium: 6968mg
Total Carbohydrates: 160.8g
Protein: 160.8g

Way to do your ancestors proud my friend.  I am impressed.
