Elite athletes who train daily to be the best they can be on the field.... decide to have a taco eating contest... hahah... 107.7 The Bone recently staged a pre-game taco eating contest. Hope the game wasn't too hard... otherwise, uh oh, Taco! (although I think it was mostly coaches..)

Here's a classic commercial, asking the age old question, "Where's the Beef?" This guy certainly knew where the beef was, and so did he! If only we could all just say "Where's the beef" everytime we got a tiny burger, I'm sure the world would be a better, burgereyer place if we did!

[via EatFeats] Following on from our earlier story about the 4 Patty MegaMac, here's the official Japanese commercial. The Japanese McDonalds Web Site also has more info on the burger. Kinda funny, they're talking up healthy options in most Western countries, not in Japan and China though!

[via EatFeats] We've talked about the Quad-Stack Big Mac in China before, and it looks like McDonalds is taking their burger towers to Japan! Just released, the Mega Mac, a 4 patty Big Mac. The poor Japanese girl in this clip struggles to get her mouth around the bottom two pattys... hahah... There's also a run down of a few other Japanese fast foods...

A cheese challenge from the Suiss! (Well, he's actually Australian, but anyway...) The challenge was to eat a half a wheel of cheese by itself, nothing else. Only a few pics, but wow, could you eat that much cheese?

Blake from Australia was challenged to eat an entire block of cheese - in which he did.

I think this ad would be much better if they replaced the "Double Whopper" with an Ocho...

It seems stories of anything bigger than a 4x4 are fast becoming legend. But it looks like Merwin Barrientos made it to In 'n' Out in time for this fine sounding challenge, a 26 x 26. He chose 26 pattys and 26 slices of American Cheese because the store record was a 25 x 25. This is one eating challenge that he won't soon forget, and won't soon be forgotten...

But he won't do it again . . .

Thursday, June 22, 2006 - 1:00 am - “Merwin won’t do it anymore,” my sister Alejandrina told me last week. “If he eats a 26x26 again, Merwin thinks he’ll die.” Earlier this year, 20-year-old Anaheim resident Merwin Barrientos ate a 26x26 at In-N-Out Burger: 26 hamburger patties glued together with 26 slices of American cheese. I didn’t believe Alejandrina until she produced pictures and videotape of a curly-haired man-child grimacing as he chewed on something that looked like an orange log.

The Japanese love their Supersized Meals, and this TV show dedicated a 10 minute segment to different available Supersized Meals around Japan, comparing the "standard" size and cost with the "Supersized" version. Awesome...
