Cadbury Creme Egg challenges

(From Liz K comment) An article in Salon.com describes the author’s attempt to eat 30 Cadbury Creme Eggs in an hour (He managed half his goal)

In the years since, the story has been retold many times, by me and by others. I used to finish its telling with a flourish of face-saving braggadocio, challenging any man alive to finish more than 15 of those damn eggs in an hour. But I know better now. The world — and the Web — is lousy with more seasoned stomach-stuffers. Surely someone can do it, and will. Sonya “the Black Widow” Thomas has already put Cool Hand Luke to shame, downing 65 hard-boiled eggs in six minutes and 40 seconds. Gawker.com recently chronicled a shockingly similar (and independently conceived, from what I can tell) contest wherein two Maxim interns each attempted 50 Creme Eggs, though they had all day to do it (and failed as miserably as I).

The Maxim interns attempt at that challenge is documented at http://www.gawker.com/news/culture/party-crash/maxim-at-work-a-look-inside-the-magazine-industry-035752.php
