Bodybuilding supplement company sponsors decentralized eating contests
Controlled Labs, a bodybuilding supplement company, has sponsored eating contests for hard boiled eggs and cans of tuna. What makes their contests unique is they do not take place in a central location. Instead, competitors record their efforts and upload videos of their performances to youtube or Google video. A clock must be visible in the video at all times. Videos of the winning performances, 12 hardboiled eggs in a minute and 6.75 cans of tuna in 3 minutes are available on line. The company is currently seeking ideas for the food to be used in its third eating contest. Winners receive a year’s supply of Black Hole, an appetite enhancer that suppresses the impulse to feel full after eating a large meal.
The connections between bodybuilding and competitive eating are stronger than an outside observer would expect. Not only is Kobayashi an avid bodybuilder, several other top eaters including Tim Janus, Bob Shoudt and Chip Simpson are into weightlifting as well. It would be interesting to see if Sonya Thomas working out with weights would improve her eating ability.
