The planet Bismoll in the DC Comics universe
Joey Chestnut will compete in the final contest of this summer’s Pepto-Bismoll Challenge series at the Buffalo Wing Festival today against two teams of five amateurs, but he is not the biggest eater associated with the pink liquid. In the DC Comics Legion of Super Heroes series, all natives of the planet Bismoll can consume any amount of any organic or inorganic material. The name Bismoll is reportedly a pun on Pepto-Bismol.
The two most famous Bismollians are Matter-Eater Lad (first appearance 1963) and Calorie Queen (first appearance 1975), who has been modified so her strength increases in proportion with the amount of matter she consumes. Some panels from the comics:
