MN Guy Expo wing winner admits cheating
In MetroMag.com, Scott Schneweis describes the techniques which resulted in him being named the winner of the wing eating contest at the Guy Expo in St. Paul, Minnesota:
Desperate and miserable, I picked up a wing with my left hand and slid it into the side of Todd’s tray while I ate another one with my right hand. He laughed, sending chicken wing bits flying. Then he grabbed my chicken wing and put it in on the top of his pile. Chewing, we looked around. No one seemed the wiser.
Realizing what was at stake, Todd started making weird eating noises and talking to the crowd and the judge with his mouth full. It wasn’t a pretty sight, but he was distracting the crowd. I slid him four more chicken wings.
