    And Chugging Contest.

    Question on chugging: I have seen some chuggers who can do up to two liters by pretty much having the ability to pour it straight down their throats.
    I guess what I am asking is… Do any of these folks with that ability have a real chance of beating Badlands with a cold gallon out of a jar???
    Obviously some of the top eaters can do 30 seconds or less, but the youtube chuggers I see usually focus on smaller bottles of popular drinks.
    Seriously, good luck to anyone willing to give it a shot.

    Chugging should be banned altogether and especially on youtube

    2:56. Nobody in the chug-off this year will come close to beating Badlands. Chugging a gallon is different than chugging a liter or 1.5 liters (never seen ANYONE chug a liter right down their throat in one gulp). Also, if it is out of a single container (instead of multiple cups), it also favors Badland versus the YouTube “one-gulp” chuggers.

    Gallon ain’t cold, or Nathan’s lemonade. Booker’s opponents open throat for short period. I doubt they have capacity it takes to get The Belt. Which better be a new design like hotdog belts.
