Pictures from the Gallon Challenge held last weekend have been posted to the contest website. Two entrants were apparently able to finish their gallon of milk successfully, but most of the attempts produced the expected results.

    Oh yeah, ew. It’s really too bad Joey couldn’t have snuck in there for a joke. The look on their faces would have been priceless.

    That IS gross. I agree with Hall. And the first time that happens in front of a national TV audience (with the eater facing the camera) the sport will take a big blow. And it WILL happen at some point in time, no doubt. But it will attract the gutter trash viewers who look at CE as a sideshow.

    In an IFOCE event it won’t.

    I’m the organizer of the Annual Gallon Challenge, and I’m a little bit surprised to see that even people interested in competitive eating (CE) would shy away from our event. I just don’t see how drinking a gallon of milk is gross, but eating 53 and 3/4 hot dogs is not. None of the participants or press at our event considered it a sideshow despite what some of the commenters here would suggest. And to the comment authors above, sorry, but CE isn’t just limited to the foods that you want it to be limited to. However an invitation remains should you wish to test your mettle and join us next year.

    That’s all good, but this challenge seems more about glorifying puking milk

    Milk chugging is awesome! I have done it a few times myself and think the idea is fun. The only thing that I thought was gross was the numerous pictures of people having a reversal of fortune. Viva leche!

    Yo Mama, the puking is just par for the course.

    Gallon Challenge: Your event should be carnival lore because it is fun but gross. You have a great sideshow/gross-out idea. Have you gotten ahold of the Fear Factor folks?

    The big difference between competitive eating and “gallon challenges” is that gallon challenges are based on who can drink a gallon of milk and puking is usually the main attraction (which explains the many photos of the act), whereas CE is about who can eat the most food, and throwing up is a rare and taboo event. If it does happen, it’s rarely seen or photographed and NEVER cheered and glorified.

    Gallon challenges are events in which most contestants fail (i.e. puke) and the reversals are usually the highlight of the contest. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen gallon challenges and I’ll admit, I find them oddly entertaining, but it’s hard to put them in the same category as competitive eating. Now hard boiled egg contests…that’s where the two meet in a very weird and disgusting gray area.

    And with that, I’m off to compete in a wing eating contest. Later!

    I think that drinking a gallon of milk at one sitting is rather impressive, whether you have a reversal afterwards or not. Anyone who doesn’t probably hasn’t tried it. That is one of the ways I practice for an event except with water.

    I just find it odd that an individual such as Joey or Takeru can finish this thing without much effort, but even the most gung-ho competitive eaters shy away from it.

    I’m not a competitive eater, and I’ve completed it twice (1 gallon vitamin D in thirty-eight minutes w/out vomiting at all) and a gallon of chocolate milk (twenty-four minutes without vomiting).

    What’s the big deal?

    Now, I’ve also tried this with V-8 as well, but the expected (vomiting) occurred with that one. Oh, well.
