    Would it hurt to have mentioned that Seiken is the current 2.7lb record holder? Instead they just mention the record at being 2.7lbs

    This is not meant to slam BB, so I hope it is not taken that way, but …

    Perhaps it’s because they’re trying to save the current record holder possible embarrassment when his pickle record gets lapped, to use one of Legs’ expressions.

    This is a much higher caliber of eaters today, versus what BB faced in the good ol’ days.

    Rhonda the inflated totals will occur if dill vinegar pickles from the jar are used for the contest. The true test of a champion is whether or not they can sustain the salt from the sour garlic dills which were used at the Carnegie Deli contest between Seiken and Jarvis in 2002 and 2004. Jarvis hold the 5 min record for sour garlic with 2.97. Anyone that goes past that amount using those specific kind of pickles is a true champ. Anything else is bullshit

    dont forget the biggest prize of all — BB’s bib he wore when HE became the pickle champ and he will autograph it for you and possibly present it in person.

    That makes sense BB—-good point. Then if a different type of pickle is used it should establish a separate record. Whether that will be the case or not remains to be seen.

    BB, I don’t think 6-minute pickles involves stomach capacity, but it might involve jaw strength. What’s your opinion on that?

    Also, what’s the contest duration? It might be on the IFOCE web site, but I rarely visit there anymore.

    Pickles are not a good food for Eater X. It’s too short a contest, it’s not a dunking event, and he is unable to use his best asset, which is stomach capacity. Therefore, he’s wisely saving expenses by passing up this one, considering the competition.

    He needs another shot at grits.

    So now Rhonda is having a conversation here with BB though he isn’t listed as such. BB as anonymous commenting on what he calls this fake website with fake Rhonda? The ironies continue.

    Anonymous you should get an account so you can log in, whereby your comments can be more meaningful. As it is the value (using that term lightly) of what you say next might be lost to antiquity.

    The Bib offering by BB is a thoughtful gesture, but I suspect he’ll get more out of keeping it than the winner will in receiving it. In another’s hands its life expectancy would probably be measured in minutes, if not seconds.

    BB don’t give your treasured keepsake away.

    No wonder people cannot follow conversations here. The only “people” listed are anonymous and Rhonda Evans. What am I missing? It would help if BB commented under BB?

    This is a different type of Pickle .The Record i’m sure will be separate just like other foods like doughnuts,wings,beans,so on and so on.

    BB record should not be touched unless it is a accurate type of this sort

    According to the IFOCE website Cookie Jarvis holds the record for sour pickles and that is what I was told we are eating on Sunday. So that means BB’s record will stand no matter the outcome Sunday right? That sucks about R.J. I was really looking foward to meeting him.

    The article dosen’t mention Bob coming to pickles?

    Make up your mind sour dill vinegar or sour garlic? If its sour garlic then it is a legit contest and may the best man or woman win

    Jarvis still has the record and it may stand

    You want me to comment as per your request i will comment. I currently own one 6 minute pickle title 2.7 lbs of vinegar dill pickles when i beat Kevin in an IFOCE title rally in Feb 2004 . I was the carnegie deli pickle champ in 2002 with 2.52 lbs of sour garlic pickles in 5 min until Ed Jarvis beat me int 2004 rematch with 2.97 which is a world record and a very impressive one at that. Big difference in taste between sour garlic and dill vinegar. The carnegie contests that were held after 2004 dont count as far as im concerned because they werent legit contests. Both the 2.7 and 2.97 records will be broken on Sept 12. That you can bet on. Sonya Joey & Bob are capable of setting records beyond those of mortal men. But for those of you that never ate pickles before and boast about the eaters putting up inflated numbers like 6 or 7lbs , please keep your mouth shut unless you tried it. Its not going to happen . This is not jalapenos . Thats why the set the time limit to 5 or 6 minutes tops. Anything greater could prove fatal I realize that most of you like to talk when you dont know what the hell you are talking about to begin with. If the pickles at the contest are out of the jar you have a better chance of putting up bigger numbers because its masked sodium. With the sour garlic you are consuming pure salt and not sodium based like the jars. Sour garlics are comparable to fresh jalapenos or pure garlio from the vegetable stand . After 2.5lbs of sour garlic, your blood pressure will skyrocket, you might feel dizzy or faint. so make sure you drink plenty of water when its over and i mean plenty.

    BB t/y for the advice. its nice when you have a post that is cool and not full of FU’s in it. you have something to offer and when you chill out and just post we listen. when you freak out we don’t

    I’ll add to BB’s advice.

    Track available bathroom(s) or stalls before the contest.

    Bring your own comfy toilet paper.

    When it hits it’ll hit hard. It’s like a free cleanse.

    If you do not have a legitimate chance of coming in the $$$ DON’T do it. It is not worth it.

    Anony 8:32 you must have me confused with someone else. I normally dont use profanity unless it calls for it. But when i respond back with foul gutter like words it is because it fits the person i am responding to.. It is very easy to tell if someone is trying to get a rise out of you. Just to add to Joe’s thoughts because he competed against me in pickles 2004, if they use the dill vinegar pickles from the jar you wont get that instant volcanic eruption after the contest . It might hit you several hours later and wont be that bad. If they use the carnegie deli sour garlic’s, be prepared to thit the nearest toilet 20 to 25 minutes after
