VCU Moonpie Madness
A blog about the Moonpie Madness contest to be held at Virginia Commonwealth Univerisity has been set up at http://moonpiemadnessdave.blogspot.com/. The blogger describes the event:
MoonPie Madness stands to be the largest MoonPie eating contest to ever be held. Ever. At VCU at least. But for the record, we haven’t heard of any other eating contests to have over 64 people competiting on the same day, and we’re estimating to have at least 84 “gurgataters” so I’d say we’re safe in making that claim. 84 gurgataters! MoonPies!?! How’s this all going down? Well, here’s the deal:
There’s 2 competitions going on the sacred day of April 1st. An exhibition (a classic eating contest where everyone has 5 minutes to out eat each other, and try to break the unofficial record of 15 in 5 minutes), and as I like to call it, The Grand Tourney” (a March Madness themed eating contest where 64 students will go through 6 – 2 minute rounds and work their way through the bracket.)
I think some Japanese contests have had more than 84 entrants, but I am not aware of any US contests with that large a field. The contest is restricted to VCU students only.

Hey, this is Dave the blogger for the event, and one of the founders. I just wanted to clear up that there’s actually 2 contests going on that day. The Grand Tourney (which is restricted to VCU undergrads), and the Exhibition (which is open to any and everyone.) On top of all of that though, I’d like to invite everyone to come out, check out our band Downbeat Switch, play some MoonPie Plinko, and just have a good time. It’s free for everyone, with an after party at Tiki Bobs afterwards.
Thanks for repping the blog!
Dave
