Use a dip?

Been told I'm doing it next weekend... 3000 calories yum!

Done it?

Never even heard of it

Unless it's like the Big Mac Challenge but for the under 5s

Is it 10 cheeseburgers as fast as you can?

If so, I couldn't manage it...I'd barf. McDonald's food is so beneath me I can't even see down that far to what it looks like. 🙂

How long do you have to eat for or how many burgers are you aiming for? Prepare to feel very ill from quantity and (lack of) quality! 🙂

Edit - doh too slow!

Small bites, quickly. with sips of water, not fizzy pop.

Folk will be along shortly to tell you how vulgar and disgusting you are, and how you could give the food to a homeless person.

good luck!

As I tend to do the iDave thing 6 days a week and the occasional proper pig-out day a colleague has suggested I try the McNuggets challenge - 100 of the blighters - sounds grim. He's seen someone attempt it and only get to 26 whilst sweating profusely and feeling very sick.

Think I'll pass and just have my usual curry & beer treat.

That is absolutely rank, you should be disgusted.

Burger King is so much better.

remove the meat from the buns, wet the bread and eat first then scoff the fillings.

Sauce is your friend.

10 cheese burgers one sitting
Have taxi'd rocket jr and his mates to the drive thru a few times and 2 cheeseburgers don't even touch the sides. I imagine they could quite easily eat 10 in one sitting.

When I didn't know any better, young, dumb, and full of c....... etc.

10 cheeseburgers and a large strawberry shake, pretty regular.

I did feel rather full afterwards mind.

Ikea did a meatball challenge a few years ago. Buy 20 and they would keep topping up. The "winner" from each store would go to the final in Stockholm. I was on the leader board in the Wednesdbury store until the day before the closing date. 124 meatballs. I was beaten by 20. Never found out what the overall winner managed to eat.

We used to do a McMeal challenge - Big Mac, Large Fries and a Triple-thick shake - aim was to eat as many meals as possible, part meals don't count.

I once managed three.

(This is going back 20+ years and I weighed around 9.5 stones at the time).

10 bog-standard cheesburgers, like the one's in happy meals?

Piece of pi$$, unless there's a sub 15-min (and that's generous) time limit.

If you're allowed to buy them one at once you'll have plenty of time to digest between courses 😉

Don't get me wrong, you'll be full by the end and a bowl of all-bran in the morning might not go amiss, but I can't see it being much of a challenge.

Is there a time limit?

One of my mates did 12 Big Macs, one after the other. It wasn't a challenge. He's a big bastard, and he was just hungry, mid-all-day-session. But then he did something unforgivable, and quite frankly deeply deeply disturbing, that none of us could have predicted.

THIS….

Why?!! Why would you do that?!!!! We never got a satisfactory answer 😯

You do know that you are allowed to refer them as portly Scottish gentlemen don't you, Binners?

I like the fillet-o-fish as a side order.

10 cheeseburgers would be a doddle i reckon!

I went to KFC last night for the first time in a long time.
It tasted quite nice.

I've done that with a Big Mac (the burger, not the Scottish Gentleman)

I used to work for Ronald many years ago. I have had most combinations of the food there, some good (surf and turf - big mac bun, quarter pounder in te bottom, filet o fish in the top) and some bad (fizzy hot chocolate).
I once ate the menu (1 serving of everything) in a night before. Strangely enough, I did put on a few pounds back then.

Is darcy further up his own jacksie today or have I just not noticed him recently?

Only asking like 😀

as a student, obviously, I once ate 17 deep pan pizza slices (nearly 3 pizzas) at the Pizza Hut all-you-can-eat buffet.
I could have maybe crammed another couple in but the competition (my 18 stone Welsh friend) had given up at 14.

I once got 52 of those flying saucers sweets in my mouth at once. They dry the mouth somewhat, it was a tricky swallow (steady).

When I was on my brother's stag weekend, one of the stag's with a reputation for being a Greedy B****** bet the rest of the group he could eat one of everything off the menu*. If he did we paid for the food and his beer for the rest of the day.

He did it and we paid dearly!!

*One Large Fries and 20 McNuggets (rather than S,M,L fries and 6, 9 & 20 nuggets)

Anyone ever tried a jaffa cake centurion? A bit like the drinking game - 100, one a minute for 100 minutes - but with jaffa cakes. It's a toughy - in fact I don't know anyone who has managed it.

As tall as you are, and I know you're MASSIVE, that still managed to make it over your head. 🙂

Never tried it but 10 cheeseburgers sounds like a piece of cake.

Never heard of it.

Did it a few times back when calories didn't have any effect on me 🙂

Still wouldn't see it as a challenge though really. The cheeseburgers are tiny, three bites maximum (in polite company 🙂 )

8 Big Macs when I was a student, we had some buy one get one free vouchers I bought a Big Mac and had a free one, finished it and said I could eat that again, my mate said I couldn't so I said if he paid for it I would eat it and I did this was then repeated with the other two mates on the table.

I couldn't do it now but still carry the weight as if I did.

I only tried one eating challenge, the one everyone thinks they can do but I've never seen anyone succeed.

Three Jacob's cream crackers in 90 seconds. That's all, just three flimsy light crackers...

Can you eat five double cheeseburgers instead? Does that count?

I could do it, I think. They're pretty small and taste good enough.

I've done 5 BigMacs at one go. I was about 21 at the time. Can't recall it was that difficult.
The same night consisted of several bottles of NewcastleBrown & a pint of Snakebite & Black. 😥
The bread would probably be the killer for 10 Cheeseburgers.

I did 18 on my 18th birthday (1996) and I'm sure they were bigger 'back in the day'.

I remember feeling pretty ill for most of that afternoon's economics lesson though.

Sounds do-able.

surf and turf - big mac bun, quarter pounder in the bottom, filet o fish in the top

It's a shame you have to work at McDonalds to experience this.
