Matt “Megatoad” Stonie, a semi-professional competitive eater, set a new world record last weekend by putting away 182 slices of bacon in just five minutes. That’s over 7,600 calories and a whopping six pounds of fatty meat – or just over 11 full packs of your typical package of bacon. Stonie said, “As one of the youngest competitive eaters on the circuit, I’m always looking to push myself so I aimed to eat 150 slices, but when I passed that and got to 182 slices, I knew it must be because I’m fueled by bacon!” Stonie reportedly holds world records for eating the most gyros, birthday cake, frozen yogurt and pumpkin pie.
