Elvis Presley’s fans gather in Biloxi, Mississippi to commemorate

sushi eating record by eating an incredible 141 pieces of
sushi in 6 minutes.
MAYONNAISE EATING COMPETITION
A part of the Glutton Bowl, a two-hour competitive eating special,
the mayonnaise eating competition is arguably the most unhealthful
contest on this list. The winner of this discipline, Oleg Zhornitskiy,

of this condiment.
CURRY EATING CONTEST
Edinburgh, Scotland hosts an annual curry eating competition.

standby during this “spicy” event.

The record for eating live cockroaches is held by Ken Edwards of

roaches in one minute. In 2012, a man died after eating dozens
of live roaches in a similar contest in Florida.
DONKEY PENIS EATING CONTEST
To try the craziest and most outrageous eating contest on the list,
you have to travel to Beijing, China. In this competition, 3 buckets
are provided for each contestant. One is crammed with roasted
donkey penises, the second is filled with a dipping sauce and the
third is for gagging up chunks of half-digested penises to
avoid choking.
WORLD ICE CREAM EATING CHAMPIONSHIP
Ice cream eating contests are held in many countries but it was at
the 2014 World Ice Cream Eating Championship in Florida where
the new world record for this discipline was achieved. Joey Chestnut,
a holder of several other eating records, he gulped down 15 pints
(7.1 litres) of ice cream in 6 minutes.
SHRIMP WONTON EATING CONTEST
Another eating competition dominated by Joey Chestnut, the
Shrimp Wonton Eating Contest is held in Singapore. In May 2010,
Chestnut set the world record for this crazy contest by devouring
380 shrimp wontons in 8 minutes.
