Some Crazy Food Challenges Around The World
Eating competitions are something that may make people fascinated, interested, or repulsed all at the same time. Food challenges can be thrilling for many of us, as well as potentially hazardous. Even when we don’t think we want to see it or hear about it, we just can’t help ourselves from doing so.

In 2002, he ate 28 ounces of salted butter in just five minutes, which allowed him to break the world record for butter ingested in such a short amount of time.
It’s safe to say that pizza is a crowd favourite, and it’s not uncommon for people to compete with one another over how much they can eat or how quickly they can consume it.
