![]() 2002 saw the record-setting challenge of eating 57 cow brains in 15 minutes by a competitive eater in Japan, Takeru Kobayashi. Takeru Kobayashi – 57 Cow Brains in 15 Minutes Although we have seen a rise in food challenges over the past couple of years, the early 2000’s definitely holds the record for the, shall we say usual, challenges. To this day, Ken still holds the record for eating 36 live cockroaches in 60 seconds. Much to PETA, and Ken Edward’s dismay the challenge still went ahead although all efforts to break this record failed. As you can imagine, this didn’t go down too well with animal activists, PETA, and in 2006 they chastised Six Flags theme parks for their idea of giving away a free VIP season pass to whoever could beat his record. Ken Edwards, from Derbyshire in the UK, decided he’d like to take on the challenge of eating 36 Madagascan cockroaches in just 1 minute, and he did just that – there’s definitely no room for hesitation in this record-breaking challenge! Not only can this species of roaches grow up to 3 inches long, but Ken also consumed his platter of crunchy bugs whilst they were still alive. Ken Edwards – 36 Live Cockroaches in 60 Seconds Have you ever wondered what it’s like to eat a live cockroach? Perhaps 36 of them? Nope, us neither! But that’s exactly what Ken Edwards wondered back in 2001. What’s more, it’s 28 ounces of salted butter! Lovely… Many have attempted Don’s challenges in the hope of coming out victorious but luckily for Don, the record is firmly placed in his hands. Don “Moses” Lerman, a very competitive New Yorker, has achieved a fair few records for eating challenges over the past decade, with food competitions including: 6lb of baked beans in 1 minute and 48 seconds, and munching his way through 11 burgers in ten minutes (that’s a lot of bread!) but by far, his weirdest record to date has to be eating his way through 28 ounces of butter in 5 minutes. Regardless of the fact that Don has achieved this in 5 minutes, he has actually consumed 28 ounces of butter – that’s equivalent to the weight of two footballs! We’re wondering how much butter he’s actually consumed throughout his lifetime in order to train for this record-breaking challenge. Take a look at their not-so-mouthwatering faves below: Don Lerman – 28 Ounces of Butter in 5 Minutes Yep, you read that right, 28 ounces of butter. ![]() We decided to take a closer look at, not only at the record-breaking food challenges, but the frankly obscene foods that these individuals have decided to indulge upon, complete with illustrations. Food challenges are quickly becoming a thing in today’s society, and we aren’t complaining! Restaurant after restaurant are opening with insane food challenges that end up with the completant feeling victorious, and rather ill, but it doesn’t stop us going that one step further and breaking world records! Guinness World Records have been going for over 60 years now and, as you can imagine, the food records held within this time has risen massively.
