I’m all for eating pancakes. Yum. And I’m all for eating contests, too. I mean, I probably wouldn’t ever enter one, but there’s something intriguing about seeing a mass of people trying to proclaim their superiority over one another by inhaling gluttonous amounts of food. Or was that morbidly gluttonous amounts of food?
Apparently, a man died recently after winning a pancake eating competition in Russia. At least he won. Maybe next time you’re told to watch what you eat, you’ll listen.
According to those who witnessed the event, he at least enjoyed the pancakes he was eating, and was the most active participant in the contest. That ended quickly when “…he started foaming at the mouth and went down like a sack of stones.”
Poor chap.
