As previously mentioned, competitive eater Takeru Kobayashi went to town on a bunch of fruitcake this morning, all in the name of fighting hunger for the Food Bank of NYC. Word has come in that he had 4 pounds 8 ounces of the holiday "treat" in 10 minutes—more than any human should ingest, but still shy of Sonya Thomas' record (4 pounds 14 ounces). He told the Daily News, "It was very difficult to eat because it was so dense."
As an aside: Kobayashi lists eating 17.7 lbs of cow brains in 15 minutes on his resume...so this isn't going to bode well for fruitcake's already tarnished reputation.

Which one is the fruitcake.
Cow brains? That's one healthy snack. Creutzfeldt brain chips with Jakob's spinal cord dip, anyone?
How many toilets has this guy destroyed after these eating challenges?
Recession entertainment @ its finest. fight hunger by promoting a competitive eater.
nice.
eat it
eat it raw
raw,raw that's the spirit
I do hope the poor fella didn't try to keep it down!
His butt hole is going to hurt for a week if he tries to pass all that cake.
[4] Oh, come on. It's not like anybody else would have eaten that fruitcake, right? How much have you thrown out over the years?
Kobayashi's rep really took a beating this year. First he loses to Joey Chestnut for the second time, now he can't beat the Black Widow's record. Time to retire while you're still near the top, like Olympic gold or silver medalists. You don't want to be remembered as losing five or ten times.
It's like he's trying anything to reclaim the lost glory of the yellow mustard belt.
this feat is equivalent to going on a shopping spree to end the recession. what the hell kind of statement is it?!!
