Y do people do this? I am serious. I'm not being judgmental. Just curious. What's the point?

I bet he took a good old dump in the morning.

Man Gulps Down 15-pound Burger With Toppings

Man At Pa. Restaurant Eats A 15-pund Burger With 5.2 Pounds Of Toppings In 4 Hours, 39 Minutes

CLEARFIELD, Pa., Oct. 16, 2008

(AP)
A chef at a western Pennsylvania Italian restaurant ate a 15-pound burger with 5.2 pounds of toppings in 4 hours and 39 minutes. Brad Sciullo, of Uniontown, is the first person to successfully eat the huge burger at Denny's Beer Barrel Pub, said pub owner Dennis Liegey.

The burger _ called the Beer Barrel Belly Bruiser _ include a bun, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onions, mild banana peppers and a cup each of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard and relish.

When asked what possessed him to eat a burger that big, the 5-foot-11, 180-pound Sciullo said: "I wanted to see if I could."

"I've always had a heck of a capacity and I can down about two gallons of water and I can do a gallon of milk in 20-some seconds," said Sciullo, a chef at Pasta Lorenzo's in Uniontown.

Liegey's pub in Clearfield _ a town about 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh _ has become known over the years for its massive burgers.

Sciullo, 21, ate his 20.2-pound sandwich Monday and said he was surprised he succeeded. He realized when he had gotten through half the burger in a half-hour that he had plenty of time to finish it up.

"About three hours into it, things got tough," Sciullo said. "It's exhausting. I chewed for five straight hours. I didn't talk."

As is customary in such challenges, Sciullo was appointed a pub escort. Philip Fimon, a pub cook, stayed with Sciullo through the eating frenzy, even going with him to the bathroom three times to make sure he didn't throw up, Liegey said.

For completing the challenge in the under-five-hour time limit, Sciullo won $400, three T-shirts, a certificate "and a burger hangover, as I call it," Liegey said.

**Fuzzy Bob** · 17-10-2008, 05:59 PM

That's gonna be one hell of a bowel movement

**sabang** · 17-10-2008, 06:04 PM

Thats even more stoopid than this:-

The worlds largest burger, made by Bobs BBQ right here in Pattaya. Thats Bob on the right.
At least this one was shared amongst the masses.

**barbaro** · 17-10-2008, 06:06 PM

I've met Bob. Nice fella.

Did Chinthee, eat it?

**AntRobertson** · 17-10-2008, 06:08 PM

Was a time when I would've had a crack at something like this. Probably could've managed it too.

Not any more though.

It's can't be healthy.

If you're not allowed to throw up, it's gotta be hard on the stomach and the digestive system.

Sadly Happyman that,s he way the world is, it regurgitates our guilt feelings when we make comparisons, like mi mother used to tell me in the 40s when I would not eat or finish my meal??? "some black boy would love to eat that as he is starving" so "he can have it then" did not go down well!!!

Oh no doubt, you'd definately be struggling for a while after.

I once ate 18 hamburgers from McD's in one sitting and was quite queasy for the next few days.

May I ask why?

Was this a betting situation?

No nothing like that. Actually I was thinking about it in relation to the question you asked in the OP and best I can come up with is simply because I could.

No real rhyme nor reason to it (although at the time I did it there was a special on with hamburgers at 50 cents and I happened to have the exact change on me).

**davearn** · 17-10-2008, 06:58 PM

20.2 pounds equates to about 9.5kg. a lot in one sitting but for 400 bills I'd give it a shot. They can keep the T-shirts just give me the bills

Faaaaaaaark me.

If I buy a bacon cheese double whopper at Burger King I open it and throw away half. I cannot even it one of those bastards.

**keda** · 17-10-2008, 08:37 PM

I normally have a ploplem finishing the odd BigMac, and not only on account of them being unfit for human consumption.

**kingwilly** · 17-10-2008, 08:57 PM

at McD's I only order the chicken or a small cheeseburger.

but then again I am only half the size of MtD

**Loy Toy** · 17-10-2008, 09:17 PM

Where's Dalton when you need him.

Would make mince meat of that hamburger and excuse the pun.

Used to go to McD's often with a mate of mine, without fail he'd order a whole shedload of food whilst I'd just order a burger or two. Also without fail he'd be unable to finish it so I'd take over.

Obviously compensating but now you have evidently found a better medium in TD to feed that appetite of yours although the queasiness is all ours......

Your sign is grammatically incorrect. And no, I'm not.

**Lorenzo** · 17-10-2008, 11:40 PM

Given the choice of getting laid or eating a 15 pound burger few would choose the burger.

You're my hero.

I thought, looking at your photos, that it was steroids.
