When you’re a competitive eater you eat, that’s pretty much the rule! Over the Memorial Day weekend, competitive eating legend Joey Chestnut eclipsed his own popcorn-eating world record by consuming 42 servings of 24-ounce popcorn in just eight minutes at the Rural King store in Terre Haute, Indiana. Surpassing his previous record of 32 servings set in 2022. Chestnut employed a strategy of drinking water with each swallow to aid in consuming the dry snack and maintained a steady rhythm throughout the challenge. Hundreds of spectators gathered to witness the event, celebrating Chestnut’s latest accomplishment in the world of competitive eating.
