Eddie “Bozo” Miller, who once ate 27 2-pound chickens at one sitting (for a bet), died this week. Among his accomplishments, he had slurped down more than 300 ravioli and he told the Oakland Tribune that he once chowed down 12 club sandwiches.
He had diabetes and other health problems, but the 5-foot-7-inch man — who once weighed 330 pounds — lived 89 years, and “never really had indigestion,” he told the Tribune.
Reading about Miller made us curious about other eating records, like the fastest consumption of a 12-inch pizza and the most Ferrero Rocher chocolates unwrapped and eaten in one minute. Guinness World Records has documented them (and other “unusual skills,” like turkey plucking).
