Kobayashi Fails To Break Fruitcake Record

Competitive eater Takeru Kobayashi has won awards for eating hot dogs, hamburgers, dumplings, bratwurst, lobster rolls, cow brains, and rice balls. But he completely gave up on the world record at a fruitcake eating competition!

With only a 1/2 pound to go at 8 minutes, Kobayashi began crumbling the nutty cake before jamming it into his mouth, a technique that seemed effective. “Koby! Koby! Koby!” the crowd of about two dozen shouted, as his pace quickened.

By 8 minutes and 35 seconds, Sonya Thomas’ 2001 record was still almost a pound out of his reach. In the end, Kobayashi managed to eat 4 pounds and 8 ounces. “It was very difficult to eat because it was so dense,” Kobayashi said through a translator, admitting that he had never eaten the cake before.

The fruitcake record remains at 4 pounds 14 ounces, eaten in ten minutes. The event held Friday raised funds for a food bank in New York City.
