You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™
1,200 potatoes.
Not planted. Not harvested. Not used as floatation device.
We’re talking consumed.
1,200 spuds eaten. Eaten, not by an entire prison block of murderers, by a fire house full of heroes or by a bunch of guys at a keg party.
I’m talking One man. 1,200 potatoes. CONSUMED!
CrAzY!
DATELINE: Moses Lake, Washington:
For sixty straight days, this guy ate, chewed, swallowed, digested nothing but a steady diet of spuds.
No eggs or chicken or hamburger. Just spuds. No beer or pickles or chocolate chip cookies. Just spuds.
POTATOES POTATOES POTATOES.
This man with the cast iron constitution is named Chris Voigt and he obviously has a bizarre, If not unnatural love affair with Idaho’s primary export outside of domestic terrorism.
This human version of Spuds Mackenzie is the Executive Director of the Washington Potato Commission.
He’s the Ted Kazinsky of eating. He the uni-bomber of digestion. He is the Aryan Nation of food products that are mostly white.
This guy is definitely putting his spud where his spud hole is.
Voigt reportedly wrote on his website that he took up the challenge to “remind the public about the nutritional value of potatoes.”
That’s like Captain Morgan proclaiming that limes prevent scurvy.
Yeah Right!This dude claims he started eating 20 potatoes a day. I can’t eat cheesy fries without going for the Pepto.
Eating 20 potatoes a day would make Nathan’s Hot Dog world eating championTakeru Kobayashi puke.
So Voigt says he cooked the spuds in oil. Like that would spice things up.
He says he used plenty of salt and some seasoning to invigorate his taste buds. You know what, I don’t care how much salt you put on a potato, it’s never going to become a fillet.
20 spuds a day.
That’s like eating glue mixed with a derelict’s saliva.
140 potatoes a week.
That’s like chewing sidewalk cement and washing it down with stagnant bile.
600 potatoes a month?
It’s enough to make an Irishman wish for a potato famine.
I mean too much of anything is too much.
Can you imagine eating 20 tootsie rolls a day? How about 20 sardines? How about 20 heads of lettuce?
Dude go get a Big Mac and do yourself a favor. Hold the fries.
It’s just crazy.
