Super super size me. This prop bet is pure madness. That fast food stuff isn't that healthy to begin with, and then he will go for at least 10 times the calories, one normaly consumes. Guy surely likes to go all in.

not really interested, somehow these prop bets begin to fade for me at least, all of them are just coordinated pr stunts in order to get some visibility for themselves and/or some brands involved in the action. and those so called prizes.. i think they are just given in public and taken back in the backstage...

So, he has to eat $1k worth of food at McDonald's in 36 hours? This sounds absurd. Many foods are full of unhealthy fat, calories, cholesterol, carbs, and sodium. I have to say, I admire his guts. Really. Taking on such a challenge should not be underestimated!

At first glance, i thought, that this was a very winnable wager but it is beginning to look more and more unlikely. 66,000 calories in a day and a half sound impossible and i cant wait to see how it plays out

well he would not accept bet if he doesnt think that he have any sort of edge, and think that is preaty doable.... I think its almoust impossible if you are not 300kg heavy, but if he accepted bet, than I dont know what to think...

Perhaps it was the better idea for his health to eat the money directly It seems, that some poker pros have to much money or they feel boring at the poker tables... But why not, he can eat a lot of children menu and collect some gifts

When you have so much money that you dont care of losing it in any way, then you go and do things like this bet. Cause if it mattered to you, you would prefer to either keep the money, or do a smarter investment

I do not think that he has so much money he can lose it eith no pain, so I think that he decide that it is a good chance to him to win this bet, even when guys make crazy bets they always do so because they think there is a good chance to win something.

Well if he doesnt have that much and he is worried about losing then it is simply a dumb bet. At the end the one who has to eat all that, he might get sick out of it, but it is not something impossible to do. Although if he is a bit thin for the job. from what is see in the pic

lol you dont have to be fat to eat lots. like the people who do those competitive eating comps arent fat. when I was thin I could eat 2 large pizzas and a garlic bread in one go. plus with places like mcdonalds the food only make you full for an hour or so and then you are hungry again.
It seems, that some
