      Mas ele não engole cada colherada, ele leva o macarrão a boca e deixa cair a metade, deveria engolir na primeira, concerteza terminaria ainda mais rápido.

The lady gave you a helpful tip when she suggested you use a spoon towards the very end. Honestly, I don't know where you guys put all that foooood!!! My stomach is hurting a bit from a double bacon cheeseburger. Plus onion rings and a milkshake. Was too much for me. Oh, I had a few cookies and water. Anyway, I couldn't take it. Evidently my stomach is still digesting that meal. I could never hold much food. So, the meal I described was me pigging out! Not the norm. Cause, my stomach hurts a bit.
    Anyway, enjoyed watching you. Again, I don't know where you guys put all that food.

    Could they have made the dish any dryer than that😳😳😳😳 Is it my imagination, but when I saw some others do this challenge, like Molly Schuyler, Brandon Clark, amongst others, they had a wetter red pasta sauce on it?? Lord have MERCY! CONGRATULATIONS Eli!🥇🤜💥🤛💪
    Edited: Also is it my imagination that the overall food portion is bigger, AND there are a whole lot more meat balls than previously before for this challenge? It just seems like a lot of places (not accusing this place) are making the challenges near impossible by making the portions absolutely ridiculous.

    • @EliLessig

      I'm not sure but I doubt that it is very consistent. They probably don't weight out items and make it so little that every person will get the exact same amount.

    Question for you. There are times when I over eat and don't realize it at that moment. I feel uncomfortable about an hour after. So when is the "full" feeling worse for you after a challenge?

    • @EliLessig
      @EliLessig  ปีที่แล้ว

      Sometimes larger amouts of meats can be difficult to process. Typically the saltier challenges are worse because you want to drink a lot afterwards but you don't have any room for it.
