World Record Mayo-Eater


Why Michelle Why?

So recently my wife shared a Facebook post with me that was so disturbing it inspired me to revisit my h8mayo blog after an over 2-year hiatus. So apparently Michelle "Cardboard Shell" Lesco is the World Record holder for mayonnaise eating, consuming 2,448 g (86.35 oz) – which is the equivalent to 3.5 jars in 3 minutes.  While I find this to be uttering disgusting and upsetting (especially to my stomach) I oddly respect someone who can achieve this.  A person who can eat massive amounts of pizza or hot dogs or ice cream doesn't garner nearly as much respect because those things at least taste pleasant (albeit maybe not in extreme quantities); but mayo??? 

I have had friends and co-workers dare me to eat a tablespoon full of mayonnaise.  They have even offered to pay me to do it (as much as $100 one time) and I can't bring myself to eat it.  And here Michelle is eating giant spoon fulls (over 191 tablespoons!!) like its vanilla pudding.  I won't even eat one tablespoon for $100, and I can almost guarantee I would at the very least be nauseous of the smell before the spoon even reached my mouth. Yet, here she is piling it in without even a grimace...this is a feat that can only be described as astounding (or bewildering).  

Here's a thought, can you imagine kissing her after this stunt?  That, my fiends, would be an achievement of it's own.  Perhaps there is a Guinness world record for longest french kiss with someone who just finished eating 3 1/2 tubs of mayonnaise. I can assure you that would be a record few would attempt.  For now, this just reminds me of how much I love my wife who, like me, despises mayonnaise and mayo-based condiments as much as I do.
