This is True

Food Fight III

Mait Lepik is the winner of Estonia’s first banana-eating contest. His secret: the rules said no assistants, so with no one to peel the bananas for him to save time, he ate them with the skins still on. Lepik managed to slip down 10 bananas in three minutes to capture the title. (AP) ...Perhaps next year, Lepik will best that record by using Nakajima’s secret, alternating eating the bananas and the skins, rather than cramming both down together.
