No, that's the thing, he couldn't. 35-40,000 ****ing calories of bacon. Not happening.

FYP. But if you were going to attempt it, apples is the closest you'd get without a POS exploit.

I don't think you're understanding the enormity of this. They train to eat something in the neighborhood of 10,000 calories in a short period of time. For this challenge, we're talking 30-40,000 calories or more - expanding your stomach isn't going to do it.

if noori is smart he will select a single item and order a multiple of it to reach $1k, no matter what the item is the mcdonalds will run out unless noori lets them know he's coming.
Then why would noori want to let him know he's coming?
I can't see how this helps him win the bet, though. Is McDonald's going to charge him for things they don't have? However, if this does work, it once again points to the apple slices as one of his best bets.

sure, he might be the first recorded human to develop diabetes overnight. but he shouldn't worry specifically about the caloric intake.
Yeah, I don't think it works that way. Just because you can fill your stomach on 0 calories (water), doesn't mean that calories aren't a factor in filling you up. I'm not a nutritionist though, so if you can provide some evidence that you can eat thousands of calories of sauce without it filling you up, I'd love to see it. Until then, I'm not buying it.
That said, the bigger factor is that ~3,000 packets of sauce is probably a lot more in volume than you'd think, as well.
