Leader Board Update as of 07/25/09

// July 30th, 2009 // 15 Comments » // Announcements

This week, our fourth update, we’ve got a ton of new entrants breaching the top, and we’ve got some heavy eaters returning with a vengeance. I put out a bet in the last update and it seems to have come true. The board this week is proof that hard work and dedication seriously pay off. Stuffing one’s face has never been this GLORIOUS!

Oh, and I have an announcement. This week, we’re getting the top 25! That’s right, people. 5 more slots opened up, 5 more chances for you to get into the semi-finals.

I find that the most difficult thing to do every week is to come up with new nicknames. So guys, if you have nicknames you want, tell me so I can use those instead of the extremely uncreative ones I use. Thanks. All right, let’s get down to it.

Leader Board Update 07/18/09

// July 24th, 2009 // 10 Comments » // Announcements

This is the third update of our leader board and the competition is seriously heating up. The times are getting scorching fast. I don’t know if people just developed better techniques or if people are just getting used to stuffing five jumbo hot dogs into their faces. One thing’s for sure. People are taking this a lot more seriously now; no one’s lying down and just taking it lightly. The game is on now, friends.

Oh, and I’m running out of ideas for these banners. Ideas would be most welcome.

Leader Board Update 07/13/09

// July 14th, 2009 // 28 Comments » // Announcements

We’re rolling into the second update of our competition and it looks like a whole lot of you have stepped up their digestive game. We’ve got a new top dog with an amazing time, toppling our number one contender from last week. We also have a number of new entrants into the top 20, all with incredible, borderline inhuman eating times. Before we move on with the list, I want to remind all of you that this is far from over, these are just the current standings as of July 13, 2009. You still have until August 15, 2009 to reach the top 20 or get a higher rank to ensure yourself a spot.

Edit: This list has been updated. Again. Thanks, guys.

Leader Board Update 7/5/09

I just received the latest leader board standings. If you’re currently at the top 20, you’ll find your name here. You should check back here every once in a while to see ff you get toppled from the standings, and if you do, that’s going to be entirely your fault so you have to join again and do something about it.

7-Eleven Big Bite Match Event

// July 6th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Announcements, Fun Stuff, Videos

Last July 4, 2009, at the Rockwell Tent, 7-Eleven officially launched the Big Bite Match. Even though I was late for the event, I still managed to have a great time. The food was free, the music was good, the show was awesome, Goose was incredible, and oh, the food was free. Man, the food was good, too. I missed quite a bit, but I was told there was some speed talking or something, and some guy in a hotdog costume, making jokes packed with hot-dog-esque innuendo. Now, that’s something every man needs to see at least once in his life.

The crowd

There were a lot of people at the event, mostly supporters and media, but because the space was pretty big, it didn’t feel too stuffy, and I wasn’t exchanging bodily fluids with strangers, thought that might actually be fun. (more…)

The EAT Is On Six Days A Week!

// June 30th, 2009 // 2 Comments » // Announcements

Due to popular demand, the 7-Eleven Big Bite Match is shifting its schedules. To make it easier for you guys to enter the contest, 7-Eleven has made this even 3.5 times longer by extending the contest into 6 day a week event instead of the original Friday-Saturday schedule. You may now test your gastronomical fortitude from Mondays to Saturdays, from 11AM to 6PM!

Wanna go during your coffee break? GO! Wanna go during your lunch break? GO! Wanna go in between classes? GO! Wanna go after hitting the gym? BY ALL MEANS, GO! More time means you can bring more people to join the contest with you! Wanna bring your dad who absolutely adores hot dogs but can never really justify eating five of them in a row? HE HAS A REASON NOW! Wanna bring your entire barkada to see which one does it the fastest? BRING EVERYONE! Make it a family event!

Also, you must pardon my weak pun-creating powers. I have yet to develop that ability.

Do You Have The Appetite?

// June 25th, 2009 // 6 Comments » // Announcements

Okay, people, I need you guys to ask yourselves something. Do you have the appetite to be part of this growing international sport? (Yes, I ripped that straight off the text message I got.) Anyway, if you do indeed have the appetite for it and for some juicy elongated meat products, then have I got the event for you.

JULY 4, 2009, SATURDAY, at the ROCKWELL TENT: This is where it all begins! Be there and bring your game faces because it is ON! It is so on! 7-Eleven, also known as the life saver of college students everywhere, unveils the biggest NATIONWIDE Competitive Eating battlefield in the Philippines- The Big Bite Match Hot Dog Eating Contest! I bet you can’t say that five times really quick with hot dog bits in your mouth. Yeah, didn’t think so.

My little sister, training me for the contest.

Dicky Fellow VS Katarina Haligi!

// June 16th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Announcements

Is there a sight more majestic than a girl eating a hotdog? Yeah- two girls, eating multiple hotdogs, in a heated battle royale!

It is my pleasure to give you the video documentation of this epic rivalry, the sultry Katarina Haligi going up against a very determined Dicky Fellow. Huge hotdogs will be swallowed whole! Sauce will splatter everywhere! Little bits of slightly digested bread will fly across the room at extreme velocities! All of this while these two vixens also try to have an eating contest. To me, this is just further proof that there is a divine being out there who loves me.

Without further ado, I now present to you Dicky Fellow VS. Katarina Haligi!


Settle your beef with meat! While humiliating your friends, and taking every little shred of dignity away from them, you could even win some money!
