When I was young I bet someone $5 I could eat three double cheeseburgers, with the works, in something like 10 minutes. May have been Wendy's. I remember I was hungry at the time and really thought I could do it. I almost did. I had all of the last burger in my mouth as time was running out but just couldn't swallow it and lost the bet.

I remember I didn't feel well on the way home. Actually thought I might be having a heart attack at one point but it turned out to be indigestion. Didn't realize that until someone gave me some antacids and I felt fine.

The strangest thing is that I kind of feel proud about that to this day.
