you guys ever see those YouTube videos of professional mukbangers doing some kind of like food challenge where they have to eat a ridiculous amount of food in like 45 minutes or less and you ever think to yourself I could do that like I could body that especially when it’s something that like I like to eat which usually happens with the Japanese ones or the Korean ones where they’re just eating a tub of udon or like a six pound steak with rice or Korean barbecue I mean that’s easy that’s light work come on you know most of the time I barely manage to eat like two meals a day um and most of them are like cereal or quesadillas or pasta um but I know for a fact that I could body at least one challenge maybe not all of them but there’s been a couple where I’m like I feel super confident on those um even though I know I couldn’t because I have literal proof of it I tried finishing just a single simple bag of raviolis and I barely could do it and by the end of it it was like 20 minutes and I was dying at the end
