Joey Chestnut Breaks World Popcorn-Eating Record

Professional eater Joey Chestnut broke a new world record for the sport when he ate 32 servings of popcorn — 24 ounces each — in 8 minutes.

Chestnut crunched and munched on enough popcorn to break the previous record of 28.5 servings set last year.

Chestnut’s new record in the World Popcorn-Eating Challenge is his 50th competitive eating world record. He has set — and broken — the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog and bun eating record 15 times. His other records include eating 182 chicken wings in 30 minutes and 18 pounds, 9.6 ounces of St. Elmo shrimp cocktail in eight minutes.
