I'm going to sue IHOP

[Stretch]

IHOP's running a promotion with All You Can Eat Pancakes for $4.99 through the end of the month.

I left the office at 4 pm yesterday to check it out with a college buddy to see how many we could down. We started out with an order of cheese sticks, and then the pancakes started coming.

They start you out with a stack of five, then keep them coming in threes until syrup starts coming out of your pores instead of sweat. Six reloads later, I had downed 21 pancakes, copious amounts of butter pecan syrup, leaving two lone pancakes and several balls of butter staring me in the face at the end.

Fast forward to 6 pm - I get the most insane headache imaginable, and am jammed so full in the middle that I consider taking the sorority girl way out and puking my guts out. I somehow manage to distract myself and eventually crash for the night.

I woke up this morning and realized immediately I wouldn't make it to work. I still feel like shit. Someone shoot me.

[Allereli]

Did you take some home for the pirahnas?

[CrystalTears]

OMG STRETCH IS ABUSING THE ALL YOU CAN EAT OFFER! 21 PANCAKES?! YOU PIG!

I miss pancakes and IHOP. :(

LOL

I went to hometown buffet and they cut me off after 127 plates! WTF I WILL SUE THEM.

Also, I am not a sorority girl, but I do make myself throw up if I over-eat to that sort of extent.. the feeling of being that full is intolerable to me. So I don't think I could have faulted you for purposefully barfing up some of that pancakey not-so-goodness.

Begin "OMG U R BULIMIC!!" comments now.

"Pancakes, Pancakes -
talking 'bout pancakes
Earth-shaking, bowel-quaking,
heart-breaking flatcakes.
Taste so good
when I put em in my face;
Hot syrup and butter
and flour are great."

By someone. Not me.

Holy shit...

That's not healthy...

You guys must have huge stomachs.

And I concur that it was a rookie mistake to order cheesesticks first.

Bulimics are rarely actually thin.

When I worked at subway, there was this girl who would come in, order a footlong meatball sub with mayonnaise (She was the only non-asian who I ever saw make that order), chips, and three cookies...and then vomit it all up in the bathroom before leaving. She was probably 175ish. After having to clean up her mess one day, I started leaving bulimic pamphlets in the bathroom.

She never came back.

I know the feeling. About two or three years ago I participated in the Waffle House 100 dollar challenge which involved 4 friends and 100 dollars of waffle house food. I know that only works out to 25 dollars per person but you had to eat everything that came with it, I've never been so full in my life.

so they suckered you into spending $25 on their food?

[Drew]

The genesis of it was a more typical waffle house meal at like 4am. We were sitting there looking at the menu and the dinner we had eaten at like 8pm was like 25 bucks. So we went about trying to figure out how much 25 bucks would buy at waffle house (At the time I believe the most expensive item was the sirloin "steak" which cost $6.99). We were marveling at the mammoth amounts you'd have to eat when one of us said they could do it easy which eventually spiraled into the waffle house challenge.

The car ride home from which was probably one of the worst experiences I've ever had and I've had compound fractures and bones set without any anesthetic :tumble: But I did it. I finished. Only 2 of us finished. 1 vomited, the other gave up.

[Drew]

I felt quite accomplished, so yeah, I guess that would be the classic definition of sucker. On the other hand, it's probably more substantial than anything you've done with your life. I view it right up there with childbirth or a post doctorate.

I did that once, I was with a bunch of friends at someone's house, and I ate so fucking much that I was in a lot of pain. So I went to the bathroom to try and relieve myself via the upchuck, and one of my moronic friends decided it would be hilarious to barge in on me and flash me her boobs (and preemptively, there was no lock on the door). When she saw me leaning over the toilet with my finger down my throat she ran to tell the mom of the house that I was bulimic because I was making myself puke.

I then had to sit through a lecture and defend myself. I punched that tattle tale bitch in her tit later on.

Seriously, especially now that they have the fondue appetizer.... omg the breadsticks are so win in that plate of creamy gouda goodness.

I like pancakes as much as the next person, but why would you eat till you were sick? I think I'd be feeling pretty sick just after the first five, let alone 16 more.

I can never even finish the 2 they give you, so I am in awe that you ate 21.

Yes you! That's crazy. I dunno, I guess I eat a lot for someone smallish, lol. I love to eat. :heart:

Dont get me wrong Ill eat 6 egg McMuffins but I just hate pancakes.

Well that's kinda different. Hating pancakes != being unable to eat them.

:P

I seriously can't get through three pancakes, I'm not an anorexic in any way, okay. Maybe it's because I pour a shitload of syrup on mine, that is how I like them.

Yeah but didn't you get your stomach stapled?

I am not sick and never needed my stomach stapled LOL. I just know that I am ready to hurl after eating maybe half of the pancakes. Could be that pancakes are heavy based and i am used to eating fruits/ and light meals.

[Kyra231]

Well that's kinda different. Hating pancakes != being unable to eat them.

I just hate them because they're so filling not because I hate the taste, I can 1 & feel like I ate a turkey dinner :(

Maybe too many years of grapefruit for breakfast instead of carb heavy meals? :shrug:

Chef consumes 20-pound burger in less than 5 hours
Story Highlights
Beer Barrel Belly Bruiser is a 15-pound burger with 5.2 pounds of toppings and bun

Pennsylvania chef Brad Sciullo, 21, tackles beefy monster in four hours, 39 minutes

Why on Earth did he do such a thing? "I wanted to see if I could."

For his effort, Sciullo wins $400, three T-shirts and a certificate
CLEARFIELD, Pennsylvania (AP) -- It took Brad Sciullo four hours and 39 minutes to finish a marathon. A meat marathon, that is.

The 5-foot-11, 180-pound western Pennsylvania chef is the first person to eat a monstrosity called the Beer Barrel Belly Bruiser: a 15-pound burger with toppings and a bun that brought the total weight to 20.2 pounds.

The mountain of beef is the product of Denny's Beer Barrel Pub, about 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh in Clearfield.

Sciullo, 21, of Uniontown, said he was surprised he finished the sandwich Monday.

"About three hours into it, things got tough," he said.

When asked what possessed him to eat a burger that big, Sciullo said: "I wanted to see if I could."

The burger included a bun, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onions, mild banana peppers and a cup each of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard and relish, pub owner Dennis Liegey said.

For completing the challenge in the under-five-hour time limit, Sciullo won $400, three T-shirts, a certificate "and a burger hangover, as I call it," Liegey said.

I never ate IHOP to feeling sick. Once when I felt super hungry, I made the mistake of ordering the stack chocolate chip nom nom nom. I got through 2.5 and made J eat my left overs. He got dessert, and I felt like a wuss.


ps. I don't like pancake syrup, but chocolate chip pancakes are awesome.

[diethx]

I told J about this yesterday, and he wanted to go so bad. I wasn't in the mood to eat til in pain yesterday, but maybe today I will.

How the fuck does someone voluntarily eat a 20 pound burger? Has no one seen the movie Se7en?

Seriously. I draw the line at 10 pounds.

[Shari]

I can't, fuckers are too filling I hate them.:sad::

Ditto.

However, our local Botanical Garden sells these "spicy chocolate pancake mix" bags in their giftshop...they're orgasmic. I make them really small and drizzle them with home made raspberry syrup. Fuck they're so good, they're chocolate, and they really are spicy. (They make your ass burn later!) but its worth it.

Good god, man. I can’t even finish 2 after a breakfast sampler. (strawberry syrup all the way)

I wonder what their per pancake cost is. Eggs and flour are cheap and a pancake uses a little milk and water... labor cost... gas delivery surcharge on the raw ingredients... butter... I’ll bet syrup is the highest cost.

A chain like IHOP has to monitor all that shit and my guess is if they offer this deal at this notoriously slow time of year for restaurants they are making a good profit from people like you who try once a year to beat the system.

[NocturnalRob]

Don't come home until you've beaten the 21 pancakes mark.

[Stretch]

I only got through 17 this time.

Last time my biggest issue was I got so tired of eating pancakes about 15 in, so I opted to go a la carte with the pancake combo with hash browns, two eggs, and bacon to change things up.

They started off with 3 pancakes this time for some reason instead of 5. After the 2nd reload (9 in), I downed the hash browns. After 2 more, I finished off the eggs and bacon.

I couldn't finish the last stack after that. It's freezing in my room and I'm still sweating.

[The Ponzzz]

See this is one of those things that skinny/in shape people are allowed to do, but overweight/fat people get that STARE when they try to participate. Waitress stops coming around after 9 pancakes, you notice you're not getting refills, and mysteriously your check is on the table...

I read this article and began wondering if Stretch was still with us:


Pancake-Eating Contest Ends Tragically for Winner


Some participate in sport for exercise, healthy competition or camaraderie with teammates. Others are only interested when they're pushing their body to the very limit, even risking death in the pursuit of the fiercest challenge and maximum adrenaline rush. Skydivers, mountaineers, race-car drivers -- to these brave, foolhardy souls you can add another group who laughs in the face of mortality in pursuit of sporting excellence: competitive pancake eaters.

Boris Isayev, a 48-year-old Russian man, paid the ultimate price for his sporting dreams this week, collapsing while receiving first prize for munching 43 banana-and-cream-stuffed pancakes at a competition to mark the end of Maslenitsa, or "pancake week," in the western Russian region of Kaliningrad.



"He had really enjoyed the pancakes, but then he started foaming at the mouth and went down like a sack of stones," a witness reportedly said, which may or may not be the most grotesque image you're likely to see at an eating contest. Doctors apparently believe he choked to death on a pancake remnant.

Still, at least Isayev went out on a high, with spectators acclaiming him a fair winner and the "most active participant in the contest." He was certainly the least active participant in the medal ceremony

[AnticorRifling]

Fuck I'm hungry for pancakes now...

[Fallen]

I did the "Never ending shrimp" all you can eat at Red Lobster in the form of a challege with two other friends. I don't remember quite how many loads of shrimp we ate, but our one friend pussied out after a slightly larger than normal sized meal, saying...and I quote, "No way, that would hurt my stomach."

I don't think he understood the fucking point of an eating contest. When the FUCK does a contest ever feel physically good?

Anyway, ended in a tie. Still proud how much damned shrimp I ate, didn't touch the shit for quite a while. Thought I would NEVER want shrimp again. Even the thought/smell of it made me physically ill but that passed after a few weeks.
