Bacon Eating World Record Set Prior to Daytona 500 Sunday

Yes, folks, there is a world record for bacon eating. What it was prior to Sunday I don't know, but a young man by the name of Matt 'Megatoad' Stonie set a new one Sunday by scarfing down 182 pieces of bacon--roughly six pounds of delicious, greasy pork-- in just five minutes.

Mmmm...bacon...

Before you start thinking about trying to break the mark, the Huffington Post did the math and estimated that Matt consumed about 28,000 milligrams of sodium. The recommended daily allowance is closer to 2300 milligrams.

Besides, Matt is a competitive eater. Last Fourth of July he came in second to Joey Chestnut at Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest with 56 next to Chestnut's 61.
