It is now 10:56pm so there are only 4 minutes left in which competitors can inform us of their entry. It looks like The Human Vacuum will take this Throwdown to go 2 for 2! That's awesome!

Throwdown #2 - New Video

The Masked Muncher has submitted his video for Throwdown #2. Two judges viewed and timed the video because the Masked Muncher's time is very close to the time of the competitor currently in 1st place, Kevin Ross. In the end though the Masked Muncher is close but he does not take over the top spot.

In other news, we did receive another video from Carp Meister, but there were technical problems with the version posted to YouTube. As of now the technical problems have not been resolved so his first video is still his official entry in Throwdown #2.

Video News

The TYCC office has been informed that Carp Meister has submitted another Twinkie video! A judge will review the video, and post the result later today.

We also received an email from the Masked Muncher. First, his local supermarket was out of Twinkies. We didn't know that could happen! Then, his video camera battery died and he had to find a new one. But now he has the Twinkies and the battery so he is set to go.

Carp Meister Brings It

Another competitor has submitted a Twinkie video! The Carp Meister has taken the challenge, and he did very well! He goes fishin' a lot.

Throwdown #2: Twinkies

The Throwdown is to see which competitor can eat 10 Hostess Twinkies the fastest. You can buy a 15-ounce box of 10, or you may buy 10 individually wrapped Twinkies.



1. If you have not registered to be a member of this website, you must do that first.
2. You must sign up for this challenge and submit your video by 11PM on January 25, 2007.
3. As always, your participation and submitted video must comply to these rules.

Important: Additional Rules.
a. While the camera is recording a competitor must unwrap all 10 of their Twinkies before starting the timer and beginning to eat. We have to be able to verify you are eating 10 unmodified Twinkies.
b. The Twinkies may not be exposed to any liquid before each Twinkie goes into the competitor's mouth. This means no dunking and no pouring liquid on the Twinkies before you eat them.
c. The Twinkies may not be dismantled or mashed in any way before putting them into your mouth.
d. You must put the Twinkies in your mouth one at a time. A Twinkie must be completely in your mouth before beginning to put the next Twinkie in your mouth.
e. The timer does not stop until you have consumed all 10 Twinkies and your mouth is clear. When you are done simply hold out your hands and open your mouth.

This Throwdown is a sprint. We expect the competition to be fierce! Be safe!

Keep watching this site for entrants and results. They are updated and posted as they are received.

The Human Vacuum Does It!

The winner of Throwdown #1, Mark Lyle, did another run with the Taco Bell soft tacos. This time he dunked the soft tacos before consuming them. His "dry run" time of 4:23 that he submitted for the Throwdown -- yeah he shattered that in the "wet run". Just over 2 minutes! You can watch the video here.

Way to go, Mark!

Another change we will make is to the Throwdown announcements. From now on a specification that will be made is if the Throwdown item can be dunked or not. The decision will primarily be based on whether the item could lose structural integrity or not.

Signup Requirement Changed

We are removing the requirement to signup for a Throwdown within the first 5 days of a Throwdown being announced. What that means for you is that you can signup and submit your video at any time within the 10-day* Throwdown duration. That way if you miss the announcement by a few days you can think about entering the Throwdown without needing to factor in signup deadlines.

Keep in mind that Throwdowns are announced on the 1st and 15th days of each month. A Throwdown lasts for 10 days from the announcement being posted unless another duration is specified in the announcement posting.

Throwdown #1 Results

The results from Throwdown #1 have been compiled and updated. It wasn't too hard what with only three videos submitted!

1st -- 04:23:00 -- Mark Lyle "The Human Vacuum"
2nd -- 08:05:70 -- Masked Muncher

Thanks, guys!

Remember, Throwdown #2 will be announced on this website on January 15th!

Another Takes on Throwdown #1

We have received an email from another competitor in Throwdown #1. Mark Lyle "The Human Vacuum" tore through the tacos! His time of 4:23 almost halved the time put up by the Masked Muncher. I will post the full results later tonight. Until then you can view Mark's video here.

Good show, Mark!

Throwdown #1 Extended!

The deadline for posting your video for Throwdown #1 has been extended 24 hours. The deadline is now 11PM on January 11, 2007. The response to Throwdown #1 was less-than-anticipated so we have extended the deadline so the other video can be posted. The competitor posting his video on the 11th did contact Team TYCC before the original deadline.

Also, we have received some more feedback so we will be implementing the suggestions before Throwdown #2 which will be announced on January 15th.

Update on Throwdown #1

You have just over 24 hours to submit your video for Throwdown #1! The cut-off is tomorrow at 11pm, so get on it! Right now the Masked Muncher is still in the lead.

Another Video for Throwdown #1

The Masked Muncher has throwndown again in hopes of beating his time from his previous attempt. He did beat his last time. Just barely. But he did better his time.

The judge who viewed the video reports that it appears as if the Masked Muncher could have posted a better time (by almost a minute) but he does a very thorough job in cleaning up anything that fell off while eating. As of now here is the time to beat:
