Someone Ate 115 Chicken Nuggets Trying To Match The Number Of Points The Denver Nuggets Scored Against Cleveland

In 2011, a glutton for punishment on Twitter decided to take part in what was dubbed the #MeVsNUGGETS Challenge, which originally involved trying to eat 50 Chicken McNuggets from McDonald’s before the end of the first half of a Cleveland Cavaliers game against the Denver Nuggets.

They eventually succeeded and have continued to take part in the challenge when the Cavs face off against Denver— a challenge that has gradually evolved over the years. The ante has been upped to a point where contestants now must attempt to eat one McNugget for every point the Nuggets score over the course of the game, because if you’re going to do bad things to your body, there’s really no point in half-assing it.

Over the weekend, an Ohio man named Joe Quinn set out to complete the challenge by heading to McDonald’s and ordering 140 McNuggets for a little under $40 (Denver came into the game with an average of around 109 points per game on the season, but had dropped 126 points against the Cavaliers last March). He apparently got an extra order from an employee who took pity on him after Quinn revealed his plan.

He arrived back to his place and showed off the daunting spread (he also made a stop at Burger King for some culinary diversity) as he readied himself for tipoff. Thankfully, he also came prepared with plenty of dipping options— including the incredibly sought-after Szechuan Sauce.

Quinn live-tweeted his valiant efforts, and while it’s unclear if he relied on another kind of nugget popular in the state of Colorado in his attempt to come out on top, he ultimately came up short, managing to down 115 nuggets before Denver walked away with a 126-1157 victory.

I have a feeling the guy who managed to eat 100 in under ten minutes probably isn’t that impressed.
