Super (Triple Duper) Size Me!

Ever dreamed of sinking your teeth into a 6-pound cheeseburger? Denny's Beer Barrel Pub in Clearfield, Pennsylvania sounds like the ideal destination for you!

In fact, if you manage to clear your plate in less than 3 hours, you get your $35.95 back, a free Denny's Beer Barrel Pub T-shirt, and your name on a Hall of Fame board.

In January of 2005, Kate Selnick of Princeton, New Jersey downed that 96-ounce beef patty in 2 hours and 54 minutes. Did I mention she was 19 years old and 100 pounds when she became state champion?

From a nutritional standpoint, though, Kate is a big loser. In one sitting, Kate downed 7,200 calories and 7500% of her daily sodium needs and 720% of her recommended saturated fat (the type of fat that clogs your arteries) intake. To give you a frame of reference, she ate the equivalent of 24 McDonald's cheeseburgers in less than 3 hours!
