Takeru Kobayashi is the most dominant competitive eater in recorded history, a title he earned by scarfing down massive quantities of hot dogs, burgers, burritos and (horrifyingly) 17.7 pounds of cow brains.
He may have met his match, however, in the form of what appears to be the world's greediest hamster.
We can't fault Kobayashi for losing this one. Hamsters are well-known gluttons that take no prisoners when it comes to competition. They also make fine (if slightly boring) pets.
