As
freshers matriculated at Oxford, greedy student Adam Bailey put his
guts through the ultimate in foody endurance tests.
Dressed in full sub fusc (the academic dress for the University of Oxford)
Bailey stuffed down TEN Big Mac’s and fries in 30 minutes on the
steps of Sheldonian theatre, Oxford.
The ingestion-fest on October 13 was supported by a cheering crowd who
spurred him on to complete his mac-triculation - without vomiting.
A video of the feat, made by SJTV the only student station in Oxford,
was posted on YouTube, where it has already been watched hundreds of
times.
Bailey told the Oxford Student, “I was reliving every 8-year old’s
dream. Everyone remembers the excitement of going to McDonald’s
as a child. It was a test of manhood.”
“One man’s mission. A new second year ritual.”
“I was proving that all these people who say McDonald’s
makes you obese are wrong - too much of anything is bad for you. It’s
just like binge drinking, but with food. The other option was eating
everything on the McDonald’s breakfast menu, but Big Macs linked
in well with the theme of matriculation,” he said.
Of the video Bailey added, “At least it’s not just two blokes
sitting around chatting about nothing like other student TV.”
“I do not condone eating Big Macs every day. To be truthful I
don’t even like the taste of them. It was a one-off. There are
people in America who do this regularly. It’s an American thing,”
he added.
He consumed an estimated 4,950 calories, double the recommended daily
amount, and over three times the recommended intake of sugar and saturated
fats.
On completing the feat he was heard to say, “I fancy a McFlurry
now.”
