Sonya Thomas Eats 181 Wings to Win Buffalo Wing Contest

Sonya Thomas seta world record in Buffalo wing eating on September 5, eating 181 wings in 12 minutes. That's 4.86 pounds of wings.

Sonya Thomas, whose nickname is "Black Widow" for her ability to pull off wins in a male-dominated pastime, only weighs 105 pounds. Thomas beat Joey Chestnut, who won the last four Nathan's hot-dog eating contests at Coney Island. Joey Chestnut, known as "Jaws", also dominates pizza-eating contests.

Her liver is trying to figure out what to do with about 198.7 grams of fat, 54 g of which is saturated. Experts say we should consume just 65-85 grams per day, with only 20 grams being of the saturated variety.
Thomas' body also has to process 1,824 mg of cholesterol, yet the American Heart Association recommends we consume less than 300 mg of cholesterol daily.
