is it micro-filtered milk? I can probably drink 4L of milk, albeit not at breakneck speed. 5 min?

I'm severely lactose intolerant so I would instantly fail all three parts of this.

The 2nd two events are trivial compared to the first event. I've heard of no one who has consumed a gallon of whole milk in one hour and didn't regret it immensely (not to mention, lose by not being able to keep it down.)

i watched a guy do it. his self control of the convulsions at the end of the hour was amazing. so were the chunks that he blew in the bathroom as soon as the hour was up. i don't think i'd seen actual projectile vomit before that.

If you don't keep it down for the following hour, you lose. He lost. Otherwise, the challenge is easy. Drink half at the beginning of the hour. Feel a little crappy (maybe), then chug the rest with less than 3 minutes remaining in the hour.

this seems like a terrible way to spend a 4th of july

'hey man how was your 4th?'
'i drank a gallon of milk, ate a whole pizza, and half a gallon of ice cream. then i threw it up. i can still taste it.'

Hey, I figure if I blow up atleast I will have something in common with the fireworks...lol!!

well i drink half gallon easy if i don't restrain myself, with a little practice i could do a whole gallon.
besides that, the 60m time limit is overtly generous. not sure about the whole pizza, but all in all i could be a contender.

"i could'a been'a contender.."

Who has competed in the gallon challenge successfully and who can do a Triathlon of food?

A Triathlon of food is a gallon challenge, an entire pizza and a half gallon of Ice cream for the record in a span of 3 events and an hour rest time in between. I invented the concept of it and I want to know who is up to be its first winner.

Better to do a contest like this and make some money at it:

28 inch Pointersaurus Pizza $500 challenge

I have done a large pizza in a sitting. I have done a half gallon of ice cream in a sitting. I dont really like regular milk. If it was Coke I could do it, as it wasnt uncommon to drink 3 44 big gulps without even thinking about it. Coke and pizza at the same time is doable...15 years ago. How about 1/2 large, 2 liters of Coke, and a pint of Ben and Jerrys? That used to be a regular meal.

totally. i didn't even factor in the ice cream, anything made of ice cream just disintegrates when it gets close to my jaws.

In the spirit of the olympics I figured I'd bump this to see if anyone is interested in becoming the first Triathelete.

How about the gallon challenge with a twist ... use egg nog. (link probably NSFW)

I'm surprised Pat from Monachie is still alive after that. The dude has a ton of health problems. As a side note, O&A were great back when XM didn't care.

I've done the pizza but there's no way I could do the rest. Pretty sure it's physically impossible. Though someone will prove me wrong. It'll be a skinny Japanese guy too most likely. They always seem to win these eating contests for some strange reason.

I've met ppl who did the Gallon Challenge successfully as well as eat an entire pizza in a sitting, there is an hour rest in between each event so I believe it to be possible, though I doubt I would be able to do it now that the time has passed(I had a condition at the time of posting that made me believe I could do it, now I'm pretty sure it would result in me losing it).

I wonder if people in the UK have to drink and keep down an imperial gallon.

You don't get it. The gallon challenge is a "challenge" in name only. It's really a joke that's played on the unsuspecting victim. EVERYONE is lactose intolerant to a degree. 1 gallon of whole milk has enough lactose that anyone drinking that much within 1 hour is going to end up vomiting (some time during the next hour.) You vomit... you lose.

Your second two events are jokes. I know a family that used to buy 4 half-gallons every Friday night & sit watching television while each pounded their own half-gallon (Yes, they were overweight.) I know dozens upon dozens who would laugh at someone thinking that a large pizza was a monumental task.

I thought vomiting was simply due to the size of the stomach and not being able to hold all that milk.

Lactose intolerance doesn't sink in until the intestines, right?

No. Lactose needs to be broken down by the enzyme lactase. The stomach does not normally have enough lactase to break down an entire gallon of milks lactose.

If you are lactose intolerant, you simply do not produce enough lactase to drink normal amounts of milk. You can take a lactase pill to artifically put lactase into your stomach so you can eat pizza or something if you want.

But..

Lactase is present predominantly along the brush border membrane of the differentiated enterocytes lining the villi of the small intestine
source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactase

symptoms are caused by insufficient levels of the enzyme lactase in the lining of the duodenum (small intestine)
source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactose_intolerance

It is often claimed that the difficulty is related to lactose intolerance: the inability of many people to metabolize lactose, a major component of milk. Ash finds this theory unlikely, as the symptoms of lactose intolerance occur in the large intestine, rather than the stomach

and

Sarah Ash, a professor of nutrition at North Carolina State University, comments that the primary difficulty in completing the challenge lies in the limited capacity of the stomach. Generally, the stomach can hold only half a gallon. Stretch receptors in the organ sense when its limit is reached, triggering a vomit reflex. Moreover, drinking a gallon of milk is more difficult than drinking a gallon of water. The fat and protein in milk both inhibit the stomach from releasing its contents into the small intestine, forcing more of the liquid to remain in the stomach

being lactose intolerant doesn't make me vomit, it makes me have a super upset stomach and horrible poops within ~15 minutes of ingesting dairy
