It's Friday, the markets are slow and everybody is bored.
The bet is that a clerk on the CBOT floor will eat 21 McDonalds single cheeseburgers in 12 minutes.
There is at least 10K riding so far.
Starts at noon.
This kid easily ate 60 Mcnuggets in 12 minutes last go around.
And then ate a beef sandwich for his lunch.

Is there a no-puke clause? |

$10K seems like very significant motivation for some kid on the trading floor, but that's 32 seconds a hamburger for 22 straight...I'm taking "no" on this one. |

Is there a no-puke clause? No puking allowed. Start time pushed back till 12:30 The kid doesn't get the 10K. The betting is being done between others. Our desk has already brokered bets from London, San Francisco and New York. |

One of the large local traders is covering the vast majority (at least 7K) of the bets saying he can do it. The kid will get a piece of that. |

So, by my calculations, he ate ~86 nuggets worth of mass. Still pretty impressive.

I wish I knew this 30 minutes ago. We would have shorted this trade a lot more than we did. |
