New Zealander Gobbles Down 10 Big Macs in Less Than 15 Minutes

A “famished” competitive eater enjoyed a large afternoon snack, devouring a total of 10 Big Macs within 15 minutes.

Auckland-based Nela Zisser, who can often be found making her way through outrageous food challenges, also washed down the large meal with a two-litre bottle of Coca-Cola.

Despite powering her way through the challenge in an impressive time, Zisser admitted that she isn’t the famous burger’s biggest fan.

“Despite making quite a mess it still felt very dry,” she said. “I think that’s because there is too much bread for the amount of meat and sauce.”

Zisser’s YouTube account chronicles such food feats as wolfing down 10 Burger King Whoppers in 17 minutes, devouring a 1-kg burrito in just under 100 seconds, and consuming a 2.2-pound jar of Nutella in under four minutes. Credit: Nela Zisser via Storyful

NELA ZISSER: [INHALES DEEPLY] Getting my napkin ready, just in case anything falls, it doesn't fall in my lap. All right. Whoa, I'm really excited. OK. Oh, man. This just looks so good. Like, oh, man. God. I used to not like Big Macs, but lately I've really been getting into them. Like, I quite like them now. The sauce is really good. I think why I used to not like them is, like, the bread-to-meat ratio wasn't great. But as I've gotten older, they've grown on me, and I'm quite enjoying them at the moment. So yeah, OK. 3, 2, 1, and go. [CLEARS THROAT] [BELCHES] I feel like I need to burp but there's like food blocking it. Oh, man. [LONG BELCH] Oh, there we go. [GIGGLES] Pardon me. [CLEARS THROAT] Last one. [BELCHES] Woo, oh, my god. [BELCHES] Woo, that was a lot of food. I'd like to confirm that, yes, I think the reason why I don't like Big Macs as much as other burgers is it's very bready and very dry. Like, despite making quite a mess, it still felt very dry. I think that's just because there's, like, too much bread to the amount of meat, and lettuce, and sauce, in my opinion. I do like the sauce. Like, I do like Big Mac sauce quite a lot. But I reckon there's too much bread. But yeah, 14:38 minutes. Pretty happy about that. I feel very full right now. [BELCHES] Oh. [BELCHES] Ah, I feel-- [BELCHES] Pardon me. Oh. Throughout the whole thing, I kept feeling like I needed to burp, but there was like food blocking it. So I couldn't really burp because, like, I'd try to and the food was just, like, coming back up a little bit. [BELCHES] I feel like I've got a lot of air in my stomach. [BELCHES] Oh, pardon me. But yeah, 14:38, pretty happy with that. It was 10 Big Macs from McDonald's.
