A 77-year-old Ukrainian man won a jar full of sour cream for coming first in a dumpling eating contest and then promptly died, local media reported. Ivan Mendel ate 10 dumplings in half a minute to win first place and a one-litre jar of sour cream in the contest held in the town of Tokmak in the southeastern Zaporizhya region on September 18, Fakty I Kommentarii newspaper said. Shortly afterwards, Mendel became unwell and died, according to local news websites. Dumplings, called "vareniki" in the former Soviet republic, are a staple of Ukrainian cuisine and are often stuffed with a range of fillings from mushrooms to cherries. Get Cream Or Die Tryin'
1 liter of sour cream for prize? LOOL. Seems pretty stupid though. Not like he chugged the 1L of sour cream. But 10 dumplings in 30 sec is pretty jesus. 1 dumpling per 3 secs!
