“Buffalo” Jim Reeves is a competitive eater, though. He’s eaten 28.5 hot dogs in 10 minutes and 74 jalapeno peppers in 15 minutes. He also holds the world watermelon eating record with 13.22 pounds of watermelon consumed in 15 minutes at the “Swellin’ With Melon Watermelon Eating Championship” at the Brookville Community Picnic on July 30, 2005. I don’t need to tell you, that’s a lot of watermelon! I’m suddenly feeling the urge to put my watermelon eating skills to the test.

Is there a record for the most watermelons consumed by one person in one day? Because… I’d love to give it a go and beat the record! I’m kinda small…and young… but boy, do I love me some watermelon!
Jim Reeves is my math teacher!!!!!! He talks about the competitions a lot. He teaches at Gowand High School. That is so cool!!!!!!!!!!
Looked up the world record after figuring out that I’ve just eaten 5.7 pounds of watermelon. God I love it. Bit short of the world record though haha.
