Babauta Cup Eating Contest

Babauta Cup Eating Contest

On June 17, 2018 a Babauta Cup competition was held in Davis, CA. The winners of this competition would get their initials forever engraved into the Babauta Cup itself, as is tradition. With so much at stake, Leo summoned all of his willpower and his experience with eating things really fast and pulled off a feat that would be burned into everyone's memories. In the moment that the competition started, Leo became more beast than man. Within seconds Leo practically inhaled the whole cone without stopping or even flinching, while his competitor (Rain Babauta) hadn't even gotten through his first bite or two.

He is seen staring deep into the soul of his victim (the ice cream cone filled with Ben & Jerry's ice cream,  Hershey's chocolate syrup, and other miscellaneous foods that can be crammed into an ice cream cone) moments before devouring it.

It is generally agreed upon worldwide that any eating competition should not be allowed in future Babauta Cup competitions as it would be unfair to the team that Leo is not in. A small minority of competitors (pretty much just Leo) still contest this consensus and suggest that the next Babauta Cup consist of just eating competitions. This is a widely controversial opinion and one can rest easily knowing that such a thing will likely never happen again.
