Takeru Kobayashi Sets Twinkie-Eating Record on ‘Wendy Williams’ [VIDEO]
Takeru Kobayashi may officially be banned from the sport of competitive eating, but that hasn't stopped him from setting world records. On 'The Wendy Williams Show,' Kobayashi set a record for consuming 14 Twinkies in one minute.
The stunt was part of Wendy Williams' effort to save the Twinkie from extinction. (Fans of the sugar-filled snack will recall that maker Hostess filed for bankruptcy several weeks ago.) Thanks for doing your part, Kobayashi. Your stomach is stronger than ours.
