Vinnie=Epic Fail. However, Jeff just showed that Americans in America are better than Americans in Britain. I also loved Jeff at the end: "Let's go play Street Fighter IV". Giant Bomb is truly the best video game site out there.
Does anyone know the quantity of beverage in those cans?
I recently spent sometime in Southeast Asia and their standard coke cans are 330ml, however down here in Australia our standard size is 375ml.
As someone who may just be interested in competing in the great 'chug-a-coke 09 challange'... Can someone tell me the standard coke can size over in the U.S?
The standard soda can here is 355ml, and it appears that both major brands have replaced their standard cans with widemouths. The widemouth can is approximately the same width as two standard DVD cases stacked together.
I think they should film another segment in which Brad is forced to ingest as much Coke as those three gentlemen combined as fast as he can, just for sissing out on this challenge.
I didn't realize the original 8.6sec drink from Mythic was for DIET. That's gotta be easier. Regular Coke just feels thicker and richer, so you gotta have a point spread or something here.
Awesome. The American guy in the Mythic vid had opened his can before the timer start, then began to drink. Cheater! If Jeff did the same, he would have got the best time!
I don't know what to make of it. I'd hate to find out somebody finds a new way of dying by drinking a coke to fast & boring a hole through their stomach...
Sweet stuff, that dude from Mythic was amazing. Well done to you four at Giant Bomb as well, especially Ryan and extra-especially Jeff, you were a machine man! P.S. Please let us know when Ryan is out of shock, I have images of him sitting in your office rocking back and forth, holding the tiger doll and not being able to speak for days.
Hmm, just spotted this today, and it strikes a chord with what happened to me today:
Running around "getting stuff done", and on the way out to the Metrocentre (local mall for us) Emily my 5 year old managed to swipe the last 1/4 of my wifes bottle of coke (the caffeine free, gold label stuff). She starts saying she feels sick on the way there, and we point out why that is - she's not used to fizzy drinks.
She's over it by the time we get there, and so I wander into Dixons (electrical retailer) in the naive hope that they may have a reasonably priced external drive for my laptop. Emily and I get about 10 paces inside the front door of the shop and Emily suddenly shouts "I feel sick", before projectile vomiting across the floor of the shop. I managed to flag down a couple of members of the staff from behind a till, one if which goes off to find something or one to clean up with. Another stands a few feet away, complaining about his 'natural gag reflex' before just plain dissapearing. So I'm just kind of stood there with my daughter next to this huge slop of vomit, trying to stop people from walking through it.
I phone my wife, who eventually comes back and then wanders a couple of steps off with Emily to get her a bit of air. I'm kind of left there standing by the sick, wondering if it would be bad form just to do a runner as well, but there's no sign of any staff around all of a sudden. I almost had to grab some lady who was walking thrgough the shop not paying attention and almost waded right into it. She looks startled, she looks down at the floor. Then she looks back up at me with the most dissaproving stare she can muster, and clearly thinking it was me who was sick after a few too many beers last night tuts and wanders off in a different direction.
Anyway, on an unrelated note:
Does a modified can count as cheating? I remember something we used to do in my school days with coke - you had to turn the can upside down, stab a pen into the side of the can right near the bottom (or the top as you are now holding it. You then cover the hole with your finger turn it right way up then open it. Once you start to drink you move your finger from over the hole and you can then suck the coke out of the can faster than itg would normally flow.
Well, the gauntlet is down. Anyone going to man up and put that on tape? I reckon you could smash the 8 second barrier.

Shotgunning is not permitted. You'd probably be able to get under 4 seconds if you were doing that.
I don't know how you guys can do it.... I still think only women should be able to let it go down their throat like that..... not trying to be offensive to the women out there :P
