As sad as it is to say, I’ve seen lots of kids who would only be able to go through the 20, maybe 30 :(

Sounds like a good deal for kids but I could never eat a baby even it was free.

High School me would have made them regret this system. I was skinny as hell but could consume VAST QUANTITIES

11 year old me, too. I grew 6" in about 4 months but I only weighed about 60lbs when I was done because I was super tiny to start. My mom said our food bill roughly doubled that summer because I was eating about 4 servings at every meal. Could’ve fit my scrawny ass in that 100% off section probably and then gone ham on a buffet.

When I was 14, I grew 10" that year. At the end of the year I was 6’0 tall and weighed 145lbs.

We did a Calorie counting unit in PE that year in school. I was eating on average 6,000 calories per day across 8 meals.

7 plates in I would have made a masscre of the general Tso’s chicken. It doesn’t matter where anyone comes from… They all serve it at the buffet

I wasn’t but similar thing: while I’ve put in a lot of pounds as I get older, I eat much less than younger me. I don’t think this gate would have the desired effect

Although I’m more annoyed at the height discrimination.

Yup, I was 6’3 145lb and I ate 2x 1lb burgers once.

Then I got to 23yo and my metabolism came to a shrieking halt.

Exactly this. My ex-wife was 5’2”, 94 pounds with clothes on. She got us banned from our favorite Chinese buffet restaurant. Her diet was “anything not nailed down.” Lots of good reasons why she’s an ex, but I do miss how she could pack away food.

This was me also, though my eating was highly irregular. I’d eat basically nothing all day, then a baby size kebab in the afternoon.

I was like 175cm/60kg until late 20s

Yeah, fat almost 40 year old me can never do ann all you can eat. If I did one it would be a full plate one or two plates. Teens/20’s me would marauder the all you can eat I was also doing 2-3 sports at a time but still. Thin young people are gonna eat more than us old fat fucks. I remember doing it at Golden Coral and Ponderosaas a kid

I said this above, but there’s a reason for that. Thin people can eat more in a single meal than fat people because their stomach can expand more due to having less fat to push against.

Like me all my life until my 30s, I can still easily eat a LOT but I gain weight, not a ton but not super skinny no matter what anymore.

Surgery keeps you from eating too much. It’s still a ton of work and effort, I wouldn’t consider it a cheat.

How come some people can do multiple cosmetics surgeries like nothing? Meanwhile, I had to drag my ass out for those simple covid shots.

I like how this kind of implies that they want you at the 20-30% discount mark. Too fat? Stop eating. Too skinny? Please, gorge yourself on the house!

At 20-30% off you are paying only 70-80% markup. The 10% off guy is getting 90% markup. No restaurant would create something like this if they weren’t marking up the menu to start with.

You don’t think about how much extra you are paying because you are too busy thinking about the discount you got squeezing yourself through a sign.

Not sure if this is a good idea, watching the big eaters on You Tube they all seem to be fairly fit. See Matt Stoney, Leah Shutkever, Joel Haver, Mom v Food, Beard meats food, Raina Huang, Max v Food and Katina Eats Kilos.

The only ‘larger’ eater would be Katina’s SO Randy Santel, and I think he’s slimmer than the guy in the photo; although probably taller!

I think he meant Joel Hanson. Him and beard both wear size medium t-shirts and will ruin your profitability for the day in one meal. If you treat them with respect though you’ll get it back and more through free advertising.

Quick edit to add, heavy guys can never outeat the skinny pros. You get a fat belt that won’t let your stomach stretch. It’s very real.

Nicholas Perry is also still going strong, with eating, subscribers and views. One of the big eaters for sure.

Though i have to admit, i haven’t even seen a second of any of his video. I’ve just fallen in lots of rabbit holes about him online.
