Hot dog champ Kobayashi eats 16 bananas in 60 seconds to honor Donkey Kong

You might know him as the six-time Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest champion, but Takeru Kobayashi caught a new kind of attention this month when he agreed to eat as many bananas as he can in one minute to celebrate the release of Donkey Kong Country Returns for Wii.  The pre-release (marketing) stunt took place in Toronto and you can watch Kobayashi do his thing in the banana eating challenge video embedded above.  It’s on like Donkey Kong!  Oh wait–can I say that?
