'Gal Sone' discloses secret of speed-eating

Thursday 01st May, 06:20 AM JST

TOKYO —

Voracious speed eater Gal Sone, 22, will publish her autobiography on May 29, disclosing the secret of her speed-eating success. In the book, she says a medical examination showed that her cells burn off fat much more actively than ordinary people and that she had more bifidobacteria in the gut (which helps digest food).

In addition, Sone says she goes to the toilet six times a day without absorbing what she eats. She also writes that she has been unattached for two years because her ex-boyfriend ate her cheese bread without telling her.

Has anyone else noticed that the word 'Fart' has been spelt out in the promotional picture of Sone above ? Or does it say 'Tart' ?

northlondon:

It's actually 'P-A-R-T-Y', and I believe these letters are edibile. This means that Gal will ultimately be a 'party pooper', probably in about 4 hours time.

Apparently you can set your watch by her. I hear she has better movement than most Swiss timepieces.

Umm...That's it. I'm played out.

We have tons of people like this in America. These "speed eaters" who compete. What was the national news the other day? Worldwide food crisis? I'm so confused. Why can't we teleport these people to starving nations and make them stop!

She should be in a freak show.

She is. It's called Japanese variety television.

Yes, in the US (and other countries) there are speed eating contests going back decades BUT do you know the names (and excretion schedule) of these people? Do they have agents and write books? Are they on the freaking TV day after day? This waste-of-oxygen is literally famous here, that is point.

OK I'll let you all in to a big, big TV secret. The name 'Gal Sone' is a hidden name. If you take the last three letters out (One) you get the first word. The second word is spelt in reverse. That's all I'm telling.

North - "Gals" and "Slag"?

Sarge is close. I can't spell it out or my TV career will be over before it even started. Anyone else ? Once you take the first word out (One) you cannot use it again when spelling the second word in reverse.

I dont get it.

Ossan > "Gal Sone" rearranged is "One Slag"

Check British colloquial terms.

Chicks talking about how they take a dump 6 times a day are so hot

OK thanks. I got "One Slag" but the comment to Sarge that he was "close" threw me.

"Chicks talking about how they take a dump 6 times a day are so hot"

At least you know they're not full of it.

I'm thinking about buying the book for Golden Week reading. Perfect to browse while killing time in the smallest room.

I saw her on the telly once but she wasn't speed eating so much as just eating. And eating. And eating. I think she ate all the items on the menu at a raamen shop or something. But not speedily. Is she a speed eater or just a big eater?
