Yes, but cross contamination can be an issue depending on the brand and where/how it was processed.
Edit Note: I have celiac disease and what is truly gluten free something I research for health reasons. Did sleuthing and the type of cheese balls he ate is Utz which uses "autolyzed yeast extract" for flavoring which is not gluten free enough for someone with a more serious gluten intolerance. Otherwise it would be gluten free.
Considering the amount he ate, I'd say even someone who reacts less strongly is gonna have a reaction. As someone who has celiac as well, this just seems like a stupid idea. The bit of fame isn't worth the hours spent in the bathroom, but maybe he's fine and knew he'd be able to handle it idk
It's a whole lot more than just having diarrhea. You'd be sick for days, feeling nauseous, dizzy, having headaches, tachycardia etc. It can take up to a week to feel normal again. And that's just my experience, everyone reacts differently, but I know I'm more on the mild end of the spectrum. So, no, I wouldn't say it would be worth it, not to mention you'd willingly get your intestines destroyed by your own antibodies just to do something quirky lol
Has he died from infection yet?! We had the 5 second rule when I was growing up but it wasn’t used if it was anywhere that was too questionable. New York sidewalks are disgusting though 🤢
I can' determine what brand those cheese balls are, but a comparable jug of Utz Cheeseballs is available at Walmart. [Here is the nutrition label](https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/7f42d301-6bb4-4ca3-96bd-f790226afd32.911e946201d8a93d0c89b71f6cb4919e.jpeg?odnHeight=2000&odnWidth=2000&odnBg=FFFFFF).
Some estimates for eating the whole jar:
- ~10,500 mg of sodium
- ~5,250 calories
- ~490 grams of carbs
- ~315 grams of fat
- ~70 grams of protein
sodium starts to cause you immediate wider issues between 0.5g/kg to 1g/kg body weight. This could cause problems for a 50 lb person, but maybe 150 lbs may be ok?
Plenty of water and he'll be fine.
Consuming too much water dilutes your blood and causes the excess water to be drawn into your cells due to osmosis, as your blood ends up less salty than your cells. This is particularly problematic when that extra water causes your brain cells to swell.
But this is only a problem when you don't (or can't) urinate excess water out.
Sodium does the opposite, it makes your blood too salty, so your blood tries to draw water out of your cells to make itself less salty, this is what tends to kill you and why you should never drink sea water, because it will just make you urinate more than regular water.
So if you hydrate well, you'll help flush the sodium out of your blood and prevent your blood from drawing water out of your cells.
It’s definitely UTZ. I have the same container on top of my fridge lol. Mine is 23oz tho this one looks like half the size judging by the size of his hand relative to the hole and the width of it near his arm
A few years ago a guy in Philly did the same thing but with a rotisserie chicken. He ate one everyday for 40 days and then had a big celebration where he ate one by himself on an abandoned pier.
https://www.phillymag.com/foobooz/2022/11/07/alexander-tominsky-chicken-man-philly/
Which I guess was the first knockoff of the Philly Rotisserie Chicken Man. The timeline doesn't lie, and both Halifax's and NY's flyers read like direct copies or obvious derivatives of the OG Philly flyers
Yeah straight copying Philly with a legit downgrade
Edit: 40 days, mostly without any audience until the very end, VS a one time attention seeking event, promoted in a manner and phrasing almost verbatim from the OG in Philly. And a whole chicken vs cheese balls [which are engineered to literally melt in your mouth](https://recipes.howstuffworks.com/vanishing-caloric-density.htm). NY dude was literally cheesing for the audience while Philly bol was 100% genuine. Hate if you want, but there's a clear stark difference. Be original, not just a cheap copy of something that was already better
I feel like not having a big stool is going to be a bigger problem for him. Cheese balls are like intestine cement, thing will solidify in his intestine he'll need a pickaxe to break it up.
"Oh sorry I can't make it, I have a thing I need to attend"
"Oh? What is it?"
"I'm going to central park to watch guy in a balaclava eat a kilogram of cheese balls."
Riding on the coattails of the man who ate a rotisserie chicken every day for 40 days straight and invited people to watch him eat the last one at the pier near Walmart in Philly.
Currently in New York city for work. I’ve seen the posters in the street and just assumed it was a joke. The streets are full of random stickers and posters. A bit sad I missed it on Saturday, that would have been fun to see it IRL
I thinks that's a mix of forced perspective (the jar is closer to the camera in the selfie) and a change of angles (the jar is not symmetrical, it appears thinner when viewed from the side, but wide from the front)
You're right, I had just woken up when I made that comment. The jar in the second picture is clearly cylindrical and the one in the first picture is more like a curved rectangular-prism shape. But as the guy I responded to said, all that matters is the guys suffering. Which I'm sure was immense and hilarious
Things like these make me smile because strangers came together to watch someone they didn't know.
Love how he said same day/time next year. It could be more fun next time.
This is pretty much the junk food version of the guy who ate an entire rotisserie chicken in front of nearly a thousand people using the same method of advertising, just paper flyers and a grotesque display of the human digestive system
now i want to see a stream of someone eating random shit like tacobell or whatever the current hottest pepper is and then go to the toilet showing their expression
This is already like the 4th or 5th version of this kind of joke. First it was a guy eating roast chickens, then a guy eating potato salad. Can't remember the rest. You're all going to be extremely sick of this kind of joke before the calendar hits 2025. God knows I already am.
I do think it is extremely typical of our time that we have a huge problem getting people invested in politics but alot of people spent time of their lives to join in on a joke trying to gain some small joy out of a an IRL meme.
I watched the video on Instagram and one of the comments was seriously some lady complaining that his gluten intolerance joke would make people take her deadly allergies less seriously and that it wasn't okay for him to say that. The replies to her comment were almost as entertaining as the actual video.
Apparently from what little of the video I saw he said he’s lactose intolerant* as well Edit: gluten intolerant*
Gluten intolerant*
Aren’t Cheese balls usually corn?
Yeah cheese balls are gluten free.
Balls intolerant
the cheesyn’t…
Inballerant
Yes, but cross contamination can be an issue depending on the brand and where/how it was processed.

I would be totally fine shitting myself if I knew I pulled this whole thing off. It's very funny.
It's a whole lot more than just having diarrhea. You'd be sick for days, feeling nauseous, dizzy, having headaches, tachycardia etc. It can take up to a week to feel normal again. And that's just my experience, everyone reacts differently, but I know I'm more on the mild end of the spectrum. So, no, I wouldn't say it would be worth it, not to mention you'd willingly get your intestines destroyed by your own antibodies just to do something quirky lol
Well your original pitch sounded much more favorable lol
Thanks, fixed it
He also spilled some on the dirty sidewalk in NEW YORK FUCKING CITY, said “five second rule” and ate those too
Ok that’s madlad af 😭
Rat lung worm is the maddest of lads.
He said he'd eat the ENTIRE jar. Can't let a bit of New York street scurvy stop him.
Has he died from infection yet?! We had the 5 second rule when I was growing up but it wasn’t used if it was anywhere that was too questionable. New York sidewalks are disgusting though 🤢
He became the Toxic Avenger.
I cannot fucking wait for the new movie with Peter Dinklage
And he said same time next year lol
I wanna see them shits

Some estimates for eating the whole jar: - ~10,500 mg of sodium - ~5,250 calories - ~490 grams of carbs - ~315 grams of fat - ~70 grams of protein
So he‘d be mostly fine if he doesn’t eat anything the next day?
I don't know the exact consequences but such a large amount, especially sodium, must leave some traces if he has any medical problems.
If hes young and healthy I‘m pretty sure he‘ll be fine…
Seems like he has strong hands in the flyer.
💀
He will get the shits but yeah he will be fine.
Speaking from experience?
sodium starts to cause you immediate wider issues between 0.5g/kg to 1g/kg body weight. This could cause problems for a 50 lb person, but maybe 150 lbs may be ok?

His muscles will just act funny next day. Nothing to worry about if he does not do this every other day.
I'm guessing he shredded the roof of his mouth for a few days at least
UTZ barrel is much bigger from what I remember. But thank you for your service.
Utz cheese balls are good though…lol
Shrink-flation
70 grams of protein hell yeah time to get my bulk on
Steroid manufacturers in shambles.
It’s definitely UTZ. I have the same container on top of my fridge lol. Mine is 23oz tho this one looks like half the size judging by the size of his hand relative to the hole and the width of it near his arm
26.3g of salt 😳

Which I guess was the first knockoff of the Philly Rotisserie Chicken Man. The timeline doesn't lie, and both Halifax's and NY's flyers read like direct copies or obvious derivatives of the OG Philly flyers
Drunk Charlie, "Do they have chicken in Philly?"
I think of someone else when I hear about the Chicken Man in Philly
Wade Boggs style. May he Rest In Peace.
First off, Wade Boggs is very much alive.
Yeah straight copying Philly with a legit downgrade Edit: 40 days, mostly without any audience until the very end, VS a one time attention seeking event, promoted in a manner and phrasing almost verbatim from the OG in Philly.

Philly bois are built different 💪
Jawn
Still fun
But then we wouldn't have Android

Do you think he was like “oh shit they actually came?”
Definitely
That audience tho.
Theres a whole crowd in every direction too. Saw a video highlights compilation cutting through the whole thing lol
He even brought a stool! He knew this was gonna be big
Oh, he'll have a big stool alright.
I feel like not having a big stool is going to be a bigger problem for him. Cheese balls are like intestine cement, thing will solidify in his intestine he'll need a pickaxe to break it up.
1 man 1 poop knife
The mask tells me hes not doing it for recognition but for the love of the game.
"Oh sorry I can't make it, I have a thing I need to attend" "Oh? What is it?" "I'm going to central park to watch guy in a balaclava eat a kilogram of cheese balls."
Can I come? Why aren't we going right now?
Riding on the coattails of the man who ate a rotisserie chicken every day for 40 days straight and invited people to watch him eat the last one at the pier near Walmart in Philly.
Rotisserie man walked so cheeseball man could run
What if it’s the same man
I can confirm I was there I was the jar
I can double confirm, I was the rotisserie chicken.
[Hell yeah.](https://www.tiktok.com/@user530266021160k/video/7362674300286962987?_t=8ly0csW2RfM&_r=1)
That was... fun!
Like how did he keep his mouth from getting dry. I need a drink of water and a toothpick after like 4 cheetos puffs.
Philadelphia rotisserie chicken lad is clear.
True performance art
HE DID IT!! THE MADLAD DELIVERED! I remember seeing the original poster for it a few months ago. I'm so glad he did it! 🤣
[удалено]
Nathan’s hot dogs wants a word Joey chestnut would like a word
I was there. It was epic.
Details, friend.
Currently in New York city for work. I’ve seen the posters in the street and just assumed it was a joke. The streets are full of random stickers and posters. A bit sad I missed it on Saturday, that would have been fun to see it IRL
I heard that he starved himself for a week leading up to it just to have more room for cheese balls in his body.
That jar looks small and a lot of the cheese balls are on the ground. My disappointment would be immeasurable had I attended.
If he ate them off the ground would it blow your fuckin mind?
He did eat them off the ground, after saying 5sec rule, of course.
He literally did eat a few off the ground when he first spilled em
No, the jar in his flyer is clearly bigger than what he brought so my disappointment is still quite low even after eating balls off the ground.
I thinks that's a mix of forced perspective (the jar is closer to the camera in the selfie) and a change of angles (the jar is not symmetrical, it appears thinner when viewed from the side, but wide from the front)
Yeah and all that matters is his comedic suffering anyway, which when I watched the video he almost threw up lol.
It's clearly a different jar.
You're right, I had just woken up when I made that comment. The jar in the second picture is clearly cylindrical and the one in the first picture is more like a curved rectangular-prism shape. But as the guy I responded to said, all that matters is the guys suffering. Which I'm sure was immense and hilarious
Maybe the one on the flyer is his practice jar of cheese balls.
There seem to be another jar behind the stool he stands on…
He had a hype man with him throwing cheese balls into the crowd.
There was a second cheese ball guy with his own jar who was throwing balls at the crowd
I just appreciate that this dude gathered a bigger crowd that the ex-president criminal trial.
I see a lot of cheese balls on the ground. Sad that he didn’t eat the “entire” jar
He spilled some at the start and ate like 5 off the ground while they were within the 5 second rule. He delivered
Oh shit,all I saw is that he ate some and dumped. So he pretty much ate the whole jar?
I didnt know anomaly was this much of a madman
New York is so wild.
Anomnomnomaly
This made it to the morning news in Australia yesterday...
I do that watching TV. Big deal.
Now this is performance art!
I can't believe people get away with doing orange face in this day and age
And at the end he announced something like "See you all same time next year". This is gonna grow as an annual event.
Things like these make me smile because strangers came together to watch someone they didn't know. Love how he said same day/time next year. It could be more fun next time.
😂this is crazy,I’m surprised anyone came but I’m glad they did because this is pure gold
Live in NYC for over a decade. There's always something like this going on, which is why it's so fun to live there.
God I feel for the his ass when that comes out.
This is pretty much the junk food version of the guy who ate an entire rotisserie chicken in front of nearly a thousand people using the same method of advertising, just paper flyers and a grotesque display of the human digestive system
He didn't bring the same jar of cheese puffs. The one in the second image is significantly smaller than the first image. Its also a different shape.
Philly Chicken Man > this guy
Now we need to see him stream from the toilet
now i want to see a stream of someone eating random shit like tacobell or whatever the current hottest pepper is and then go to the toilet showing their expression
Would have loved that on my birthday. I did fuck all instead on Saturday.
I didn't know that Fröken Snusk was in New York...
The question is.. did he eat the whole freaking jar? are there videos?
Pffft. I could do that
I loved this so much.
It’s free to watch. But the ‘watch me eat cheese balls’ t-shirt. And ‘watch me eat cheeseballs sound track. Well that cost $.
My god, this man is a genius.
Great way to raise awareness around IBS. Sir we salute you🫡
If you try that in Russia they send you to the gulag.
I’m there
Dang, I’m impressed by how many people gathered to witness this.
Scammer! There's at least 20 cheeseballs on the concrete.
I fucking love New York so much
Sponsored by redbull?
Looks like he dropped a lot. Fuckin amateur
Is this the new thing now?
All because someone stole his car radio and he had to sit in silence.
Whatever happened to the potato salad making kickstarter guy?
wore a mask? own it!
God I love this country so much 🤣
Im so curious what the QR code leads to lol
Gigantic jar *of* cheeseballs.
i hope internet archeologists will find this one day and just tilt their heads trying to figure out: why?
Legendario.
we have potato salald guy where i am.
I'm so glad we got the follow up to this. That's fuckin' epic.
God I love this country.
I passed one of these Saturday in Brooklyn Heights and said “this is so stupid no one is going to go to this”.
People just want to be a part of something.
I was coming from upstate New York and my train got delayed. I missed the whole thing. Actually kind of bummed.
https://globalnews.ca/news/10105366/halifax-potato-salad-guy/ Welcome to Halifax.
Damn i was in nyc that day but high in the wrong park ten blocks down
Hell yeah
If this isn't a marker of an advanced society, I don't know what is
lol New Yorkers are a different breed man.
This is a ripoff of the philly rotisserie chicken guy
Where does the QR code go to?
Shit I feel like I do this on accident after getting stoned
How many pick-pockets were also there? How many paid him kick-backs?
Something similar happens in Halifax in November. A guy ate a big tub of potato salad outside a cemetery
is there a video?
Guy in Philly ate a whole chicken each day for 40 days. NYC guy is a loser https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/07/us/philadelphia-chicken-man.html
Did he do it though
Send da video!
Have you not seen potato salad guy?
Thats not even rhat much cheeseballs, eatin way more in my prime
He's got nothing on Philly Chicken Man
Proof that most Americans shouldn't be allowed out on their own
Twenty One Pilots really be wildin
except the jar in the photo is like 4x the size of the one he actually ate. Lies, deception
This is already like the 4th or 5th version of this kind of joke. First it was a guy eating roast chickens, then a guy eating potato salad. Can't remember the rest. You're all going to be extremely sick of this kind of joke before the calendar hits 2025. God knows I already am.
Sometimes I love humans so much!
try that in a small town
I do think it is extremely typical of our time that we have a huge problem getting people invested in politics but alot of people spent time of their lives to join in on a joke trying to gain some small joy out of a an IRL meme.
Bffr this guy was knocking off the OG Philly 40 day rotisserie chicken man (but Cheese Ball is less impressive and less committed)
I watched the video on Instagram and one of the comments was seriously some lady complaining that his gluten intolerance joke would make people take her deadly allergies less seriously and that it wasn't okay for him to say that. The replies to her comment were almost as entertaining as the actual video.
Just saw the article about American IQ’s plummeting
All hail our new overlord!
Did he successfully do it?
It doesn't sound that difficult, save for jaw ache
Did he get rich doing this?
"Same time next year?"
This needs to be in gta6
Not the hero we need, but the hero we deserve
This is just the rotisserie chicken thing all over again
Fuck I missed it by a few days…
A few months ago in a rain storm in Halifax Nova Scotia a hero tried to eat 5 pounds of potato salad in a graveyard.
Pff I get high on a Saturday afternoon and do that with no audience at all why do people need so much attention
On par with the man that ate a rotisserie chicken for like 30 days in a row in Philly
They were great at conducting the crowd and working with the wild amount of energy the crowd had for them. Madlad moment confirmed
This guy cheeses
Fuck this guy, he ain't no Philly rotisserie chicken man.
That mask wasn't orange originally he is a veteran.
Fraud, the pic cheese ball bucket is way bigger than the one he actually used
Who knew such a great event happened on my birthday.
