Golfer's Win Forces Man to Eat Only Chili!
19 Feb
Summary
- A man bet he'd eat only Wendy's chili if Scottie Scheffler won.
- He has lost 22 pounds during the month-long chili-only diet.
- Wendy's is supporting him and offering a National Chili Day deal.
Larry Shea, a 55-year-old bar owner, is currently enduring a 31-day diet consisting solely of Wendy's chili after betting against golfer Scottie Scheffler. Shea had confidently stated on X (formerly Twitter) that Scheffler would not win, but Scheffler's subsequent victory compelled Shea to uphold his unusual wager.
Since January 22, Shea has consumed only Wendy's chili for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, abstaining from any accompaniments. Despite the monotony and physical challenge, he has experienced significant weight loss, shedding around 22 pounds. Wendy's has engaged with Shea on social media, providing encouragement and free meals throughout his month-long challenge.
The fast-food chain is also leveraging the situation, announcing a special offer for National Chili Day on February 26. Shea, who has been drinking ample water and black coffee to supplement his diet, notes a decrease in his energy levels and concentration. He plans to celebrate the bet's conclusion with a fried chicken sandwich.
