Man eats Chick-fil-A every day for 130 days -- except on Sundays
Can you imagine eating the same thing every day? Well, Matt Stoudt has been eating Chick-fil-A every day for over 130 days -- except, of course, on Sundays and on Thanksgiving Day. Back in July, the Nazareth, Pennsylvania resident set a challenge for himself -- to break the โunofficialโ record for consecutive days eating at Chick-fil-A after learning of a California man who had eaten at the popular chain for 114 days straight. Stoudt said things got rough around day 100 but he didnโt chicken out. Now heโs asking other Chick-fil-A fanatics not to beat him, because he doesnโt want to do it all over again.
