A YouTuber and charity worker took on an immense challenge for his 2.26K subscribers - eating an enormous portion of chicken tikka masala.
The curry challenge contained six jars of tikka masala sauce, rice, and a hefty portion of chicken, with the dish weighing in at 12.3lb and racking up an eye-watering 8000 calories.
Max Stanford, 34, managed to devour the meal in just 34 minutes and 57 seconds.
Max, from South London, said: “12lbs of chicken tikka masala was never going to go down easily, so my huge spoon really helped to mix everything together.
“After ten minutes, I’d made a pretty big dent in the curry and was about halfway through.
“The initial taste was amazing, and it bought back a lot of childhood memories as it was a dish my mum, Fiona, 64, would make often.”

Max took on the challenge at the new year after being challenged by one of his favourite professional eaters and 2019 Hooters wing champion, Geoff Esper.
He said: "I’ve always been a big fan of Geoff, so was super excited to do a collaboration with him, where he challenged me to eat a huge bowl of tikka masala.
“He wanted to make it difficult for me, so set the weight at 12lbs, which is about 15 times your average curry dish.”
Not only did Max conquer the immense challenge, but he even managed to enjoy a side of teacake.
He adds: “The flavour fatigue did set in after a while, which is why I ate a teacake in between to mix the flavour up.
“Finishing the curry was definitely the best part.
“I’ve never eaten that much of one thing so quickly before, so I was pleased at the professional level of eating I managed."
“I definitely would have struggled if the curry was hotter, as it would have been quite hard to eat all of that spice.
“I’m really glad Geoff put me up to the challenge, and I’d love to copy some of the challenges that he’s done in the future, like eating 100 pop-tarts within 30 minutes.”
This is not Max's first food challenge - two weeks ago he took on an epic 22,000 calorie eating challenge with girlfriend Laura, in which they pitted US and UK snacks against each other.
In order to keep his physique in spite of the insane food challenges he takes on; Max combines daily cardio training at the gym as well as eating salads and healthy alternatives on non-challenge days.
