How Urban Legends Are Born...

A coworker that made it to Gyoza Eating Contest on Saturday claims that it became a vomit fest. Competitors and audience members became sick during and after. It began with one competitor who had enough a couple minutes in during the 10 minute battle and the wave carried over to others in attendance. Allegedly!

"It smelled like gyoza and puke and gyoza-puke..."

This exactly the kind of thing you don't want to hear at the lunch table, but there you have it. It sounds exaggerated and is entirely possible that he's borrowing heavily from Stand By Me. I stated in the previous post that I was not there. Can anyone confirm this as fact?
