pie eating contest

Dessert speed challenge

A pie eating contest is a competition where participants race to consume pies as quickly as possible, typically without using their hands.

Contestants plunge their faces directly into the pies—usually fruit or cream varieties—creating a deliberately messy spectacle.

A staple of American county fairs and Fourth of July celebrations: The kids lined up for the pie eating contest.
