Mukbang performer Kinoshita Yuka went viral for extreme solo binge-eating feats.
Evidence
Kinoshita has headlined global news for her viral binge-eating videos that are posted on her YouTube channel, where she speaks in Japanese and English captions are provided. Some of her most notable feats include eating, in one videotaped sitting, 100 hamburgers from McDonald’s, 9,102 kcal of Taiwanese beef ramen, or 7 kg of Hello Kitty decorated birthday cake. Kinoshita begins each video by laying out the copious amounts of food she is about to eat in a flat lay. If she makes the meal from scratch, Kinoshita holds up ingredients to the camera while recording the cooking process – boiling, simmering, frying, stirring – highlighting heavy foods such as meat and carbohydrates enveloped in oil bubbles and steam. The sheer amount of raw ingredients she uses is intended to induce shock as viewers get a clear grasp of the amount of calories she will actually consume. — Crystal Abidin, Internet Celebrity, 113
