“You can never have too much of a good thing,” is a phrase many of us are familiar with. However, when it comes to indulging in Applebee’s endless boneless wings, this saying might not hold true.
Overindulgence can sometimes lead to unexpected consequences, as two friends recently discovered.
A Gastronomic Adventure
Ellen and her friend Dylan embarked on what seemed like a delightful culinary journey at Applebee’s. Their mission? To consume as many of the restaurant’s boneless wings as they could.
A Drastic Change In Demeanor
Their adventure began with a plate of 10 wings. Initially, Dylan was enthusiastic, confidently stating, “I’m ready.” However, after consuming a total of 22 wings, his demeanor changed drastically.
Instead of basking in the glory of his achievement, Dylan found himself red-faced and perspiring profusely.
He humorously remarked, “It’s hotter than Satan himself,” while Ellen identified his condition as the infamous “meat sweats.”
Understanding the “Meat Sweats”
“Meat sweats” is a colloquial term that has piqued curiosity, but its scientific foundation remains debated. Healthline delves into this, questioning if it’s a cultural jest or a genuine physiological reaction.
While platforms like the Urban Dictionary offer definitions, the scientific community is yet to provide a concrete explanation. One theory from Healthline[1] is diet-induced thermogenesis, suggesting our body might produce more heat when digesting protein, leading to sweating.
On another note, Live Science[2]hosts an article titled “The Truth About ‘Meat Sweats,’ According to Science,” hinting at a scientific exploration of the topic.
While the term is widely recognized, its exact origins and mechanisms continue to be research subjects. It gained popularity from Friends, its validity as a medical condition remains debatable. For Dylan, however, the experience was all too real, culminating in an unplanned trip to the restroom.
Conspiracy Theories & Wing Challenges
The duo’s experience sparked a flurry of comments from viewers. Some speculated that Applebee’s might have a strategy to deter excessive wing consumption.
One commenter inquired,
“Did they drag their feet bringing you the 2nd and 3rd plates? I swear mine was trying to slow it down but they underestimated my stomach’s patience.”
Another boasted about their own wing-eating prowess, claiming, “My friend and I ate 35 each.”
Amidst the tales of wing challenges, a consensus emerged regarding the best wing flavor. Garlic parmesan emerged as the crowd favorite, with one individual commenting, “Those garlic parms are [fire].”
