Competitive eater Matt Stonie is back with a horrifying new challenge: a 3-pound gummy worm.

Stonie is no stranger to stuffing an unhealthy amount of food down his gullet in record time. He's ranked second in the world by Major League Eating and his YouTube channel is dedicated to his own timed food challenges.

Recently, Stonie washed down a 3-pound gummy worm (which you can buy on Amazon for $27 if you want to share it with 15 of your friends).

Stonie finished the worm in under 8 minutes, leaving him icing his jaw by the end of the clip. And while that's impressive, we and Stonie both urge you not try it at home. Nobody needs that much sugar.
