Petite model fights stereotypes by eating 120 McNuggets

Somebody feed the model! Or not…

Wearing a “Keep Calm and Eat On” shirt, a petite Nela Zisser, formerly Miss Earth New Zealand, decided to try her hand at the popular “120 Chicken McNugget Challenge.”

“Normally this is done in teams, but today I’m doing it solo,” she explains at the beginning of the online video, looking a little skittish.

As she rifles through boxes of the McDonald’s food, she carefully dips each nugget into sauce before eating it. Occasionally she reaches for water, but Zisser mostly keeps a consistent pace. This is clearly an experienced eater at work.

“That is harder than it looks,” she says after eating all 120 McNuggets in just over 16 minutes. Without losing any along the way, Zisser appears out of breath by the end.

Still, the effort fell short of Matt Stonie’s victory, who ate 120 McNuggets in just over 14 minutes, according to Zisser.

This won’t keep her down. When the 22-year-old stunner is not strutting her stuff on the catwalk, she is a competitive eater.
