When I was a kid, I harbored a secret love of fake food – doll house-sized cereal boxes, perfect fried eggs that came with my plastic play kitchen, and tiny replicas of very not-kosher chili cheese dogs and lemonade pitchers that accompanied my Surf’s Up Beach Barbie. (To this day I’m still oddly fascinated by the plates of ersatz linguine and plastic lettuce salads shellacked with faux dressing that restaurants display in their front windows.)

But the folks at Nintendo have taken their fake food obsession to the next level.

Their interactive gaming system, Wii, is famous for video games like Guitar Hero which get players off the couch and thrashing around on a fake controller guitar. Today, a new Wii game was released. Major League Eating will engage players in fake competitive eating contests. According to a story in New York Magazine:

You use the wireless Wii controller, which has a motion sensor inside, to simulate eating food for a set time period. There are “cram” foods, like hamburgers and burritos, for which you move the remote to and from your mouth; “toss” foods, like sushi and meatballs, which you “eat” by flicking your wrist upward; and “typewriter” foods, like watermelon and corn on the cob, which require you to move the remote across your mouth.

Personally, I’m a little freaked out at the thought of competitive eating in general, let alone simulated competitive eating. Does the game come with little wet naps to clean the spit off the controller? On the plus side, players can’t mindlessly munch their way through an entire bag of Doritos with both hands firmly on the controller.
