In the Fruit Eating competition with mangoes, papaya, watermelon or banana that one had to eat in 2 minutes there was a large number of entries. Previous bench marks of 1.3 kg mango pulp, 1.65 kg papaya and 2.2 kg watermelon pulp in 5 minutes were bettered.

Fruits were weighed before and after the set time to obtain the net weight of the pulp that is eaten. Suresh Naik has been the pace setter last year while Tejesh Talkadkar was the pace setter in 2003. He just could not win all the four
fruit categories this time, try though he did!

After eating or, rather, hogging 1.100 kg mango pulp in two minutes and as much papaya after a 30 minute break, he had o stop after eating 600g of watermelon.

Nizar N.K of Miramar pipped him by eating 1.7 Kg of watermelon and even Neela Pai Bhandare outdid him with 650g watermelon to come third.
