Prilosec Sponsors Chicken Wing Eating Man

June 17, 2011

Ryan Hohman would like to think of himself as "The Ultimate Wingman." His 2011 goal? To eat 2,011 chicken wings. Currently he stands at 884 wings consumed (and a shocking 12 pounds of weight lost so far). Now, he has a corporate sponsor as well. 

Prilosec OTC is a well-known and popular heartburn medication. In April, they announced that they would sponsor someone with a goal. Hohman applied and was selected for that sponsorship. The company has created a blog to track Hohman's progress.

In announcing the sponsorship, the company wrote "Your love of chicken wings flew away with you, and now you’re well on your way to becoming a wing connoisseur. Your enthusiasm for “meat-ing” your goal of 2,011 wings this year gets us “fried” up. And, we love that you stay in touch with fans on your blog and other social networking sites. Your creativity made you a top choice for sponsorship." 

He has also coined the Twitter hashtag #winging. Follow his progress there or on Facebook
