Dutch people love their snacks, but Max from Arnhem takes it to the next level. His mission? Eat 406 frikandels in just one month — because why not turn deep-fried dedication into a sport?
The challenge was simple. Max started by eating one frikandel on the first day of the month. Then, each day, he had to eat one more frikandel than the day before.
The 21-year-old documented his greasy journey on TikTok. However, he had to abandon ship once he reached his 120th frikandel.
The challenge failed
By day 15, Max hit a wall — well, technically, his stomach did. In a TikTok update, he waved the white flag, saying his body simply couldn’t handle it anymore.

He’d devoured 120 frikandels, and while the mind may be willing, the digestive system has its limits.
“After all those days eating nothing but frikandels, my body is irreparably damaged,” he confessed to his 13,000 followers.

A mini frikandel scandal
Not everyone was convinced that Max’s head was in the game.
As Hart van Nederland reports, some sharp-eyed viewers pointed out that Max was sneaking in mini frikandels instead of full-sized ones.
But let’s be real: whether big or small, eating 120 frinkandels and living to tell the tale? That’s still the stuff of legends.
And as Max wisely reminds us, it’s not just about the destination, but the journey.
