The World Pie Eating Championships ended because the pies were too big. A worker ordered the wrong size of pies. They were two times bigger than normal. The pies should be 12cm across and 3.5cm deep. The meat and potatoes should be less than than 1cm. The fastest eating time before the contest ended was 42.6 seconds.

The World Pie Eating Championship started with people eating pies as fast as they could. That changed, so people now eat just one pie as quickly as they can. In 2006, a vegetable pie was added. In 2005, people were angry because the pies were not from a different town. In 2007, they ran out of pies.
