The man that beat the living hell out of the malt challenge at Crown Candy a few days ago is not who he claimed to be. We now are positive the actual record holder is Ben Monson. Yesterday we reported that the famous Crown Candy malt challenge has its ass handed to it by someone who claimed to be Kevin Ross.

Not only has the famed Crown Candy malt challenge been bested, but a new record has been set! According to reports, a Kevin Ross from San Bernardino, California waltzed in to the popular St. Louis store and proceeded to drain seven malts in six minutes. The “goal” of Crown Candy’s challenge is five malts in 30 minutes. The man, who gave his name as Kevin Ross of San Bernardino, California, was in the store Tuesday, according to co-owner Andy Karandzieff. [Read More]

An “interesting” little item got dropped on our laps last night: A White Castle candle.

Though we certainly don’t consider ourselves one of the White Castle crazy group, we enjoy a little steamed burger from time to time. That being said, this thing stinks. As in it doesn’t smell good. It looks cool, but the chance of it ever getting lit at Punching Kitty HQ is about the same as Mike Shannon staying sober past the seventh inning.

Now if you want your home to smell like a White Castle, then although it’s not our jam, this candle is for  you. It does smell quite a bit like a White Castle burger. It fails though if you want it to incorporate the smell of loneliness and despair that you can only enjoy if you get out of your car and enter the White Castle yourself.

One more shot after the jump.

Two Columbia, MO garbage men decided throwing away one shipment of expired beer was hard enough, and they just couldn’t bring themselves to do it again. A Columbia distributor, Scheppers Distributing Co., sent 1,500 cases of expired beer to the landfill on April 1 in two shipments.

Margrace Buckler, the city’s human resource director, said two Solid Waste Division workers, who haven’t been identified, brought a city pickup truck to the landfill and hauled off about 50 cases of the beer.

Egan O’Keefe from The Riverfront Time’s Gut Check blog has a photo gallery up of the best places to eat after midnight.

We here at Punching Kitty don’t agree much with the first “establishment” on the list, the Eat Rite diner. but we understand its significance.

What do we like?  Although it didn’t make the list, we will always love City Diner on South Grand.

Joe Edwards, Loop Godfather and owner of Blueberry Hill has decided to celebrate Abe Lincoln’s 200th birthday by sticking a flag in to his already amazing burger and call it the Gettysburger!  For an added touch, the burger also comes with a copy of the Gettysburg Address, because why not right?

We had one earlier today and it was of course great.
