We did do a trial run in Fort Collins, Colorado, and the last person had one Oreo left before he didn’t keep it down, so it has not been achieved yet, Manhattan, Kansas Fat Shack General Manager Melinda Mitcham told KSNT News.
Fat Shack customers looking to participate must eat these menu items: One Double Cheeseburger with a side of Fries, two Whole Fat Shack sandwiches, 12 Mac N Cheese Bites, and five Deep-Fried Oreos.

Fat Shack founder Tom Armenti began operating his own late-night restaurant in 2010 inside a bagel shop 6:00 pm to 4:00 am.
The business began to grow after over a year, leading Armenti to build the first Fat Shack restaurant in Fort Collins in August 2011.
Business boomed in the Colorado city and Armenti packed his bags and moved to the Centennial State.
There are currently 29 Fat Shack restaurants nationwide, with 10 of them located in Colorado.
