In 2022, Madison Dapcevich of Snopes, the fact-checking website, investigated Lotito's claim that he ate an entire airplane. She concluded that, although there are many accounts of Lotito's consumption of unusual objects, and that he "very likely" consumed such objects on stage as a professional entertainer, she was unable to confirm that Lotito ate an entire airplane, or even part of one.
Looks like there's no real record of him having eaten a plane. Likely a tall story he or his cohorts created.
The amount of metals, plastics, and other plane parts that he would have had to consume should have done lasting damage to his physiology.
If heground everything to a fine powder and juiced it then he is just left with the chemical reaction damage.
One was pooping scrap, the other was scrapping poop
Yeah, the title should be "claimed to eat a plane".
Journalist: So, how was it?
Lotito: Still better than English food!
I can absolutely believe this would have been his answer.
French people cannot pass a chance to make fun of British cuisine.
cuisine
It’s so bad, they have to use a french word to make it sound palatable.
Lotito holds the record for the 'strangest diet' in the Guinness Book of Records. He was awarded a brass plaque by the publishers to commemorate his abilities. He ate his award.
I would expect nothing less.
Maddening that the article doesn’t list his cause of death. What did he die of??
Natural causes!
Well, I’ll be damned. Also, the chompers on the man look exactly like what I’d expect for a plane-eater.
He tried to poop out an entire airplane.
His colon and entire digestive system has to be absolutely wrecked.
FWIW he died at age 55.
It's not that bad : the plane wasn't made by Boeing.
According to this article his stomach and intestines had unusual thick lining and strong gastric acids, so maybe they were not so bad.
That is an ancient looking 55 year old.
Let me tell you his diet!
However, it also meant that soft foods, such as bananas and hard-boiled eggs, made him sick.
Hmm best example of soft food? Hard-boiled eggs!
Hard boiled eggs are pretty soft, tbh
Soft boiled eggs are softer
I've never been a fan of how crunchy they are, though.
Where does the man shit? I'd hate to be his landlord
That's such a good point I hadn't considered. This stuff would've absolutely fucked up the plumbing in most places. Not to mention the sewage treatment facility's filters having to deal with all that debris.
Wow France cuisine must really suck
When I read the title, my first guess was Tarare. Sounds like the kind of thing he'd've done if planes had been invented.
Imagine the gate agent having to tell the passengers why their flight is canceled.
What a poseur.

That's cute, but doesn't quite hold a candle to Tarrare.
