Competitor Jenny Carden takes part in the World nettle eating contest, on June 22, 2024 in Waytown, United Kingdom. The contest, currently held at Dorset Nectar Cider Farm, began in the late 1980s when two farmers argued over who had the longest stinging nettles in their field evolving into the World Nettle Eating Championships where participants eat the nettle leaves from 2-foot-long stalks for half an hour. The person who eats the longest length of nettles is crowned Nettle King and the Nettle Queen. (Photo by Finnbarr Webster/Getty Images)
