Diminishing Marginal Utility in a 'Food Eating Contest'

This lecture clip demonstrates the concept of diminishing marginal utility in a vivid way. Three volunteers in my class take part in an eating contest where they have to eat as many Little Debbie Swiss Rolls as possible in three minutes. As the contestants start to get full (and get sick), they demonstrate the diminishing marginal utility of something they initially thought was a good. Little Debbie cakes have never been so educational!
