A #philly legend is born. There's some amazing stuff in here.

His goal today: eat over 1,000 oysters — a feat he hoped to achieve by chugging several at a time, thanks to the help of two attendants in green bikinis.

He has gone viral for a series of videos where he multiplies the number of oysters he consumes with each challenge, literally doubling down each time. Having started on July 30 with one oyster, by Aug. 16 he was up to 512 oysters.

Powers of two optimal growth strategy!

In short, the challenge has been a roundabout, complex way for him to highlight the nutritional benefit of oysters — what he calls “zinc maxxing.”

Assisting Ty in the challenge were two women, one holding a bottle of hot sauce and the other a “freedom funnel” — a plastic eagle with an opening that normally spews out beer. During one of the oyster pours from the freedom funnel, one of his attendants accidentally poured Tabasco into his eye. “My eye! My eye!” he shouted.
