Nathan's annual Hot Dog turn-off contest

After watching this for just a minute or two, it's unlikely that I will eat another hot dog within the next 6 or 8 months.

But ignoring my disgust for a moment, how do they do it? Consume 60+ hot dogs in 10 minutes? That's one hotdog ever 10 seconds. All together, about 18 POUNDS of food in 10 minutes.

That's an impossible feat, probably made possible by some digestive altering trickery. And that makes it even more disgusting.

@Thinkerbell They destroy the toilets for the next 2 days. Don't go near them

They are freaks in that theit stomachs can temporily expand so much. Often they are normal sized people

I used to see Kobayoshi at a gig a few hours after each win

@Slade

Or maybe it's a trick and what we don't see is the colostomy or fecal collection bag and it all just passes right through them. And before the contest they prepare themselves as if they were preparing for a colonoscopy.

@Heartlander That could be true. But ESPN is so shameless they'd make the prep show a pay per view!

It's disgusting, for sure. They pack down the bread by drinking a little water. I would imagine most of them will be sick later on.

that’s a good way to poison your pancreas. Nitrites can cause diabetes type II if you eat them often. 60 hot dogs is probably more than someone should eat in a year if that much.

@cherokeepatti he's been doing it for 17 years with no problems...

@Heartlander It takes a racist to bring up "the race card." And we've had Republican mayors, like Rudy Giuliani, who went from being a good mayor to a wacko Trump lackey.

And the city just isn't that dangerous. The media creates a lot of hysteria about it when they have nothing better to do.

@RedBaron I'm not a Republican, I'm an anti-Democrat.

I'm pretty familiar with quite a few big US cities, and sadly witnessed them being gutted through the 1960s and 70s. Heck I even lived in NYC for about 9 or 10 months in 1969/70. Ed Koch was probable the only Democrat in my lifetime that I remember favorably.

@Heartlander It rebounded a great deal beginning in Koch's time. As I said, it's just not that dangerous. The media blows it way out of proportion.

there is no food that I enjoy that I want to sit and eat 60 servings of. I can only imagine the purging process afterwards and how their stomach can hold all of that in one sitting is beyond my ability to comprehend.

Thinkerbell · 41-45, F

I think I'd throw up if I tried to eat three in 10 minutes. 🙄

@Thinkerbell Chestnut headlocked the Antifa creep and didn't miss a bite!
