    Ohh. I can enjoy 3 in 10 minutes. If I had to can likely do 10. Wouldn't hold them down easily. Yum

    As much as I love a good eating contest, I can’t watch this competition. The water dipping thing grosses me tf out!  Nothing worse than soggy ass bread.

    I can stomach video after video of “Have a nice day!” LA Beast puking, snotting, & drooling all over everything from extreme spicy challenges, but I can’t watch a guy eat a wet hot dog bun without gagging.

    No one mentions the guy that Chestnut choked in the middle of a competition?

    I miss Kobiyashi.

    I had heard about this contest and thought it was interesting, until I actually saw it on ESPN a number of years ago. It was gross.

    I didn't even notice it until afterwards and someone reported about it.

    Chestnut did a real life 80's movie neck-snap move on that jabroni.  He should have went for the MacGruber throat rip instead. 

    And the adult was wearing a kids darth vader halloween mask and was protesting pork hot dogs at an all-beef hot dog contest ... not exactly going places with his (past) life.  How can you expect to have your message taken seriously when you spend a grand total of $3.42 on your costume?  Gotta go full Vader in this situation.

    I imagine his family will opt for the Folgers can to spread his ashes at sea.

    Party On, Dudes!

    Oh my God, hahaha, I just watched a documentary about competitive eating on Disney+: The Good, the Bad, and the Hungry. :DI legit wondered many times if this was a mockumentary, it was so fucking funny! It's real, but the creators for sure made it funny on purpose anyway. I think? Fascinating doc anyway, lol.
    It's also totally disgusting obviously. Some people might not even be able to watch it - could induce the gag reflex.

    I wonder if it was the same thing I watched on ESPN?  It showed Kobiyashi getting arrested.

    Probably. That was the title of the one included in the 30 for 30 series.

    annual bump

    Guessing Chestnut eats like 70 dogs and wins by at least 15 (although hoping there is a few decent competitors and makes it at least semi-competitive)

    They should line up the hot dogs to see what distance 62 covers maybe 5yards? Or more?
