Annual Hot Dog Eating Competition


Looks like it came down to USA vs. Japan! The challenger Joey "Jaws" Chestnut was now up against the Hot Dog eating MONSTER, Kobayashi "Tsunami" Takeru. The latest results of the Nathan's Hot Dog eating competition has left people in awe as Joey Chestnut defeats a 6 year record by Kobayashi to hold the new World Record for the amount of hot dogs eaten in 12 minutes, 66 hotdogs and the buns. Doing the math, that is approximatly one hotdog every 12 seconds 0_0.



I read up on how Kobayashi competes; he works out so that his daily calorie intake (5000+) does not store as fat. He also has a way to settle the hotdogs lower into his stomach. He eats his hotdogs, then puts the buns in water/sprite to huff them down. Joey managed to down 66 hotdogs. How these guys do it amazes me, it HAS to mess up their insides later down the road. Great job Joey! I have seen Takeru before (in 2006), and that guy can EAT 0_0
