Ying Yang, I understand the whole stomach acid thing, but with that many hot dogs flying down his throat, it has to send that stomach acid into cardiac arrest!! By the way, I answered my own question, what do you tell the plumber when the toilet is clogged with 59 hot dogs,...you don't tell him anything, you just show him the trophy!
Well, I'm impressed. And I'm with you on the whole vomitting thing. I'm not sure what 59 hotdogs will do to a average colon, but I'm not betting against someone eventually using the phrase "cancer of the torso".
Weedy, your body might actually do a whole Kieth Richards reaction. You're putting so much bad stuff into your body, that your body can't register what's happening to it, and nothing happens.
I just wish "bicycle eating" was still a Guinness quest. I'd love to hear Chris Berman's "amusing" commentary and nicknames.
The term "Man" in the title of the FPP had me wondering who it could be if not Kobayashi or Chestnut. His performance in C.I. Last year earned him more than just "Man," No?
An"American" sport with an American champion.All is right in the world. posted by sickleguy at 7:38 AM CDT on June 4 Hot Dogs are as "American" as Pizza, for that matter! "The city of Vienna traces the lineage of the hot dog to the wienerwurst or Viennese sausage, the city of Frankfurt to the frankfurter wurst, which it claims was invented in the 1480s; the hot dog has also been attributed to Johann Georghehner, a 17th century butcher from the Bavarian city of Coburg who is said to have invented the "dachshund" or "little-dog" sausage and brought it to Frankfurt.[1]" [1] en.wikipedia.org
I remember reading that Babe Ruth once ate 24 hot dogs between games of a double header. I thought that was an incredible amount but compared to Joey Chestnut and Koybayashi it is no big deal. I still wonder how Ruth was able to play the second game. Chestnut exceeded Koybayashi's record by 10% (which would be similar to someone high jumping 8'10"). This sets the table for the 4th of July rematch of Chestnut vs. Koybayashi. Last year Koybayashi rallied to defeat Chestnut but this year Koybayashi will enter the contest as the dog. Chestnut's latest victory in the Southwest Regional earned him a one year supply of hot dogs which gives him the impetus for getting in the worst shape of his life come July 4th. Expectations are high for yet another world record. Barring injury, such as clogged arteries, Joey Chestnut's future is red hot.
Hot Dogs are as "American" as Pizza, for that matter! I think he means that eating lots of food really fast is an American sport. Note all the fat people.
