About the annual Hot Dog eating competition...?

Question

Takeru Kobayashi ate 531/2 hot dogs in 12 minutes.

FIFTY-THREE.

I can barely eat more than FIVE.

Is this alarming? Insane? Admirable? Disgusting? Fifty three hotdogs...I'm not sure what to think. What about you folks?

Answer 1

My dog could do it. She evens knows the "hot dog" songs. I was going to bring her last year to our local contest. She even knows the Oscar Myer Weiner Car by sight. And she got a whistle last time we saw them which she wears on her collar.

Answer 2

i think a dinner date with kobayashi will last like 30 seconds because he eats so fast lol a more insane challenge would be how many peanut butter sandwiches one can eat,probably 2 before one starts to choke due to no more milk lol i can barely finish one sandwich of any kind.i think he pukes afterwards,then works out at the gym non-stop.otherwise,he'll turn into a fatty.it's ironic how the people at the top of the eating competitions are fairly thin looking people,such as sonya thomas.i heard that if one eats too much,one may die due to the overflow of food.i saw a glimpse of him on the news.i don't really care for his winning of any food contests but i do think he's hot.he looks like a video game character with the bright orange/yellow hair & his 6-pack abs look like an 8-pack lol in a good way though,almost fake/plastic looking.i wonder if he's a japanese robot.i wouldn't be surprised if he is,since the japanese are so creative & smart technology-wise.

Answer 3

hey man..he probably trains and trains and trains to get his stomache stretched to massive capacity. I wouldn't think its healthy to eat almost 54 hot dogs..especially depending on what kind of hot dogs they are and that amount of bread/carbs would be insane, however after a certain point I doubt anyone's body could actually digest all that food matter and break it down into useable energy or storable energy (fat). I watched a guy eat 3 large platters of spaghetti and meatballs (at least 8 pounds of food) at a professional eating contest. He also downed about half a gallon of water too. It was just amazing. The guy also was about 7 feet tall and weighed about 600 pounds.

Answer 4

Groooaaaan. Five is way too many. But I like mine with kraut and potato salad on the side.

Answer 5

it's all 3!

Answer 6

Well I dont think eating lots of processed meat like hot dogs is good for your body, supposedly it leads to diabetes and colon cancer. I dont think eating 53 1/2 hot dogs is good either spiritually or physically its called gluttony, but whatever gets them off.

Answer 7

might not be the healthiest thing to do.. but i think it's an interesting sport

that dude joey chestnut (san jose state student) was pretty close to beating kobayashi.. he finally has some real competition

Answer 8

he trains like crazy to stretch his stomach and to keep a huge mass of muscle on him, which is needed so that he doesnt turn into a lardass

PS - He ate 53 and 3/4ths

Answer 9

Its so disgusting to think of that many hotdogs being eaten in one setting.

Answer 10

likely because it really is not fairly a praise, it sounds extra like a command to practice to be extra acceptable at it. not the kind of praise you need to be giving her, is possibly why your baffled why she will't take one. Why not provide her a real praise she will take, like your a astounding spouse and that i imagine your eye-catching, now that is a real praise, why not attempt that one and word how she takes it!
