The fella that finished third was the record holder with 1.75 gallons of ice cream in 8 minutes. How did he avoid an ice cream headache?
ditto and it's the most god awful pain. Maybe he's just a politician and the hot air he spews keeps his throat at a comfortable level .
He looked like he was about to spew several times. I"ve wondered if they send it back out the way it went in or let it process the old fashioned way. Seems that many calories in one sitting can't be good for you.
I could eat a LOT of hotdogs but its the time that would kill me. It's funny because I'm an average sized guy 6'1 190 but I could pack away hot dogs. I've always wanted to see how many I could eat in a sitting.
Same here. It's total bull**** that food in the mouth counts as eaten... Chestnut's mouth is gigantic and he stuffs it at the end. ESPN did a piece about him and how he finishes "strong". BS, the guy just stuffs his mouth full with a min left and gets a huge advantage. Kobayashi > All.
There is a secret part of me that would like to know how I would do as well but my perceived sense of diginity wouldn't allow it. Personally i think if the guy can get an extra 2-3 hotdogs in his cheeks that freakish accomplishment should be rewarded in itself, it just ain't right. lol
