Eating 14 hot dogs in 10 minutes would have gotten you last place in last years Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest.
After five hot dogs I would have thrown up, and I like hot dogs. A hot dog and bun is apparently 250 calories. Multiply that by 14 and you have 3500 calories in 10 minutes. All that you need for a day, maybe day and a half in hot dogs. YUMMY! You could add another 500 calories for me because of the ketch-up I would have put on it.
Can you imagine a horse jockey or gymnast taking part in a hot dog eating contest? That would be really entertaining. They would be as excited for the contest as a five year old is to get their finger pricked and get a round of shots.
Competitive eating must have started in college, a bar or by a bunch of bored high school kids in the middle of nowhere. This also just seems like such a drunk teenage guy thing.
"I bet I can eat 4 hot dogs in 5 minutes"
"Your a wuss, I raise you to 10 dogs in 10 minutes"
"Your just bluffing"
"Watch me not puke"
If I didn't love July 4th (and spending it in New Hampshire or my Lake House) so much I'd actually want to go travel to Coney Island to see this event take place. I would be one of 40,000 people to attend the event. That's more people than show up to Marlins games in June and July.
