My initial reaction every year: This is 'effin gross and humans are dumb.

 

Then, immediately after: How big does your stomach have to stretch to hold all that? Or are you forcing some of it down into your upper intestine? How do you train for something like this? What does it do to your poo? Does everyone just puke it all out afterwards? Do you have to see a special doctor if you are preparing for something like this? What do your parents/spouses/siblings/co-workers/friends all think? Do you just smell like hot dogs all the time? How much does...

Ive actually seen the WeinnerMoble Once

 

quite some time ago

 

maybe this one 

 

 

its in the Ford museum  Detriot.

[IowaDee]

I saw one in Des Moines parked in the lot of a Mexican restaurant.  When we went inside, I scoped out

all the customers but wasn't able to pick the driver out.  Must keep some "civies" to change into

[Shelby]

I look forward to this contest all year long  

 

Along with hotdogs, the contestants eat major amounts of all kinds of food to qualify and be in Major League Eating.  I mean, I love raw oysters but can you imagine eating 47 dozen in 8 minutes?

[rotuts]

Some time ago

 

I had 4 roommates in College 

 

everybody ate at a central cafeteria w 6 different dining rooms w the same decor and food

 

some times on Friday there was Fried Shrimp   

 

lets say medium or so , batter crispy but not overwhelming to the Fried Shrimp Experience

 

you could take you plate back to the Line for sends , thirds or 33's

 

I suggested we have a Shrimp Eating Competition 

 

no prizes 

 

you had to leave just the tail on your tray for Verification , if need be

 

I of course Won !

 

 

119 confirmed shrimp.

 

second place : 79

 

etc.

 

I did note at about S # 45 one's mouth became a bit dry

 

small sips of Ice tea or what ever helped that.

 

on the short walk back to the Dorm , no real issues

 

they a lay down in my bed , and not really in any pain

 

became a bit concerned ?

 

was I about to die , later ?

 

worked itself out,

Shrimp + Youth  is a bit different

 

than ground Sodium Bombs

 

BTW :

 

 

where exactly are those two buns ?

 

the buns are the killers I think

 

expanding , expanding , expanding

He has a routine.  He eats two dogs and then two buns after dipping them in a big water cup.

[rotuts]

@Shelby

the water dip must have been the Key.

Yep, the water dip is crucial.  

 

I've followed MLE (major league eating) for many years.

 

I'm weird.

[Thanks for the Crepes]

I love to eat as much as the next gal/guy. I have to say, though, that I think the culture/society that promotes overeating to this life-threatening extent is extremely sad. 

 

78 hot dogs and buns. Think about it. I don't find it funny at all. Others see it differently, obviously.

After reading this, I have to agree with Yiannos' initial reaction.  

[lindag]

Even without actually seeing him do this I am pretty grossed out.

[Shelby]

This is a timely article

 

Most competitive eaters are very lean and in shape (not all, but most).  Now, their cholesterol levels might be a bit high....I don't know......  

 

 

[rotuts]

@Shelby

 

"He went on to say: '[They understand] muscle expands greater than fat does,' adding, 'the leaner you are, the greater expansion you have.'        "

 

interesting article.   I saw the 180 oyster show.

 

but the above make quote makes absolutely no sense at all .

 

I have no idea how they do these things

 

they must have a very large stomach , from ' training ' so hard.

Here in Canada, the result made the main page of our primary sports site, TSN (the equivalent of ESPN).

 

I don't understand why, but...they also broadcast poker tournaments. I don't "get" that as being in any way a sport, either.
