Fancy a hot dog...or 68!

[wickesy]

I'm always amazed how people manage to do things like this.

The world record for competitive hot dog eating has been broken in the US.

Joey "Jaws" Chestnut ate 68 hot dogs in 10 minutes at the annual 4 July contest at Coney Island in New York, shattering his old record of 66.

The 25-year-old Californian is a man of diverse taste, the BBC's Jon Donnison reports from Washington.

His other world records include eating 5kg of macaroni and cheese in seven minutes; and 188 jalapeno peppers in 10 minutes.
