Joey Chestnut

[WEDWDW]

After Joey Chestnut "drinks" 70 something Hot Dog buns and "eats" 70 something wieners and the Cameras are gone,does he allow the normal digestive process to take place or does he use other "measures"?

If it is the normal process how does he even function for the next few days?!!!WOW!!!!

I try not to think about that part. Lol.

I read an article this morning that medical researchers studied and explained what happens to the body after such competitions.

1 hot dog is plenty for me.

I heard an interview with Joey yesterday about how he was preparing for today's competition. The day before, he ate an apple, a salad and drank lots of water. He approaches the competition with an empty stomach and makes sure he's well-hydrated. He has "trained" his stomach to stretch enough to accommodate that amount of food. Soaking the buns helps them go down easier and take up less room in his stomach because they're more compact. He said he will "feel like garbage" for about 4 days after the competition, then his body will return to normal. According to him, the discomfort is worth it. Personally, I think it sounds gross!

His body gets a break this year, it was rained out.

No, he won again.
It was postponed for rain, but they still held it.

I'm more interested in finding out how KarissaEats is able to scarf down all of the food she eats on her videos.

Wow, the article on my news feed says it was rained out.

 

[Southernmiss]

62 hotdogs and buns in 10 minutes followed by beer.

Wow, reading the now updated article, it appears that many were surprised the competition resumed.

I've wondered the same thing. I think she only takes a bite or two of each item for filming. She can't possibly be finishing everything she tries without exploding!

That's because someone was struck by lightening. He's been taken to the hospital. Maybe some thought it was insensitive to resume.

Here's the nearly 12 minute video. Not for the faint of stomach.

Watch what you can, skip a lot, go to the end, etc.

Isn't the entire contest a bit insensitive? Given the problems many have with eating in this country.

Those people can CHOOSE to not attend. Just as those who want to attend, eat or watch can also CHOOSE to do so.

The era of cancel culture - where a loud group gets to 100% cancel something is slowly coming to an end, as people see LOUD and INSISTENT doesn't necessarily speak for everyone. And sometimes it's inappropriate or just stupid. People need to have SELF-Accountability. If it's a trigger for some, they can simply not attend and watch.

The Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest is put on by the Nathan's Hot Dog company. They don't hide what what they make and represent, (meat hot dogs,) or what the contest is about. The title of the contest is as clear as day.

If Impossible Burgers wants to do their own contest, or a non-eating/fasting company, or a healthy eating company wants a booth to put out their own info and event, they can get a permit to put on their own event TOO.

Hardly. Entire groups of people are getting cancelled. For some people their entire existence is based on canceling people they don't agree with. They will denigrate them, vilify them, and protest them non-stop. Glad we have freedom fighters inside the Disney company that still believe in American Exceptionalism.

Some of us have been seeing people and groups who have been canceled coming back after being "cancelled." And some organizations are being slower to completely cancel someone or something. And YES, there are fighters fighting back. Duh! Makes my point. Many are NOT just accepting other groups trying to totally cancel out someone or something.

You can choose to be cancelled or not. Your choice. No one can cancel you. Jordan B Peterson has been cancelled millions of times. It hasn't impacted him at all. I admire people like him who refuse the refusers.

I find the whole thing gross, so I didn't watch. But I definitely expect he feels awful after.

The process isn’t as gross as what it’s done to his face. He may have been a decent looking guy decades ago.
