At the annual July 4th Nathan's hot dog eating contest held on Coney Island in NYC, Joey Chestnut beat his own record by consuming 74 hot dogs in ten minutes and the winner of the lady's division was Miki Sudo who was able to eat 37 hot dogs in just ten minutes.

I did not watch this year as its totally disgusting!! One is all I can manage!
 

I can’t watch stuff like this either without feeling like upheaving. It might be considered fun and exciting but I find it really disgusting.
 
I agree with others it's disgusting.

IMO their advertising dollars would be better spent by donating food to needy folks during natural disasters.

How about an image of thirteen kids in a cave in Thailand munching on Nathan's hotdogs while they wait to be rescued.
 
Considering that I eat about 3-4 p/year....he ate about 18 years worth in ten minutes.....

Can U say Alka-Seltzer ?
 
I'm with those that thinks it's a disgusting waste. These 'eating' contests could feed a lot of homeless.

It's not just a disgusting waste but literally will be a 'waste' because I doubt the competitors will garner little to no nutrition from their feast.

But when I see trays of aging but not bad food thrown away on a daily basis in convenience stores especially this shouldn't be a surprise.

Suppose the store gives the food to the homeless. Suppose one of them becomes ill as a result of it. You don't need to suppose what comes next: homeless bum sues store. In the process, the store gains an undeserved bad reputation and goes out of business.
 
I don't watch the contest but find it fascinating how they can shove the food in so fast. It got me to thinking what food I could consume in large quantities,of course I could never win a contest but I came up with two. I could hold my own for a little while eating watermelon. I just love red, ripe, cold watermelon. The second would be broiled mild fish like cod.

Interesting concept. Up until this latest gall bladder issue I think I’d be tops in a pizza eating contest
