Come see World Eating Champion, Takeru Kobayashi, stuff his damn face against all comers at NATHAN?S FAMOUS JULY FOURTH INTERNATIONAL HOT DOG EATING CONTEST.

If you're in town, come watch people chow down!

On July 4, 2006, the eyes of the world will focus on Coney Island for what is believed to be the 91st installment of the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog-Eating Contest. Four-time world face-stuffing champion Takeru Kobayashi of Japan will look to make history as he defends his title against top eaters from around the globe.
In coming weeks, the finest eaters in the world will fight for one of 20 spots in the most celebrated sporting event of the year. According to archives, the contest has been held since 1916. This year, as in 2005, the event will be televised as a live, one-hour broadcast on ESPN.


International Federation of Competitive Eating


I don't know about you guys but I could eat three, maybe four, hot dogs. Takeru eats fifty-plus. Get that guy a newspaper and plenty of toilet paper!
 
It's disgusting....they stretch their stomachs to be able to do it. If you ever watch that MTV show on Kobayashi its gross....
 
Saw a news documentary about these competitions once. Even watching these guys "train" is hard to believe, seeing the amounts of food they can put down.

Wonder what their average caloric intake is during that time :cookie:

It really isn't all that hard. I could do like 20. If I could pay for them 😛. With a bit of training, I think I could manage around 35-40 or so..
 
Retarded. Gota love how people are starving to death in some places while we decide to waste tons of food doing this stupid ******...
 
According to their nutritional info, the "Nathan's Famous Hot Dog" contains:


  • 309 Calories
    20 grams fat
    7.73 grams saturated fat
    684 milligrams Sodium
    22.67 grams carbohydrates
    10.61 grams protein

Multiply by 50 - that's over 15000 calories, 1000 grams fat, 350 grams saturated fat and 34000 milligrams sodium.
 
I can't understand how these people could stand it. Yesterday, for the first time in my life, I actually overate to the point I felt sick. Don't ask me why, but I ate a big dinner and then a lot of fruit. At a certain point my stomach was so full it felt like it was going to rip, and I had a burning feeling of nausea similar to the feeling you get from eating a handful of salt. I figured it would get digested quickly enough and the feeling would go away, but it didn't. The feeling became so unbearable that I (for the first time in my life) walked to the bathroom and induced vomiting just to get some of the food out of my stomach.

Word to the wise: never do that.

Exactly. Competitive eating is hardly an exlusively American sport. Takeru is a big celebrity in Japan, in fact.

nearly half of the worlds food is thrown away, much of it by the companies that produce it [wheat and such] to keep world prices in check and 'maximize profits

Suprisingly, the world champ is tiny and damn ripped. mad 'spect to that. He destroyed everyone on that FOX special a few years back.

He's just the hotdog eating champion. In most of the other categories Americans lead. Of course most of the competitive eaters are pretty thin anyway, fat only serves to get in the way of stomach expansion.

Yes, and obviously its all going straight to the heart - oh wait, most of it is pooped out...
 
I can see it now...

Jimmy Dugan: Kobayashi, could you come here for a second? Which sponsor do you play for?
Kobayashi: Well, Nathan's Hot Dogs.
Jimmy Dugan: Well I was just wonderin' why you would throw-up when we got a two-hot dog lead. You let the tying hot dog get out of your mouth and we lost the lead because of you. Start using your head. That's the lump that's three feet above your ass.
[Kobayashi starts to cry]
Jimmy Dugan: Are you crying? Are you crying? ARE YOU CRYING? There's no crying, there's no crying in competitive eating. Rogers Hornsby was my manager, and he called me a talking pile of pigshit. And that was when my parents drove all the way down from Michigan to see me eat. And did I cry? NO. NO. And do you know why?
Kobayashi: No, no, no.
Jimmy Dugan: Because there's no crying in competitive eating.
 
Japanese are into this competitve eating thing. I watched a TV show (before reality tv hit gold) where a group of people compete on eating what ever the themed food is and it's an seasonal competition. And it wan't just 1 day, it's like compete 1 day, rest 1 day, compete again. And they are not eating hot dogs, they are japanese dishes, chef's special if you wish. They actually travel to the specific restaurant for this contest. At the end of the season the person with the most points win. I wonder if there is a league lol.

It is quite scary to watch these skinny people put away food that has to take up more space than their thorax.
