    I must be a real grouch or something because this seems totally stupid to me. Eating contests where people gorge themselves on food to win a contest is ridiculous and a very grave danger to their health. How many grams of salt do you think were ingested by the winner? Do they take an emetic afterwards?

    There's also the problem in this country where a lot of people don't even have one hot dog available to eat for dinner, so I have no patience with these contests. Even if that were not the case, I'd probably feel the same about it.

    I remember when growing up, a nearby area held them and called them pig contests. Someone I knew won and ate more ice cream than anyone else. You also had to pay for everything you ate, which was probably the point of the whole thing.

      You are entitled.

    I think that if I ate that much, they'd have to carry me out on a stretcher

      How do these people do this without vomiting? :confused:

      Just the smell of a hotdog churns my tummy.
