2009 Hot Dog eating contest: 68 dogs in 10 min

:Puke :Puke :Puke :Puke

I understand they train for this but I am genuinely curious what does this do to a body short and long term??

I can't watch any kind of food eating contest, as it automaticall sends me into uncontrollable gagging. I can't comprehend eating 68 hotdogs in a year, much less in 10 minutes. I'm actually starting to gag right now...

Yikes!

Would not want to be anyone trying to digest that.

I've heard about problems with nitrates and links to certain cancers.... there is that one Japanese guy who is the World Champion Hot Dog eater 5 years running, I'd be a little worried if I were him. But for people who just have an occasional dog and participate in this contest for fun? My only thought is - damn, that's a whole lotta sodium.

I've heard they usually make themselves vomit afterward.

Which would come with it's own set of problems.
