Coney Island apparently has an annual hot dog eating contest. There is one for the women and one for the guys. The woman's record set in 2009 is 41 hot dogs in 10 minutes. GAG! I mean, I don't even like hotdogs that much. These days I feel full rather quickly. Do you like hot dogs? How many do you think you could eat?

I don't like hot dogs anymore. They're just too nasty, give me a hamburger eating contest any day over this hotdog eating contest. If I was forced to eat them, I'd probably get 10 down before I exploded.

10 is a good number. It have hamburger eating contest too. One time, I saw a news about a World Hamburguer Eating Championship, the winner was a japanese guy that eat 93 hamburgers. Also, he won $20.000 for do that.

twenty thousand dollars? wow that's a lot of money! I don't think I'd eat that many hamburgers just to win that much though.

Yes, it was a World Championship, I think that's why they were paying more than usual. Usually, those eating contest pay cash prizes for the first places, but I don't think it worth too!
But, if you like to eat, you can make this your job! :)

I don't personally love hot dogs. Maybe if they are cut up in some baked beans or grilled. I can eat about one, depends on how hungry I am . I think these people that do any kind of eating competition train their bellys somehow. Like an athlete trains his muscles. They probably don't keep all that in their stomachs much after either. But ya wow a woman putting away that many hotdogs ewww...not very lady like lol.

Yep, they have a incredible preparation to eat that much of food. I know that they have to drink a lot of water to stretch the stomach, one eating contest winner said that he drank 4 litres of water in 3 minutes, twice a day, for two weeks. Also, on the day of the contest, they have to do a cleanse on their body.
It's a lot of work, but some eating contest offers good money prizes.

I like hot dogs sometimes. I think I could eat about 6 of them if they were not on a bun. I would have to at least have some mustard and ketchup to dip them in though. They don't taste good by themselves.

Wow that's kind of gross. I like hot dogs but I don't love them. I couldn't imagine eating more than two or three let alone 41! It amazes me how these skinny guys get up there and eat so many hot dogs. Though I guess when you eat that fast, your stomach doesn't register that it is full right away. I couldn't imagine how full they must feel when it finally hits them. I wonder if they through up afterward.

I know I definetly would throw up after a eating contest. But, probably they feel like the guy of Man vs Food, it's so funny to watch his eating contests. That I remember he only throw up only once. On season 2, he's seems that he got used to eat a lot of food. It's all about preparation, these guys drinks a lot of water, so, their stomach are bigger than ours.

Well without bread I could probably eat around 6 people wanting to puke. I really love hotdogs but not enough to eat forty one of them in one setting! My stomach is not that big either! I would have such a stomach ache. If you added bread I could prob only eat four before wanting to barf lol. I dont know how they eat all those hotdogs. I guess thats why many of these people train.

I'd probably have a hot dog and that would be all;to be honest,it makes me uncomfortable to imagine that woman swallowing 41 hot dogs in 10 minutes,I don't think I would resist to watch her or others who participate in such bizarre contests,I would be sick just looking,so that type of competition is certainly not for me.

The first time I saw a eating competition on TV, I thought the same way as you. But, I think you get used to, now these type of thing don't make me uncomfortable anymore, is kind fun to watch! Specially the guys competition, it's incredible how they can eat so much food in so short time!

I like hot dogs but usually one hot dog will be fine for me. I will feel very full if I have two hot dogs. I can't imagine how I feel if I can swallow 41 hot dogs, it is hard to believe. I think this record is too difficult to be broken:)
I love China

I know there's a method to eating such a quantity in such a short amount of time. Hot dogs are ok, I usually only eat 2, maybe a 3rd if I'm really hungry.

41 hot dogs is a huge amount of food. That is crazy. I enjoy a hot dog every now and then. In a contest, though, two would be my limit. That is with the bun. I would definitely lose that contest. My weakness would be a chocolate cream pie that is homemade. I could eat a whole pie.

Well, depends of the size of the hot dog. I already saw on TV these type of competitions, usually the hot dogs are not really big, but 41 wow..is too much!! I think I can eat, if I'm very starving, 5 or 6 hot dogs. And that's because I really like hot dogs, I think it's a very easy to make meal and tastefull.
Do you know how many hot dogs the winner guy eat? If a girl eat 41, imagine how many the guy had to eat to win this title..
