The GFS Hot Dog Challenge

[OldTimey]

This seems really easy. I'm slightly above average size and could eat 100 by myself in two days. Buns would be much, much harder. Eating them with mustard/ketchup is probably a mistake unless you can't eat them plain taste-wise. Too much mustard will make you want to puke.

Doesn't sound too hard.

[btmagnetw]

doable but unpleasant as hell.

Umm, 17 dogs, and 9 of the 11 hours was sleep. So good analysis ass-hat. Most of you are right though: it's doable but it's not a good time. There's so much salt it's not too fun to handle. For the guy who said he could do 100 in this time I would love to see that w/ out training. I eat a lot more than most people each day (6-foot-4, 180 lbs with a super quick metabolism) and this isn't as easy as I thought it would be.

people who think this wouldn't be that hard are prime examples of how much average joes suck at prop betting and handicapping. no normal person, even a big eater, could pull this off. people quoting numbers from the nathan's competition... those guys are pros, big difference.


this is like asking a guy who jogs regularly to run a 4 minute mile. "no big deal, there are pros who can crush that" LOL

the skill differential from dedicated amateurs and professionals is HUGE in basically every endeavor.

um, no it's nothing like asking a jogger to run a 4 minute mile.

It's the exact same thing if instead of running a mile in 4 minutes, the jogger has to eat 50 hotdogs in two days.

I'm pretty sure the equivalent of asking a jogger to a run a 4 minute mile is to ask this guy to eat 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes.

The fact is this task is ridiculously easy.
