18000 calories at once

kxbrown27

So if one Nathan's Coney island hot dog has 170 calories, and assuming the bun has 100 (I don't know what kind they use), Joey Chestnut ate 18900 calories in one sitting today. All hail the king.

But how... ? And why?

Nathan's hot dog eating contest every 4th of July. He ate 70 in ten minutes. Because he can.

I've never witnessed this! Is it on YouTube yet? Not sure if badass or... Idk

Did he puke?

Puking, otherwise known as a reversal of fortune, results in disqualification. I'm sure it will hit one of the tube sites soon.

I bet he uses a laxative later ... That is a lot of weight to pack around.

A person could go into cardiac rest or anaphylactic shock and die from consuming that many calories at once.

That's why we should all leave this to the professional competitive eaters. These guys train for this.

Lol omg thanks for posting this! That was a fun watch. Their gag reflex is seriooooooooously on point! I wonder what type of training they go through during the year for this event. It takes me like ten minutes to eat just one.

I had to stop watching halfway through, made me want to hurl.
