66 hotdogs in 12 minutes!

This writer tried to break Peter Citron's record of eating sweet pickles thirty-some years ago. His record was 67 in three minutes. 57 was consumed on one try only.

Today Johnny Chestnut, who weighs like 160 lbs, ate 66 hot dogs. Have you ever lined up 66 hot dogs, 66 hot dog buns, and a few gallons of water? It would take at least a day or two to eat that much. He did it in 12 minutes. Why is it twelve and not thirteen. At least thirteen is an unlucky number and it can't be a good day to eat that much. The runner-up only ate 63 but at least his name consists of one word and miracles can happen with those with a name with one word. Like God.

So what did Mr. Chestnut do the rest of the day? Was he on the pot? Did he take laxatives? Did he induce vomiting? What did his stomach think with hot dog after dog filling it beyond a whales capacity? What kind of toilet paper did he use and how much? Was his doctor present? Does he need time to recover like a boxer? What does Chestnut do to prepare for this contest? Does he do jumping jacks? Why would you even want to eat this much? Will he get endorsements for some hot dog company? Nike won't be involved. This writer thinks this is the real story and somebody needs to cover it?

    Sorry to inform you John but he doesn't weigh 160 lbs. He is actually 210 lbs. The runner up is about 160 lbs though. With the hot dogs and the buns together, he ate 12,000 calories! Gross.
