Joey "Jaws" Chestnut got the day's festivities off to a spectacular start when he ate his way to the top at the annual Nathan's Famous 4th of July hot dog eating competition, consuming a whopping 69 hot dogs in 10 minutes to break the world record and snag his 7th consecutive contest win.
That's almost one and a fifth of a hotdog per second. Why? I do still eat too fast, but I came to the realization some time ago that there are no taste buds in the throat or stomach, so slower eating is more enjoyable.
