how many could you eat?

[fmarxnge]

probably not many, but i saw the hot dog thing on tv over the summer. it was freaking amazing. these big fat guys got owned so badly.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Not many. I'm not a big eater.

[evilmojo12542]

I can eat without questions but that is like eating 69 white castles in 8 min no way in hell and I way twice what that cat does

Yuck ... Krystal's is gross where I live at. The guy who was making the food for us was picking his nose, so I ended up turning around and getting the hell out of there.

[swetooth9]

eh...i could eat maybe 8 max depending on the size of the burger :) im not big, but i can eat some :D

More impressive is his record on eating cow brains. Personally, I'm full after just one cow brain.

"But the television began to shy away from such contests after a 14-year-old junior high school student choked to death in 2002 trying to imitate competitive eating during school lunch.

Despite repeated warnings from authorities about the danger, such contests remain popular at local festivals in Japan.

On November 6, a 38-year-old woman choked to death after gorging on bread and barley noodles at a local fall festival."

Fucking idiots.

They need population control in Japan, if people are choking on food they need to push for even more of these contests.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kobayashi clogged the toilet everyday.

[evilmojo12542]

guessing would take a seriouly powered plunger

How the hell can those Japanese people win so many of these damn eating contests? Do they starve themselves for a couple of days, weeks?

[Tromack]

Did anyone ever see Man vs. Beast on Fox? They had an eating contest between a bear and the world champion (small Japanese guy). At first the guy was kicking ass, because the bear didn't know what was going on. Then the bear sniffed the hotdogs and ate about 15 pounds at once.

[swetooth9]

its funny how the fat guys never win these contests :lol: the scrawny guys always win...

its the technique i guess...

[Moxio]

...O_O

That guy's skinnier than me and he can eat 12x as much as me.

[zionoverfire]

I'd say 2 maybe, after a few the greese really gets to me.

[evilpenguin9000]

Kobayashi is really the man when it comes to competitive eating. I mean 69 hamburgers may actually be more food that 53 hot dogs. His patented "Kobayashi twist" is what sets him apart.

I wonder if he can eat 50 eggs Cool Hand Luke style.

Such a high metabolism and a lack of fat to allow maximum stomach expansion are definitely key. And the worse thing you can do is starve yourself before one of these competitions, cause the stomach to constrict and allow less food than if you ate a normal meal earlier
