Nathan's contest adds women's pigout

[thinkingdog]

NEW YORK -- This year's Fourth of July hot dog eating contest on Coney Island has a new taste: Nathan's Famous women-only pigout.

Sonya Thomas and nine other women will compete Monday before the men's stomach-churning feast.

Thomas has set a women's world record by stuffing 41 hot dogs into her 105-pound frame -- in 10 minutes.

Incredible how the small and skinny men and women always win these eating contests. Why can't a 300 pounder ever win?

Because the fat area around their (ok, our) middles constricts our stomachs so they can't expand enough.

I don't remember where I read it, but 60 hot dogs and buns are something like 27 lbs. Need all the stretching you can get.
