1. Who was responsible for making Nathan's hot dog contest famous? How many hot dogs did he eat?
Takeru Kobayashi gave this competition it's international fame. In 2001, japanese Takeru devoured 50 hot dogs in only 12 minutes. Takeru won this competition for six consecutive years until rookie Joey Chestnut yanked that title away from him in 2007.
2. How many years has Joey won the contest prior to this year?
Joey has won seven consecutive times prior to this year. This year must've been a lot more special, seeing how he proposed to his girlfriend, Nelsie Ricasa, just before he began the competition.
3. What happened in the women's contest?
Three-time defending women's champion Sonya Thomas was unfortunately beaten by Miki Sudu. Miki ate at least 7 more than Sonya, claiming the title.
Critical Thinking:
What in your opinion makes these food eating competitions so popular?
I think it's the contestants because of how this competition actually became popular. It was all because of one contestant.
