Apparently. I used to get 3 for a dollar at 7-11. Dunno if I want to put away 70

There was the 1927 Yankees, Richard Pettys 27 wins in 1967, Kyle Buschs winning an Xfinity race, and now Chestnut sets the all time record by downing 72 dogs in just 10 minutes.

I know I'd want to go down in history as the man with the most wieners in my mouth

I still don't get the attraction, or understand how, or why, this is a thing.

I dont actually watch the thing, but the whole idea is a hoot. Kind of like a good sarcasm of how the public elevates a sports personality above doctors, school teachers, firemen, etc or the real heroes.
It plays like a good weird Al parody video imo.
