I think its mostly one of those things thats for self pride. Like that Koboshi guy who always wins, the skinny Japanese guy, All the guys that compete against him are like massive lardo's who are thinking how in the hell does this 125 pound kid beat a 300 bruiser like me. Its ego

it's not an exclusively American phenomenon. it's very popular in Japan, where they had competive eating game shows in the nineties..... you almost never see it televised in America.

Maybe the guy does not think about the food and just eats.
I really like spicy food. I mostly put Jalapenos on a lot of my food.

Disgusting. I picture Kobayashi binging & purging as practice to stretch out his stomach.

But didn't some guy just break Kobayashi's record?

Didn't they say eating cabbage will stretch your stomach. I could've sworn I heard that from somewhere. Yeah, I saw on the news where the new record is 59 1/2 hotdogs in 12 minutes. lol

lol didn't you hear that Mikey from the Life Cereal commercial died from Pop Rocks & soda?! probably not, you're too young, also it wasn't true.

My mom told me about dried fruit & water. But my mom was notorious for lying.
