Hypothetical...Joey Chestnut vs Usain Bolt

[UK_Dallas]

This has been a barn burner poll on another board so why not bring it here.

The premise - you have to eat a hot dog and then run a 100 meter dash.

Who wins? Chestnut or Bolt?

Rules - no training, in their prime, hot dog must be swallowed.

One vote only please.

What the difference between an usain bolt 100 m and a ****** 100 meter? 6 seconds? I’m sure chestnut could eat the hot dog 6 seconds faster.

 

[funKYcat75]

I voted for both because the poll allows multiple votes.

An average adult male can probably run 100m in 20 seconds and I don’t think an average person is finishing a hot dog in less than 10 seconds after Chestnut.

 

[Gassy_Knowls]

Definitely Bolt.
Due to the munchies from the Jamaican ganja 2 hours prior to the race.

a single hot dog? I'd take Usain Bolt. If we are talking about a big plate of them than probably Joey.

You think he could finish a hot dog in 15 seconds or under? Chestnut averages 7 seconds per dog. The average person probably averages 3-4 bites per dog. And then add in chewing...

i voted for Jamal Chestnut because i once ate chestnuts and they’re awesome so they always win in my book hussein is probably a muslimb

 

[WildcatFan1982]

Thats why I put my max at 1. Yes I think Usain Bolt could eat a singular hot dog that quick. Past that he'd probably throw up half way down the track

 

[WildcatFan1982]

now if these are Chicago style hot dogs than Chestnut wins while Bolt is still sitting there understanding the joy that a Chicago dog is

I think you should test out how fast a not quite normal human can eat a hot dog.

I say it takes you :30 or longer.

Had my first (and then my second) Portillo's hot dog about 5 years ago. I'm not a hot dog lover so I wasn't thrilled about having dinner there. Figured at worst I could get a bowl of chili. Well I'll be damned if that dog wasn't the tastiest one I'd ever eaten. Had to get a second. Muy bueno!

One of the saddest moments of my life was last summer pulling up to my hotel in Indy. Saw a sign across the street for Portillos, only to notice moments later it was 'coming soon'.

What is “eat”? Chewed and swallowed or just in the mouth à la the end of the hot dog eating contests?

Rules clearly state the dog must be swallowed.

Don't you read anything before you vote multiple times????

 

[funKYcat75]

No. Not really.

 

[Canakkale]

Bolt would win because Chestnut doesn't know how far a meter is.

 

[bthaunert]

Joey Chestnut ahd it wouldn’t even be close. He would probably be done with the 100 meters before Boot even finished his hot dog.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

Chestnut banned!

I think it's more like 8 seconds. I think it would take Chestnut say 4-5 seconds to eat it, I think Bolt could do it once in 12 seconds.
Now if it were 2 hot dogs, Bolt has no chance.

 

[catsfanbgky]

Bolt. Chestnut would pull a damn hammy trying to run 100 meters.

 

[catsfanbgky]

make it two hot dogs, but 100 meter hurdles. That would really get interesting.
