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 shitty 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.

Chestnut banned!

Joey Chestnut banned from 2024 Nathan's hot dog eating contest over partnership with vegan wiener company

Joey Chestnut, the winner of 16 of the last 17 Nathan's hot dog eating contests, was barred from participating in the 2024 event after inking a deal with a company rival.

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.
