"Champion Takeru Kobayashi

Hotdogs may have been invented in America - but when it comes to eating them, the Japanese are the best on the planet. At the 2004 World Hotdog Eating Championships on July 4th, Takeru Kobayashi pounded 53 hotdogs in just 12 minutes to set a new world record! That's more than one dog every 15 seconds!"

Gives new meaning to the term, doesn't it?
