Hot Dog Munching Videos Part 1

// August 4th, 2009 // No Comments » // Fun Stuff, Videos

The brain trust, the geniuses behind this competition and website, did a little research and found a whole lot of videos of people doing their challenges. Some of them are quite disgusting, others educational.  Some are so dragging and long that when you fall asleep, you’ll feel as if you’re still watching them. One common thing that spreads across the videos is that they are all unintentionally hilarious. Let’s have a look at the first video.

This is Anne Kristelene Rivera Año, eating it out over at 7-11, Sta. Lucia branch. The video was uploaded by edrah.

Now, the key thing to note here in this video is her unerring look of determination as she forces down hot dog after hot dog. You almost kinda feel sorry for her. Almost. I mean, look at her struggle. Okay, she doesn’t look to be in much pain. She even looks like she’s thinking about other things. Like, how the hell she got talked into doing it.

Eating Machine Videos!

Every time I post a video, I encourage you guys to post your own videos of your time trials. Fortunately for me, since I am running out of things to write really fast, our very own Gladiator, Mr. Ryan Santelices, sent in his video. Thanks for sharing this, man! Here it is:

Dude, you’ve got a lot of fans. I know you did much better than this. You had what? 3 minutes? And is that guy screaming in the background your coach? He’s a real motivator. I wonder, does having someone do that to you helpful or does it become more distracting?

You can see him utilize some professional eating techniques. Awesome stuff.

Up next, we have a couple of videos shared to us by Armi, a commenter on this here site. Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention. I’m not entirely sure, though, if we have permission from the guys who uploaded these videos if we can use them. Armi, do we have permission? Meh, either way, they’re on youtube so they’re free game, but if you want them down, we’ll take em’ down, is everyone cool with that? Okay, great.

This one’s from Revolution X. Apparently, he’s from the Rockwell branch, and he kinda failed badly. WARNING: He kinda swears here a little bit. If you’re under 18, don’t watch the next video. Parents, do your job. I’m not entirely sure I’m allowed to put that there, but I’ll take it down as soon as I get in trouble for it. Here it is:

Speedy G, Boy Dilim and Abibay!

// July 21st, 2009 // No Comments » // Fun Stuff, Videos

In keeping with the tradition of professional eaters and their nicknames, I present to you Speedy G, Boy Dilim (love that name, bro) and Abibay. They’re here to give us tips for winning this competition. These are, unsurprisingly, extremely helpful tips. Here we go:

This video debuted at the official launch last month, and I think Speedy G is that speed talker I missed. I am thoroughly impressed. And I thought I couldn’t shut up. Also, there’s really something I thoroughly enjoy about seeing a girl wave a hot dog around. Thumbs up, guys.

Oh, and this is also a shout out to anyone who may want to post a video of their runs at the stores. Send the links over so we can feature them here. It doesn’t matter if you broke into the leader board or not. Just have fun and send us the vid. If we like it, we’ll feature it.

7-Eleven Big Bite Match Event

// July 6th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Announcements, Fun Stuff, Videos

Last July 4, 2009, at the Rockwell Tent, 7-Eleven officially launched the Big Bite Match. Even though I was late for the event, I still managed to have a great time. The food was free, the music was good, the show was awesome, Goose was incredible, and oh, the food was free. Man, the food was good, too. I missed quite a bit, but I was told there was some speed talking or something, and some guy in a hotdog costume, making jokes packed with hot-dog-esque innuendo. Now, that’s something every man needs to see at least once in his life.

The crowd

Crowd

There were a lot of people at the event, mostly supporters and media, but because the space was pretty big, it didn’t feel too stuffy, and I wasn’t exchanging bodily fluids with strangers, thought that might actually be fun. (more…)
