Stevie Wonder Wins Nathans Hot Dog Eating Contest
In a shocking upset, Vegan Stevie Wonder won the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating contest.
The heavy favorite to win, was 13 time champion Joey Chestnut. Chestnut was -1112 favorite vs. the field as per BetMGM. However, due to a contestant being scratched due to explosive diarrhea, Wonder was a last minute fill in.
Wonder, who is a vegan, said, “They told me these were vegan hot dogs. These better be vegan or Ima crack some skulls. I thought I was on line for the roller coaster. Some guy then starts sticking hot dogs in my mouth. So I said sure. I am game for most things.”
Not only did Wonder win, but he set a new world record, eating an incredible 108 hot dogs in 10 minutes. Last year, Paul McCartney set the record with 107 hot dogs. Joey Chestnut was the previous record holder when he ate an astounding 74 hot dogs in 10 minutes to set the men’s record in 2018.
Joey Chestnut is said to be devastated and in seclusion. “Damn Stevie Wonder has everything, he couldn’t let me have this!?” said a weeping Chestnut. “He can sing, he is rich, he’s a great songwriter. Yeah I know about the blind thing but for chrissakes, it hasn’t slowed him down, and honestly, I heard he’s not really even blind.”
Wonder commented “I was just having a laugh. I didn’t know these people take this so seriously. I just started eating and I got into a zone. They went down like peanuts. I am probably going to be sorry tomorrow. Are you sure these things are Vegan? I got a rumbly in my tumbly that only meat could cause.”
