Eating contest are such a bizarre human thing. Like it would be pretty hard to explain the reasoning of it to an alien.

>well you see, humans gotta eat to survive, and some people can't eat a lot if at all In parts of the world but in some places humans see who can eat the MOST then they purge the food out of their body so they get no benefit out of their intake...why you ask? Not really any reason just to see who's the best out of 10 humans

I was in the front row for the northeastern semifinals of the Nathan's contest. It's kinda gross being there watching dudes cram soggy bread into their mouths until they cough them up.

If you phrase it that way, anything sounds weird.

>Well you see, the most popular sport is football soccer, they just chase the ball from one side of the field to the other, trying to make a goal into the net. Not really any reason, just to see who's the best team.

Sports are understandable though, there's a strategy and a skill involved. Like chess is easy to explain like each player is making a different puzzle for each other to solve every turn and when you can't solve the opponents puzzle any more you lose.
But eating contest are just odd

There is strategy and skill involved in competitive eating. You just don't think so because you don't understand it.
