Recently Nathan’s Famous announced professional eater Joey Chestnut was banned from competing in their 2024 “Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest” after signing a deal with Impossible Foods, a Nathan’s competitor.
And Impossible Foods responded with what could be the best unintentional tag line for Pride Month:
“It’s OK to experiment with a new [hot] dog. Meat eaters shouldn’t have to be exclusive to just one wiener.”- Impossible Foods, makers of plant-based fake meat products
Chestnut is a 16-time champion of the July 4th event held at Nathan’s flagship delicatessen in Coney Island, NY, and when it comes to handling wieners and buns, Joey Chestnut holds the record: 76 hot dogs and buns consumed in 10 minutes.
That’s an impressive accomplishment for anyone, no matter what Gender Pronoun(s) they care to label themselves with*, and it’s only one of at least 50 records Chestnut holds for his rapid consumption of food.
Two companies discussing wieners during Pride Month, with one claiming they’re against “wiener monagamy”?
For some strange reason this doesn’t surprise me.
Added Bonus!
