If they're eating 90 lbs of cheese I seriously doubt it constitutes half their body weight.

If anyone can do it, we're probably talking about someone for whom it's more like 10-15%.

I was thinking if anyone could do it they’d be like Takeru Kobayashi who weighed like 130 and could eat 50 hot dogs in a single sitting.

50 hot dogs is like 5 lbs, so we'd need to scale that up 18x.

So the equivalent to Takeru Kobayashi here would weigh a literal ton - 600 lbs is like a 6 year old child eating 50 hot dogs.

I know this is all a joke but I have a 4 year old who’s in the 98th percentile for height and weights between 30-40lbs. I’ve never fed him 50 hotdogs but I’m not 100% sure he couldn’t do it. It’s insane how much that little guy can eat.

I’m also impressed by your knowledge of hotdog weight.

Oh I googled to see how much hot dogs weigh when I did the math for that comment.

It’s good to know. I’m going to start using hotdogs as a metric. Recently I started a diet because I’d like to go from 1900 hotdogs to around 1750 hotdogs.

10 percent? Realistically how many 900 pound people are there??

u/evocativename 11h ago

Very few, but they're the only ones who even might be able to pull it off (and it's still straining credulity).

a 900lb person? That is what you are suggesting here?
