At all times, people loved to compete. V USA especially popular speed eating contests … Since the 1910s, competitions for the absorption of all kinds of products have been massively held in the country. And every year the amount eaten in the allotted period of time only increases.
The history of speed eating contests dates back to rural fairs. Initially, people were encouraged to race to eat vegetables and fruits provided by farmers.
Between the 1910s and the 1940s, speed-eating contests became very common in the United States of America. Many manufacturers of not only food, but also other products used these competitions to popularize their products.
Sometimes contests grew from harmless pastime of eating something to real gluttony. For many, preparation and participation in such competitions cost many months of problems with the work of the gastrointestinal tract.
The funniest thing about these contests was that the weight and mass of a person were not at all indicators of a mandatory win. So, in 1929, on Thanksgiving Day, a miniature contestant Olga Cinek in one sitting managed to eat 25 pancakes and 21 sausages, washed down with three cups of coffee. The girl's rival, 190-pound (86 kg) Joe Hanley, never managed to break her record.
The most famous in this area is considered to be the hot dog fast eating contest (Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contests). It was first hosted by diner chain owner Nathan Handwerker on July 4, 1916. Four men were asked to eat the maximum number of hot dogs in 12 minutes. Since then, every year (except for 1940) this competition has been organized on Independence Day. If in 1916 the winner of the competition managed to defeat only 10 hot dogs, then in 2009 an absolute record was set - 68 hot dogs in 10 minutes.
During the Great Depression, the public needed to be distracted from pressing problems, so contests were an integral part of American leisure. Popular at the time dance marathons have gone from mere entertainment at fairs to a merciless business. Most of the participants were ready to dance for hours for the amusement of the audience just for a piece of bread.
