I did not calculate the time... Maybe I should have my BIL enter?
I watched him snarf down a chili-dog the other day in 3 bites, maybe 5
seconds total!

The question is tho' could he keep that up at a sustained rate for 12
minutes and not kill himself. ;-)

I proceeded to gently lecture him that one of the many secrets to weight
loss and eating less was taking your time and chewing your food. At the
last party I attended, they served grilled hot dogs.

I was able to eat exactly 1 and 1/2 with a bun, ketchup and a light
sprinkling of grated cheese, and that stuffed me for a good 6 hours. :-P

Never again. I'd not eaten a hot dog for at least 6 years... I never buy
them. Too high in sodium.
