How many hot dogs can a human possibly eat? Science finally has an answer:
How many hot dogs do you think you could eat in one sitting?
You know, if you had to?
Fortunately, science has now provided an answer. Researchers analyzed 39 years of data from the annual Nathan's Famous Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest[*] and, using mathematical modeling, calculated the maximum number of hot dogs one person could possibly eat during the contest's 10-minute duration. The new study published Tuesday in the journal Biology Letters.
The answer, it turns out, is 84.

Please don't let that AC troll appropriate my name. I'm trying to be a better person and stop trolling the net for lulz. Well, at least I'm trying to make my trolling more humorous and not just to piss people off.
Thanks for calling them out though,

Who cares about humans, what we really need to know is how many hotdogs could a hot dog eat if a hot dog could eat hotdogs?
