The annual Fourth of July event took place in front of spectators in Coney Island. Sudo set the women’s record in 2020 when she ate 48.5 hot dogs and buns.

The competitive eater reported feeling less full and uncomfortable as well, which may have in part due to the greater expandability of his stomach and the relative lack of peristaltic motion. This meant that the stomach behaved more like a expandable storage sack, like a more rubbery fanny pack. In fact, while the control subject’s stomach made more writhing motions called peristalsis to move food along to the small intestine, the competitive eater’s stomach remained comparatively more still. A publication in the American Journal of Roentgenology described how a 20-year-old competitive eater’s stomach was able to expand much more than a control subject’s stomach.
