The correct answer is Hot dog eating contest
So why is this answer correct? : Every Fourth of July, contestants come together at Coney Island to stuff themselves full of as many Nathan’s Famous hot dogs as possible. The story goes that in 1916, a group of immigrants challenged each other at the Nathan’s Famous hot dog stand to eat as many as they could to prove who was the most patriotic. The first official company-sponsored contest was held in 1972 — the challenge is 10 minutes long, and contestants have been known to down as many as 75 hot dogs.
