Sonya Thomas at UMW – 22.5 HDB in 6 minutes
Fredricksburg.com reports that Sonya Thomas ate 22.5 hot dogs in 6 minutes at a contest at the University of Mary Washington yesterday, easily beating the runner-up, freshman Rugby player Daniel Kauffman, who ate 12 HDB. Sonya had hoped to eat more than 22.5:
Despite handily defeating the students, Thomas said she performed poorly because her jaw got tired.
When she practiced for the event a month ago, she said she ate at least 25 hot dogs in six minutes.
Even after yesterday’s marathon of sorts, she munched on a bun. “I’m tasting,” she said, while before she was just swallowing.
“You are my idol,” one student told her.
