CheatSheet.com has a post about actor Ed Helms’ memories of filming the “Beach Games” episode for the sitcom The Office. He shares this story about the hot dog eating competition:
“What I remember is eating tons of hot dogs and spitting them into a bucket,†Helms recalled. “For me, the act of spitting chewed food out of my mouth activates my gag reflex. It was so upsetting.â€
The Office star described the nauseating visual that came along with putting the scene together. “The worst part is the prop folks are walking around with a big plastic bucket and like four people are spitting into it. You have to spit out, but you’re looking at other people [doing the same thing]. It’s just disgusting.â€
