    The stomach usually feels full at about 1.5 liters of food (roughly six hot dogs). Fifty hot dogs is almost 12 liters — more than 3 gallons — of food, says William Chey, director of the Gastrointestinal Physiology Lab at the University of Michigan.

    “For a normal, healthy individual with a normally functioning stomach and a normally functioning pancreas, it should be fine,” Chey says.

    THIS MUST BE THE SAME QUACK THAT THEY USE TO PLAY A DOCTOR IN X RATED MOVIES. THEY GIVE HIM A WHITE ROBE AND A TOY STETHESCOPE THAT ANYONE CAN PURCHASE AT TOYS R US
