Sports Conversation Starters For Your Workweek
Jul 03, 2022
It’s the easiest sports(ish) conversation starter of the year: How many hot dogs could you eat?
In case you’ve forgotten (and how could you?) July 4th is the annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. Competitors have 10 minutes to eat as many hot dogs and buns as they can. Joey Chestnut is the world’s No.1- ranked eater. He topped his own record last year by consuming 76 hot dogs and buns. Miki Sudo is the top-ranked female eater in the world and set the women’s record of 48.5 hot dogs and buns in 2020.
Probably more than you’d like to know about competitive eating, but it can be a fun conversation starter with family and friends of all ages. Especially if you throw in questions like these:
- Is competitive eating a sport?
- How many hot dogs would you want to eat at one time?
- What are the only acceptable toppings for a hot dog?
- Would you rather enter a hot dog eating contest or a pie eating contest?
Have some fun debates during your holiday celebrations and use these sports conversation starters when you get back to work later this week.
