Oh my gosh that makes me think of the Bud Light "Real American Heroes" commercial for "Mr. Hotdog Eating Contest Contestant". I hope that guy didn't suffer too badly from indigestion afterwards.

I don't believe that there is any concern for indigestion since I am not sure if digestion actually occurs at all.

Hope they were given a pack of these:

One time on the Food Network I saw some sort of contest with a restaurant whose biggest hamburger had SEVEN (!) meat patties. Some guy tried to eat, I can't remember, maybe six of them or so? And french fries. No, he did not succeed.

I couldn't touch a hamburger after that for a long time.

Nathan's has a good marketing gimic there. Gets 'em lots of free publicity right at the peak of the summer season. Too bad it's unhealthy. Everything in moderation is my motto.
