U.S. competitive eater Joey Chestnut broke his own world record this week for eating the most popcorn in eight minutes. His previous record was 32 24oz servings, which he beat by more than four servings on Memorial Day, May 26. He is best known for scarfing down dozens of hot dogs in one sitting. Chestnut says his technique is to take the right size bite, swallow, breathe and drink water.
