At approximately 9:00 pm last night I successfully ate 6 spike’s Junkyard Dogs, receiving a t-shirt along with getting my picture on the wall…

Spikes Junkyard dogs aren’t just any dogs. They are much bigger and more filling then the ordinary American hot dog. The hot dogs themselves were twice the size of the average dog size. The most difficult part of the challenge was the bread, which was essentially a sub roll with each dog. Although I completed the challenge, I learned that this contest is the real deal. We interviewed one of the spikes employees, and he stated that most people who start off trying to complete the challenge end up finishing nowhere near 6 hot dogs. I believed him after eating 3. I was half way done and I had honestly consumed more then enough food for the night. Once I was done with 4 and 5, I simply had gone too far to stop. They encouraged me to try for more, but I had hit my limit at the minimal 6 dogs.
This is a great challenge for those who want to see what they are made of with their eating abilities. I must admit I was over confident when going into it. After seeing the actual dogs and after completing the first 3, I knew this challenge was no joke. Check back soon for more blogs and video posts.
