Hey everyone, it's Bonus Dose Day, and it gets released at maybe the perfect time, as Netflix just did a live event where Joey Chestnut and Kobayashi faced off in a hot dog eating contest... America LOVES massive amounts of food, and this video is a look at Baseball's attempt to use that fact to lure people to a game. This is one of the most fun videos I've made in a while, so if you're like "Oh but I don't care about sports", DO NOT WORRY, it doesn't have anything to do with sports. Enjoy!
Baseball is America's Pastime. BUT, it's kind of boring... SO, to entice fans to show up, teams try all sorts of gimmicks. And one of the most successful ones involves America's other favorite pastime: eating disgusting amounts of junk food. Buckley takes a fun (and somewhat frightening) look at some of the most insane foods served at ball parks across the country.
I think BeardMeetsFood would enjoy some of those dishes, like many "mukbangers" his channel is all about ridiculous eating challenges. I try not to give in to gluttony because I enjoy being (relatively) fit and also because with so many people struggling to survive in this world it just feels grotesquely selfish to stuff yourself with way more food than you need. If you want to be put off "fast food" then just read Eric Schlosser's "Fast food nation." GREAT BOOK!

I'm from Cleveland, Ohio home to the Guardians. You eat that Slider Dog with a fork.

Yeah, the two pound chicken tender looks to be about the same length as the hot dog. Nearly 2 feet long.

Sorry I wasn’t making myself very clear. You were talking about the chicken tender and the bed of fries. That whole dish takes up two seats. How long is the 2 pound chicken tender? That was what I meant. Sorry my dictation is terrible.

The last time I was at Citi Field, my friend recommended the Frosted Flake Crusted Tenders. It was surprisingly good, considering it's a weird combo. Very wild to see what they have in other states.

Would be interested if any people who live in Ireland have anything to say about that first one 😅

First thing comming to mind was Texas, but then I thought it's always Florida so I locked that. 🥲

It looks like it's probably somewhere between a foot and two feet. It looks about as big as the hot dog.

Jesus Christ, what’s wrong with a fuckin’ normal hot dog with ketchup and a coke?

Since I am blind, I use something called audio description. It wasn’t available for this contest. Audio description is a feature where a paid narrator is given a script. He or she then reads the script. And that is how they know how to describe exactly what is going on during the show and who is doing what. Unfortunately, There weren’t any describers during this contest. Which was disappointing. But maybe they’ll hire someone. Maybe I didn’t miss anything haha

I’m not going to lie. The 2 pound chicken tender with the fries and the 2 foot long chili dog sound really good. But I am scared to know how long the chicken tender is….

Seeing that Minnesota isn't on this list makes me really proud

Absolutely not surprised from which state the most gluttonous baseball food comes. Ah, yup, that's the state I know!

What a rollercoaster of intestinal adventures those would provide. First you feel like a shaken up champagne bottle with the cork stuck. Then you feel like the Big Bertha shelling London.

The names and ingredients remind me of the south park manatees making Family Guy jokes by grabbing random balls with words written on them. 😆

What the hell is wrong with people? I am a fat person and all of this looks pretty gross to me.
At least the fowl pole is just a mutant chicken tender.
I actually think the people who come up with these disasters are trolling.

I don't want to spoil it in case someone wants to watch it, but... I can tell you 83 Hotdogs were eaten by one man in 10 minutes.
