    Maybe that's why it's called a Glizzy.. According to a study done by University of Michigan, each hot dog you consume could cost you 36 minutes of your life.

    Researchers classified each food into three color zones: Red, Yellow, Green. Green being recommended foods that contain the most nutrients and red being foods that should be avoided. They also found that chicken wings will subtract 3.3 minutes of your life, while a peanut butter sandwich will add 31 minutes to your life. If you have a nut allergy you could get some added life with baked salmon which adds almost 14 minutes or even a crab boil.

    This probably won’t change the record breaking hot dog eaters minds, Joey Chestnut and Michelle Lesco, from entering the 2022 Nathans Hot Dog Eating contest. Joey Chestnut gained his 14th win devouring 76 hot dogs in 10 minutes. Michelle Lesco took the win for the women's, taking down almost 31 hot dogs in 10 minutes.
