This makes the food soft and well lubricated to masticate faster and swallow it more effortlessly. Any liquid could be utilized for this but more the calories in them it’s tougher to eat more. There is another method in which to break up the food into smaller pieces prior to consumption. This would allow the participant to consume more food into their mouths at one time and also slashes down on mastication time. In case of a hot dog the participant breaks it into half and then puts both the halves into the mouth at one time. Or else, it would become tough to consume the entire hot dog at a time because of the size. Participating men usually eat hot dogs and buns separately.
