Notice how we didn't say ON your pizza!

Wow, the world of gimmicky food is out of control. There's gotta be a league of evil, insane, and hungry people creating these things.

We've got bacon sundaes at Burger King, and now we have Pizza Hut offering pizza with hotdogs baked into the crust!

Those of us in the states, however, will have to wait a while before we get a chance to sample — the pies are only in the U.K. for now, and there aren't really plans to bring it here!

There isn't an official calorie count, but you could probably be lookin' at around 450 calories for a whole pizza!

Just kidding, that's PER SLICE.

We'll pass! Thanks!

Wow.

So, Top Chef star Padma Lakshmi is apparently terrible at hosting things, because her audience interrupted her to donate a thousand dollars to The Moth just to get her off the stage:

“She was rambling,” our source said. She told a long story about wanting to try a hot dog and later begged guests to donate $20 each. The man stood up and said, “I will donate $1,000 if you get off the stage right now.”

Lakshmi’s rep said, “She was not intoxicated but having fun in an unscripted format … The person offered $1,000 and Padma said she’ll take that offer.”

LOLz!

Rambling about hot dogs??

We guess that's one tactic to get people to donate: be just so terrible that they pay you to leave!

Mmm…America never tasted so good!

In a tradition now synonymous with the 4th of July, Joey Chestnut took top honors for the 5th time in a row after scarfing down 62 hot dogs at the annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.

In the patriotic competition, which began in 1916 after four immigrants faced off on Coney Island to settle an argument about who was the most patriotic, competitors have 10 minutes to eat as many hot dogs as possible.

In order to eat such a large quantity of hot dogs (22,000 calories worth!), participants usually eat the dog and bun separately by soaking the bun in water, then violently shoving it in their mouth.

Hmm…maybe we were just kidding about that tasting good part! LOLz!

For the first time EVER in the contest's 96 years of existence, there was a separate women's division this year. Sonya Thomas, known as the "Black Widow" of competitive eating, downed 40 dogs to take her first Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest title.

Congrats on the victory guys! Now it's time to hit the treadmill or play a sport that BURNS calories! Ha!

If you were too busy eating your own hot dogs at holiday BBQ, check out the highlights from the event above!

Takeru Kobayashi is a champion eater and holds world records for eating hot dogs, hamburgers, and meat balls.

But his reign as eating king of the world may be coming to an end.

On Sunday night in Brooklyn Kobayashi attempted to become the world’s greatest pizza-eater and failed. According to reports, he struggled through then entire contest.

Next week he will attempt to break the lamb pot stew eating record in Taiwan, and we will be able to see if the pizza debacle was a fluke, or if he truly is losing his edge.
