I wonder how much all of those hot dogs cost and whether he'll actually make enough money for it to be worth it.

Well according to wolframalpha, the mass of one hotdog is 106grams. So 0.106kg.
Now, the mass of the average pig (some site on google) is 150kg (we are talking avg. here).
now, some of the weight in a pig is in bone, and unusable parts of the anatomy, such as entrails. Lets only take 10kg off for these items because hotdogs aren't exactly pure.
150kg-10kg = 140kg. 140/.106= 1320.7 hotdogs per pig. Hold up, did I screw up somewhere? That's ALOT of meat. seeing as cows are bigger, more all beef hotdogs can be made.
Next time you look at an 8 pack of hotdogs, think twice, buy the full sized animal, now thats an investment.
Fun fact: when i googled "mass of a pig" I missed the "m" and searched for pig asses.

Well, even if the hot dogs cost 3$ each, it would only got 1350$. He would still be making 150$. Plus I think they probably cost less than 1$ each including the buns.

no he didn't mix it up, pigs can easily get to 150kg. Also hot dogs are at least 50% filler so honestly he's eating maybe 20% of an actual pig.

Apparently he won, ate the full number of hot dogs. It only cost about 400 dollars for all the hot dogs, and buns.
