Hello all you correlationers!
We hope everyone had a nice 4th of July week! There’s nothing better than taking a dip in the pool, eating a donut, seeing some fireworks, and watching the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. If you missed it, Joey Chestnut won his 12th Mustard Belt, 4th consecutive, by eating 71 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes! It’s a feat that some call disgusting but we think he should slow down for a whole different reason. It turns out that the winning number of hot dogs eaten during this contest and the price of a US stamp has a 82% correlation from 2001 through 2019! At this rate, in 2050 it’ll cost $0.85 to mail your grandma a birthday card and they’ll gladly be eating 116 hot dogs on a leisurely afternoon!
