It works best because I spend a good amount of time trying to figure out what was the best to eat pickles. Because pickles are so demanding and there's so much that goes on with pickles. From breaking them down, swallowing them and whatever, and all the things that I've talked about. So I think my technique, the test of my technique is that fact that I am the current world record holder. No one, has really come close to what I've done. I've seen some of my competitors and how they approached it. Guys who are drinking water. You don't drink water. You have water there in case you might need it because you have a big piece and you need to get it down, but for the most part, you don't waste time with water. So I've talked to other competitive eaters, found out about how they approached it and really collected information and figured out the way I was doing it was the best way to do it. So yeah, a little bit of research involved and also my own preparation.
