I think competitive eating can go two ways. As it's going right now, it's getting bigger every year. Like I said, ESPN is talking about huge rates in viewership. Spike TV has picked up competitive eating. It's being covered. I know a lot of independent events I've been to, it's being filmed. There are always news spots, it's in the media. It's covered a lot by a lot of things. So, based on that alone it's growing. However, if people get tired of seeing hot dogs being dunked in water or you know, people sitting around eating burgers, there is a burnout possibility. Then people are like, this is gross, I don't want to do this anymore, we don't care. It could go either way. I think it's going to get more popular. I mean, you guys are filming me today.
